    Hikvision Intercom Ringtone audio format

    Here, follow this tutorial to get your ffmpeg environment setup, copy your original audio file to a folder, then once you're at the command prompt/console you would just need to run two commands similar to: cd c:\path_to_your_folder\ ffmpeg -i pipe.mp3 -acodec pcm_s16le -ar 8000 -ab 128k...

    Dahua Intercom Customization? Any ideas?

    Any idea about how to turn off the LED on the outdoor unit? hopefully one can get away with something like setting a GPIO pin to low (as in the raspberry pi)

    Dahua Intercom Customization? Any ideas?

    Hey Nayr, I recognize your avatar from the "Dahua black face at night" thread, great work there :) thank you for your pointers, I didn't know about about mtdflash (will have to google it up to get details) I supose it allows you to write into the read-only flash mountpoints?

    Dahua Intercom Customization? Any ideas?

    Interesting, I've used ffmpeg to analyse the original phone_ring1.pcm audio file and it read the file as being AAC encoded. I've uploaded this file here: phone_ring1.pcm (122.45KB) - SendSpace.com I've then used ffmpeg to convert my raw PCM "dingong" audio file into AAC and renamed the output...

    Dahua Intercom Customization? Any ideas?

    Thanks I'll give it a shot. I'd rather stay away from this hack (unless there's no other option of course) as the unit seems to have a hard-coded once-a-week reboot (visible on the web UI, you get to choose the week day it reboots)... since this is controllable via telnet I can get my raspberry...

    Dahua Intercom Customization? Any ideas?

    btw, if anyone's interested, here's the PCM file I'd like my indoor unit to play: dingdong.pcm (92.52KB) - SendSpace.com

    Dahua Intercom Customization? Any ideas?

    Hello everyone, I've been trying for a few weeks to find an answer online to my customization craves without success so I might give this forum a try: I've got an VTO2000A outdoor unit and a VTH1560BW indoor unit paired up and working happily together, however: - The 2 stock ringtones that...

    Problems connecting intercom system to the Hik-Connect mobile app

    Just to close the loop regarding my case: Yesterday I received my Dahua Intercom replacement on the mail (the folks at Megateh.eu were kind enough to accept that I exchange the unfit for purpose Hikvision intercom system with a Dahua one). I thought I'd share my initial impressions with the...

    Problems connecting intercom system to the Hik-Connect mobile app

    Well, I've got 5 chinese Hikvision dome cameras (DS-2CD3145F-I) and they all either take DC12V (through one generic cylindrical DC Plug) or 48V passive POE (that's how I'm powering them, using an Alfa APOE08_Lite passive POE injector). Both intercom station do accept the same 12V DC (or...

    Problems connecting intercom system to the Hik-Connect mobile app

    Hi @Peter, I've tried ivms-4520, Hik-Connect (the problem with this app is my main focus on this thread), and every other Hikvision-braded app in the iOS app store without success. Hikvision overseas support and my hikvision dealer both don't seem to be able to help either. Regarding...

    Problems connecting intercom system to the Hik-Connect mobile app

    As the main selling point (for me) of an IP intercom system is so that it offers the ability for me to answer the door when I'm not home using my smartphone, I'm considering returning this Hikvision intercom (clearly this being not just a case of poor documentation, rather than poor integration...

    Problems connecting intercom system to the Hik-Connect mobile app

    Update, here's a proper/working RTSP session launched from the ivms 4200 application running on a windows host, launched towards my door station using "Live View" mode (definitely the RTSP protocol in use has a different format than the one used by the mobile IVMS 4500 - which isn't working -...

    Problems connecting intercom system to the Hik-Connect mobile app

    Cheers @pilscoop, nice to hear that someone's on the same boat :) In case you're still having issues with the new ringtone feature available on the 1.4.0 firmware, after many hours of trial and error I "sorted it out" and wrote a tutorial around it here. If I eventually get to the bottom of how...

    Hikvision Intercom Ringtone audio format

    Just thought I'd post a little tutorial on how to properly format audio files for the new ringtone upload feature found on firmware version 1.4.0. This procedure took me a while to figure out and I couldn't find any proper documentation around it...unless you can call this snippet from the...

    Problems connecting intercom system to the Hik-Connect mobile app

    Here's the RTSP packet Capture snippet between my iphone running IVMS 4500 and the door station camera...it does seem like the IVMS 4500 app is sending an RSTP SETUP command in a format that the door station doesn't support: DESCRIBE rtsp://172.16.2.106:554/mpeg4/ch01/sub/av_stream RTSP/1.0...

    Problems connecting intercom system to the Hik-Connect mobile app

    IVMS 4500 on iOS doesn't work for me either: I get "Error Code: 413" when trying to launch Live View on the Indoor Station, and "Error Code: 427" when trying to launch live view on the Door Station (Using the wifi network to where both these devices are directly connected, albeit in a wired fashion)

    Problems connecting intercom system to the Hik-Connect mobile app

    So things have evolved somewhat since yesterday. I configured a router in my network, which is running dd-wrt to rewrite the DNS record of dev.ys7.com to the ip of dev.ezviz7.com and since I've done that, the indoor unit "reset its configurations" and made me re-activate it again (looked...

    Problems connecting intercom system to the Hik-Connect mobile app

    I get that, but the hik-connect app only seems to support "the cloud"....the ivms 4500 mobile app doesn't support either the indoor or the outdoor intercom unit (I've got an openvpn gateway at home and use it to access my hikvision dome cameras all the time, I don't even have a default gateway...

    Problems connecting intercom system to the Hik-Connect mobile app

    Damn...my hope is that the fact that this product line is being pushed into the North American market will make hikvision better support it outside of china. Also if you look at the hik-connect app version history there is at least one mention about support being addded to their intercom family...

    Problems connecting intercom system to the Hik-Connect mobile app

    They even went into the trouble of adding a specific section on a user guide on how to setup their Hik connect app with this intercom system...and it wasn't exactly cheap either, with loads of cheaper alternatives (and better documented too)...This is just me self-inflicting pain and misery...
