I have a range of HikVision cameras (2CD2332,2CD2342WD,2CD2032,2CD2042WD,2CD2132,2CD2432F), all running the latest firmware (v5.4.5). One of the cameras that I recently purchashed (2CD2042WD) appears to be having issues and wanted to get some input, before attempting to replace it.


Symptoms...
All I can tell is that the web interface becomes not responsive, or extremely slow. Actually, the web inteface becomes not usable.

Reboot: Rebooting or power cycle does not appear to help.
Default: After a reset to defaults, it appears to start working again, but the issue soon appears again.

This is one of the newer 4MP cameras, but I have another cam like it and it has no issues.


Question? Is there anyway to enable a ssh interface to these cams?


Regards....

My bet would be a network cabling issue.
How is it powered / what's the cable length / how was the cable terminated and tested / to what wiring scheme / what's the camera hooked up to and can you check error counts on the interface?

Thank you so much... I didn't think to go there since it was "somewhat" working.
I'm using these inexpensive NetGear GS108PEv3 POE switches. The switches provide some Port Statistics and a Cable Tester utility... I checked this camera's port and both show errors!!! The Port Statistics displays CRC Error Packets and the Cable Tester shows CrossTalk error. Again, thanks for the input!!! I will get this worked out and I'm assuming all will be good.
