I just looked at the cameras and whilst the DVR is using a random Port, the cameras are 8000.. I just tried to change them and the GUI is a bit of a mess.> You can't set manual unless uPNP is on.. And when you do you can change the port, and save.. But it goes back to 8000 again.. So I don't...

I edited my post after writing it.. Looked at the UPnP settings on my router and had several ports to my IP Cameras open.. I have never trusted UPnP for this very reason and I am not sure why I turned it on, as I open my ports manually.. But that said, uPNP or not, my DVR is on the public...

asdf1234 did it.. So hacked then? I am not overly worried as its just a shot of my garage and nothing exciting happens there.. But I am surprised anyone can connect to it as I am behind a NAT firewall have no open ports to my cameras.. I do have an open port to my DVR though and can connect to...

I have 2 DS-2CD3335-I IP cameras that have been setup and working with my DVR for years.. I just noticed that one was offline and to cut a long story short, when I try to login it says the username/password is wrong (same as the error shown on the DVR).. I am 100% sure it didn't change, so its...

I setup my Hikvision system (8xAnalogue cameras and 2xIP) years ago and have had little problem.. But by chance, I just noticed that the IP camera in my garage was not shown so I assumed it was off line But I could ping the 2 cameras and get a HTML connection to them.. But where as one camera...

Cheers all.. This camera is actually destined for outside and I am ordering another for the inside of the garage... So I will take your advice onboard when its in its final resting place...

:) Cheers.. Didn't even think of that when I posted this. I would have tidied up a bit first, as I have a lot of mess at the moment due to ongoing projects... I am still trying to find the best position for the camera, some am moving it about and as you can see the other side isn't quite as well...

I think thats exactly what I am seeing, as I have been playing with different apps and something (havn't worked out what yet) is changing my config. I wonder if a way to solve this is to create a user or operator level account, which doens't have the option to change config.. .This could be the...

You might be right, but its a bit "soft" to be flare... But I have a ton of other cameras (but not IP) and they don't have this. For example, I have a fleet of FPV based quadcopters and planes, all using a similar type of camera (unhoused) and they don't have the "flair" like this. The only...

Thanks all for your help.. I found the 16:9 button in live view, but it was still wrong on my DVR.. BUt after days of fiddling around, the problem has simply vanished.. now the aspect ratio is fine. I wonder if this is related to another problem I have found, where the 'config' keeps changing...

I am suffering with a problem on my new DS-2CD3335-I where bright lights have a 'bloom' around them, like there is a smudge on the lens. The outside glass is perfectly clean, and looking at the lens inside, it looks OK.. So I can only assume that there is a fingerprint on the inside. Is it...

Not for me it doesn't.. I have it set to 1920x1080P and the ratio is the same as 2048x1536: When I go into the web front end and look at the CONFIG -> DISPLAY option, I see a 4:3 frame and it looks correct.. And when I go into Live View, I see a 16:9 image, but its squashed (as its been...

I just looked at the resolution numbers and its clear what the issue is.. Its a 3MP camera which works at 2048x1536 and this is 4:3, not 16:9.. But the odd thing is, Hikvision could "crop" a 1920x1080 image out of this 4:3 frame and make a 2MB 16:9 image, so its odd they havn't done this... So...

I have just built an "analogue" CCTV system using a Hikvision DVR and run out of channels, so planned to use the IP capability of the box to add 2 more cameras. I ordered a DS-2CD3335-I from China and it arrived yesterday and it was soon connected to my box.. But I was far from impressed with...

Seems to be. With UPnP off, i havnt had a single crash. But when i put it on, i get abnormal restarts at random intervals.

Cheers.. I am in the UK and looking to order from China.. In the UK these cameras are £150, where as in China, more like £60. I have read much about problems with firmware and multi-language... So I am going to order one to see how I get on and will get a 2nd if it works out OK THnaks for your...

I cant find those models... I was actually thinking about the DS-2CD2322WD.. Or even the 2332 which is 3MP and slighty,easier (cheaper) to find. http://overseas.hikvision.com/en/Products_accessries_159_i5637.html With regards to IR range, thr indoor one needs to light up a garage approx 5x5m...

I know nothing about IP cameras but need 2 to finish my CCTV setup (my other 8 cameras are analogue). What Hikvison cameras could i use? I need good picture quality (day and night), but only 1080P. And since one is external, i want it to be quite robust, but fairly small if possibile. i am...

I have just built a CCTV system using a DS-7208HQHI and Generic Sony CMOS cameras. I now want to utilize the IP capability and add 2 more cameras to cover my garage... The DS-2CD2035-I cameras seem quite popular, but are they OK? Will they connect to a Hikvision DCR? Jon

I know what NAT/UPnP is and the implcations of using it. But if it causes the box to crash with an "abnormal shutdown" how is that not a bug? I dont think Hikvision intentionally built in a "feature" that randomly reboots the box to punish people who use it.. Its an obvious "bug"!

Interesting that you think this is a network issue.. Hikvision were a hige help and told e to disable NAT/UPnP.. Did that 12 hours ago and have not had a restart since. there is no proof its the casue, but i am going to re-enable it again to see if there restarts reoccur. but it looks like a...

In 12 hours, i have had 7 abnormal shitdowns so far, so this appears to be something quote serious. i think i need to speak to Hikvision to get their view as this could be a faulty box, i guess.

Yesturday i started my CCTV install using a Hikvision DS-7208HQHI-SH and it was looking good. the box ran for 36 hours with no troubles. But today i happened to be looking at it thinking about my next move and it reset.. Then minutes later it reset again. i decided to upgrade the Firmware to...
