I wrote this recently which runs as a cronjob on a raspberry pi I have on my network. Every 15 minutes, it checks to see if the current time is within 10 minutes of the sunset/sunrise time for my location. If so, it will open up my XML file for either Day or Night and send that configuration to...

Thats a good point - seems more like for a siren or something that would be hooked up to it. I will look into the camera API. I have one thats pushing updates to my cameras at certain times of the day to adjust the image settings so I might make something that listens to the camera events and...

Anyone using a Hikvision NVR that has an alarm output feeding into a raspberry pi? There seems to be a lot of potential with other home automation things that could be done when these triggers occur. Just trying to find the correct wiring setup from the NVR to the PI so that I can receive the...

I'm not a huge fan of Hik-connect but I do like the push notifications I receive almost instantly from events. A few weeks ago, when I got the push notification, it told me specifically which camera was triggered. Something along the lines of "Intrusion Detection From Front Door". Something...

Looks like my issue was not escaping symbols correctly in CURL. I had a $ sign in my password and I needed to put a \$ before it. That being said, I was able to login with the admin account with this change. Doesn't work curl --digest -X PUT -T backyard_night.xml...

Hmm, maybe i just am the unlucky one :) I will try the same url, just with the admin user and see what happens.

I have two WD 4tb purple drives in my NVR and a 3tb NAS configured within the NVR itself, not to individual cameras. I see that my two internal drives are full but the NAS is not. Are all these drives redundant and recording the same data to three separate drives or am I misunderstanding...

I figured this out. I had to create a new user on the camera using an operator role and selecting the roles. I wonder if this is a security limitation where it doesn't allow you go login using "admin" through this method. LM~ ch$ curl --digest...

I got one of the cameras set up and the routes working correctly (I can ping it from my network). However, I am still getting unauthorized when trying to CURL into it. I tried with both digest and basic/digest in the WEB and RTSP settings of the camera. I am able to however access the link...

Hello, I installed a Hikvision D7600 series for my parents using the following cameras (Hikvision 8MP Camera DS-2CD2085FWD-I 2.8MM). We set up a trigger for the front entrance camera to sent email alerts with an attachment. Randomly, the attachments are coming through distorted like so...

Thank you for this detailed post! I actually have a new router coming tomorrow so I will give this a try then so I'm not wasting time setting up configurations twice. I will report back as soon as I give it a try.

Did you have to change any camera settings to get this CURL call to work? I am receiving un-authorized when I try the same command you are using (with the correct user/pass).

I am trying to follow some of the many scripts that have been posted on this site for connecting to Hikvision cameras via CURL so that I can eventually toggle the day/night profiles. I feel like I have tried all of them and nothing seems to be working. From a camera directly, I can access the...

Thanks! A few of my cameras have SD cards in them already that are already recording to it as my backup. For those that don’t have the SD, was going to try and get a separate NAS set up for them to save to redundantly.

I have my NVR set up with two internal drives as well as a NAS. I noticed that in my camera settings, there is its own storage management section where you can also configure a NAS and even trigger events to upload to "Upload to FTP/Memory Card/NAS". If I set another NAS up on the camera, will...

Turns out since I am using an HDMI switch between the NVR and TV, there is some type of issue when its changing resolution or something to full screen causing it to lose signal. No issue with the firmware at all thus far. Phew..

I recently updated a few of my cameras to the 5.4.5 (Baseline Firmware_IPC_En_V5.4.5 170124(2X12FWD,2X22FWD,2X42FWD,2X52F)) that I found on Hikvision Europe's download portal. The install went fine and everything appears as normal. The issue I am running into however is when I double click on a...
