Thanks, Mike! I'll keep an eye out for them since I'm not quite desperate for new cameras right now.

Looking to pick up a few more turrets (IPCT-HDW4830R-I), but it's been out of stock for months. Will these be restocked or are they discontinued?

Prefect! Thank you, Mike! Now that I know it works perfectly with my existing hikvision cameras, I will be ordering more very soon!

Hey. No problem! Yeah. Either connecting to the camera or remote in would work. What's generally a good day/time for you? You're on the east coast? I'm okay if we need to wait till after mother's day weekend. Thanks in advance!

Hi Mike, Could you give me a hint about what I might be missing trying to get my IPCT camera connected to Hik-Connect? I created a thread in the IPCT forum, but it got moved to the Hikvision forum. Is there anything unique with the IPCT camera versus stock Hikvision? My existing cameras are...

It looks like I can login to Guarding Vision website with my Hik-Connect login and it sees all of my existing cameras. But I can't add my new camera because the Platform Access tab still shows "offline."

I'm running a few Hikvision cameras (no NVR) and I view them with iVMS-4200 at home and the Hik-Connect app on my phone. I just received my HDW4830R-I and I can't seem to add it to Hik-Connect. I want it to show-up along side my other cameras. Am I missing something? Under Settings -> Network...

Thanks. If your chime isn't getting enough power, you probably need a higher resistor value, not lower.

I just checked and it does not include a resistor. Are you sure you have an RCA? The user manual (see image) has a complete list of everything in the box, which is fully accounted for. What wattage?

RCA. I don't recall the resistor, but I will check tonight.

No, I have not. What value did you use? I'll have to try.

My RCA V1.4.62 Build 171127 doesn't play the "unavailable" message. But my brand-new mechanical door chime is buzzing like crazy.

I also submitted feedback through the Hik-Connect app a few days ago. I'm not holding my breath. This is the biggest disappointment for me because it makes the video doorbell pretty much only slightly better than a dumb doorbell button and a separate camera (which I already had) most of the time.

How do you do that? You mean the motion detection notification? If so, do you get a lot of false alerts? I was planning to turn off motion notification. Wish the doorbell notification was just like the motion.

I ended up buying the RCA version anyway and mine does not seem to have that subscriber-not-available announcement. I upgraded the firmware using Hik-connect and it's at 171127. But the problem is that when someone presses the doorbell, Hik-connect (Android) pops up and the "ringing" sound...

The only thing holding me back from this purchase is the the "subscriber not available" and "no platform available" messages. Any way to disable them without turning the volume down and effectively disabling the 2-way intercom feature?

Which hikvision box fits the 2532?

Did you use the trapezoidal knock-out opening of the box? If so, how did you interface that to your conduit? I'm running Cat-6 directly into the opening, but need some sort of rubber grommet or something to protect the cable.

You use hexedit (or any other hexadecimal/binary editor) to edit the temp5 file before you write it back.

Thanks for your thoughts. Since this is my first Hikvision purchase, how confident are you that I won't brick the cam (unrecoverable brick) with an invalid checksum? I already have SSH enabled, an nfs share mounted, and backups of the mtdblocks. I have previously recovered from a bootlooping cam...

I've got several Chinese 2532 and 2432 cams... One cam is 2015-01-10 and has the old simple checksum-16. I was able to edit MTD5/6 and upgrade to v5.2.5 and it stayed English. The 2015-01-24 and 2015-01-25 cams have the new checksum that I can't figure out. I compared a pair of them...

I just got my first Hikvision cameras a few days ago and I'm finding the language and organization of the menus and options to be utterly confusing. From my limited experience, your calculations of the sensor/pixel sizes and scaling look correct. But I noticed there are two settings that affect...

Re: Good source to buy Hikvision items at. How does one place an order?
