    DDNS HIKVISION CAMERA

    Agreed - there is a problem in understanding. What DDNS settings on the camera do you change when : Currently, when my public IP changes (for example, after restarting the router), I have to manually update the DDNS settings on the camera to reflect the new IP.

    DDNS HIKVISION CAMERA

    If you read and understand the good primer from @jmhmcse above you should realise that you've misunderstood how DDNS operates. Only the ISP can define your public IP address, picked from their assigned pool. The purpose of a DDNS service is to associate the ISP-assigned IP address with your...

    DDNS HIKVISION CAMERA

    I don't really understand the problem or question. The DDNS settings on the camera are fixed by your choice of DDNS service provider and your chosen domain name. And the chosen domain name is how you wish to address your camera instead of using the ISP-assigned public IP address. What specific...

    Hikvision camera admin password reset tool

    There is something I just remembered that I should have realised earlier - I should have asked what version of firmware SADP is showing for the cameras. Firmware older than 5.3.0 does not have the inactive/active status after having been reset to default values. It just has the old fixed...

    Hikvision camera admin password reset tool

    Yes, that's pretty normal in the plaintext version of the configuration files. One of them is the default value to use when reset. But the format of the files does vary with the firmware version. In the 7 files from your last configurationFile attachment, there is just one reference to admin in...

    Hikvision camera admin password reset tool

    Is the PC that SADP is running on connected to an unused NVR PoE port, assuming the camera is also connected to an NVR PoE port?

    When I'm back later today let me recheck the workings to be sure I didn't transcribe it incorrectly.

    Hikvision camera admin password reset tool

    The password for admin for both the Room Two South camera and NorthEast Side camera is asdf1234 Interestingly, this is a password that used to be used when cameras exposed to the internet were hacked and their password changed.

    Hikvision camera admin password reset tool

    Due to a security vulnerability, many cameras with firmware version 5.4.0 or earlier will export their configuration file via the web GUI without requiring credentials. That file is encrypted and XOR encoded, but is readily decrypted and decoded to reveal the admin password in plain text. OK, so...

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    What IP address did you set the PC to use? Did you allow inbound access to the tftp updater in Windows firewall? Are the camera and PC each connected separately to a switch or router port? A direct connection between them can be troublesome. Is the camera powered using 12v as opposed to PoE? A...

    HikVision NVR supporting ONVIF Profile S & G But Not T

    A Hikvision NVR with Hikvision cameras doesn't need to communicate using the ONVIF standard. They will connect with full functionality using the native Hikvision API capabilities.

    DS-2CD2342WD-I Password reset

    That password reset request file must be processed by a Hikvision system to generate the response file. Sorry, but that's not something I have access to.
