    Hikvision camera admin password reset tool

    SOVLED: So I went with 1 and got my cameras back working. Since I had already run the brickfixV2 upgrade. All I need to do was change ip to 192.0.0.128, start the hikvision tftp server, and restart each camera to re-download the 5.4.5 firmware.

    Hikvision camera admin password reset tool

    I have a bunch of DS-2CD3332-I cameras running V5.4.5 170123 all activated. I updated the firmware in 2018 but have forgotten the password. What steps can I take to recover? 1. Reflash? Is this safe safe without knowing the password? 2. Reset button by pulling down and opening each one up? 3...

    Personal Residence IP Camera Setup options?

    Have you looked at Milestone system. You can get it for about $50 per camera. I think it has a much better remote viewing client compared to Hikvision.

    How anyone can get your WiFi password

    Interesting thread. I'm trying to understand the security implications on this one. As far as I know this MITM attack does not impact SSL connections unless the CA cert is compromised. Most of my devices are hard wired except phones, tablet, and printers so the only traffic on my wifi would be...

    Recommend to me a good POE+ Switch

    Just get a regular swtich and use a 8-port POE injector. I think that is good upto like 125ft runs or more.

    Ideas for "fishing" cat5 through a finished ceiling

    Borescope is good option. If you don't have access to one, you can get cheap "usb inspection cams" from china on ebay for like $20. I did this and it really helped me with a 1st floor run to my attic. I don't think i would have been able to do i without the cam, cause of all the obstacles I had...

    Hikvision iVMS 4200 Client/NVR

    You need to setup a local stoarge server in PCNVR, and then assign the cameras a recording schedule and to record to the storage server.

    My Hikvision Home Setup

    I don't want to know how you got the camera up on the pole ... lol. Also I'm guessing your local power/cable company is OK w/ DIYers using their poles.

    Running Hikvision's iVMS 4200-PCNVR & Milestone's XProtect Go on the same machine

    Yes its the same thing. I agree its poorly done. This is a business that is not targeting consumers. I would recommend the Xprotect if you are looking for something more polished. However, even that company does not really do retail support either.

    Running Hikvision's iVMS 4200-PCNVR & Milestone's XProtect Go on the same machine

    Sorry to hear that. FWIW I also have a Nexus 5 and the PCNVR apps have been acting stangley. I found that the live playback on the iHIK app stutters, but recorded playback is smooth. With the ivms 5400 app, the live view is smooth, but recorded playback stutters. I don't know why this is, and a...

    Running Hikvision's iVMS 4200-PCNVR & Milestone's XProtect Go on the same machine

    Yes, I have iVMS 4200 and Xprotect running on the same box. I am only recording with iVMS at this point but I can use the Xprotect to view the live streams at the same time.

    Neighbour's tree fell onto my front lawn.

    Got it. Attitudes like that is why people need cameras.

    Neighbour's tree fell onto my front lawn.

    Did your neighbour give you permission to do that? Unless it was obvious the tree branch was unsafe, its your responsibility to dispose of it. And if you thought it was "about to come down" you should have either told your neighbour or trimmed the branch from your side of the property.

    Does the web interface require Internet Explorer ... or will FF / Safari / Chrome work too? Also, can the android app you posted playback recorded video or is it just a live view?

    IVMS 4200 Remote Access (can not change password defaults)

    Now I'm trying to setup IVMS-4200 so I can access it remotely. The first thing I wanted to do was secure the Storage Server by changing the default admin password. 1) If I go into the IVM-4200 client, select the "remote configure" the storage server, then modify the "admin" user, I can not type...
