    Newer Hikvision offerings still using active/x controls?

    Curious if the newer Hikvision models are still using webcomponents.exe active/x controls. With Windows deprecation of Internet Explorer, I'm considering upgrading all my cameras (2CD2385G1's) to something newer that uses newer technology in the browser interface. However, there's no...

Reviewing the logs, I noticed my cameras, which were configured to use ntp (pool.ntp.org) were spamming the dns server every few seconds. going to one of the cameras, I pull up the Time Settings page and verified my settings: I had set this up years ago...

    low profile, wide angle illumination

    I recently moved a couple of cameras to a new area, but the ambient light is really horrible (north side of building, virtually no moonlight even on full moon evenings.) I've been thinking of adding additional IR illumination, but everything I seem to find looks like a giant floodlight. I was...

    DS-2CD2442FWD audio

    I picked up a DS-2CD2442FWD on the cheap so my wife can use it in the nursery to monitor our daughter from her cell phone, rather than using a baby monitor. I cannot get the audio to work in internet explorer, though. No matter what audio settings I use, the audio control shows as muted in the...

    CAM-IPM-3B-29IR

    I have recently come into possession of an IP camera, the only identifying mark is a sticker on the bottom, indicating the model # is CAM-IPM-3B-29IR POE 3MP. Googling this yields a few references to Aventura Technologies. Visiting their web site yields nothing useful. I am attempting to...

    Alternatives to Hikvision DS-2DE3304W-DE

    I’ve been using a Hikvision DS-2DE3304W-DE to feed images along with my weather station to WeatherUnderground. I have one camera which sits on a pier overlooking Buzzard’s Bay. I’m disappointed with the quality of the images... the amount of sun glare from the dome enclosure washes out the...

    PTZ

    I have three DS-2DE3304W-DE PTZs, I'll call them A B and C. One, C, has odd PTZ positioning issues. I'll try to describe. Think of a clock face representing the 360 degrees of azimuth of the camera, with the 12 representing 0 degrees. On two of my cameras, A&B, 0 degrees azimuth corresponds to...

    Panoramic pictures w/ PTZs?

    Anyone aware of a piece of linux command-line software, or method, by which a Hikvision PTZ camera could be used to create a panoramic photograph? I'm assuming I can set, via a script (perl, php, etc.) the camera's x/y axis through the api using and then capture an image, traversing the x or y...

    Need Recommendation

    I need an (affordable) external PTZ with wifi capability, there is no way for me to get (short of a fiber run) a network connection to the site of this camera. 2MP is sufficient, low light is not necessary, principle use is daytime. I've looked around the current offerings for Hikvision but...

    Adding 8mp camera into BI... Camera settings?

    Experience with 2CD2142FWD ?

    Mother in law wants to set up a security camera system at her beach-house. No NAS. I want to avoid bullet cameras due to spiderwebs and height (inability to remove spiderwebs if they collect). Was considering these given the price-point. While low-light Dahua's may be preferred, they're way...

    Hikvision file structures

    I purchased several DS-2CD2042WD's (USA retail box) running firmware V5.3.8 build 151224 to record stalls and paddock turnouts. I set up a 1TB share for each camera on my NAS and initialized the storage to record video. I set up the cameras identically (each to a different share) to record on...
