    Event emails not working from HIK camera.

    @Alastair You were right. I had to insert an app password from Google to send emails through gmail. Thank you for your spot on help.

    Event emails not working from HIK camera.

    You are right, I had forgotten to setup the static routing of the PoE subnet to the NVR LAN IP in my new router. Now all cameras succeed in sending emails except from one camera that "username or password is incorrect" Interesting and weird error. I know the gmail account credentials but it...

    I have several DS-2CD2335FWD-I with firmware V5.6.821 build 230831 connected to the NVR DS-7616NI-I2 / 16P with firmware V3.4.96 build 170921. All cameras are connected to the PoE internal switch. The cameras (not the NVR) used to send email alerts upon events trigerring. At one point I changed...

    Initial review of the DS-2CD2347G2-L(U) ColorVu 2.0 IP camera.

    I tried again to upgrade DS-2CD3347G2-LSU with firmware Firmware__V5.7.18_240924 obtained from DS-2CD3347G2-LS(U) and it still fails. The HIK portal shows 2 versions of firmware. The read me file states Network Camera-V5.7.18 Release Note-G5 (2024-09-24) and the other read me states Network...

    Initial review of the DS-2CD2347G2-L(U) ColorVu 2.0 IP camera.

    I have tried to upgrade an DS-2CD3347G2-LSU from firmware V5.5.820_231108 to either V5.7.17_240606 or V5.7.18_240826 and the upgrade fails. Anybody else with similar failures and possible solution?

    Upgrading firmware for DS-7608NI-SE/P

    SSL and TLS are related protocols for authentication and encryption. The old protocols in the old 7608 NVR are not supported in the modern versions of email servers for security reasons. The same is true for the popular camera HIK 2335 model of that era.

    Upgrading firmware for DS-7608NI-SE/P

    It is the old TLS version. In that era you could not load a European FW to a Chinese targeted NVR. People were importing grey market cheaper Chinese versions to European markets that supported only Chinese language and they were converting them with many dubious ways to English. But when you...

    Upgrading firmware for DS-7608NI-SE/P

    The problem is not the SMTP used in the email. The problem is the TLS encryption and authentication protocol used by most modern email servers like Gmail. The only solution is to find a provider that supports the old encryption and authentication protocols or even that you setup your own email...

    Upgrading firmware for DS-7608NI-SE/P

    In the past I have posted that the DS-760XNI-SE(P) is very finicky when communicating with the PC that has the TFTP server. Try to find my posts. I have recovered my personal same model several times from apparent brick states. Connect the NVR and the PC with the TFTP server ONLY to an...

    Using 2 HDD in NVR

    When you format each drive, you can select the operating mode (R/W or Redundancy). The two drives can be of different size. Each drive will store different duration. I record 14 cameras at around 4Mbps each. In the screenshot attached the first drive 4TB is in R/W mode and stores approximately 7...

    Upgrading firmware for DS-7608NI-SE/P

    Your build number indicates a 2015 released firmware. The earliest firmware version I have is 2.3.3 build 130604 from the USA FTP portal of around 2015 (meaning released in 2013, just when the SE/P series was rather popular. The earliest firmware from the European portal was 2.3.7 build 131112...

    Review of the Hikvision OEM model IPC-T2347G-LU 'ColorVu' IP CCTV camera.

    All budget cameras (including HIK or dahua like cameras) have very poor software in handling the bright IR emitted from the cameras both in terms of intensity and also in terms of coverage. The best solution is to add additional and external lights to the camera. The external lights must be...

    Review of the Hikvision OEM model IPC-T2347G-LU 'ColorVu' IP CCTV camera.

    In security terms, Any malicious incident involves quick motion of people or cars. Any camera speed slower than 1/100 results in motion blurring rendering the video useless. When the motion vector is perpendicular to the camera axis the blurring is worse than when the motion vector is parallel...

    Review of the New Accusense DS-2CD2T46G1-4I

    @dimo. In the NVR firmware previous to version 4, the post Record field cannot be set to 0. The minimum value is 5 secs. Please confirm if there is a change in the NVR firmware 4.0 and higher. In the stream type, the Dual stream means recording both the primary high resolution video and the...

    Please post your video and image settings. How many watts (or even better lumens) is your light bulb? Judging from the various light shades on the cars, there seem to be various light sources on the road that greatly help the road view. However when you turn off your light bulb, the contrast...

    DS-2CD2332-I Image quality

    Hik Vision in the past two years has improved the specifications reporting by specifying in most cameras (not all) the Horizontal and vertical field of view angle. However, the still do not specify the f capability of the lens, that is the aperture of the lens. Therefore the minimum illumination...

    @fenderman Which are the newer models to the 2335 with equal or better image quality especially at night? I get the feeling the 2335 is disappearing from the market.

    DS-2CD2335FWD-I - Hikvision Ultra Low Light 3M camera

    @Kilojade At your first pic with the car, more than 50% of the pic is the shaded patio. The camera tries to expose for that area. Unfortunately it can not cope with the brighter part of the road and hence it overexposes it. If the camera had better WDR range it would be able to cope. Which...

    DS-2CD2335FWD-I - Hikvision Ultra Low Light 3M camera

    @triumph202 If you set the exposure at 1/25th at night shots it means you do not have enough ambient illumination. The result will be blurring during people motion. especially when the motion direction is across the camera view. When the motion will be towards the camera view, the blurring will...

    DS-2CD2335FWD-I - Hikvision Ultra Low Light 3M camera

    The panels I am talking are the thin LED panels used in office ceilings. They provide more uniform diffused light over a wider area. You car sunlight pic is typical example of a high contrast pic that cameras have trouble to capture it properly. The 2385 is also WDR enabled (as is the 2335) but...

    DS-2CD2335FWD-I - Hikvision Ultra Low Light 3M camera

    Your door shot has very poor illumination at the car distance because of your door light at the left of the pic. You must avoid such light or change the camera location to avoid it. Alternatively add more light towards the car to balance the contrast.

    DS-2CD2335FWD-I - Hikvision Ultra Low Light 3M camera

    My experience from similar solar lights is that their solar panel is very weak and poor quality that even in direct sunlight exposure all day, the solar panel does not charge fully the batteries. Also I have tried several LED lights to enhance the illumination at night. The problem is that these...
