    H.264 vs H264H vs H.265 encoding

    Agreed, and removed.

    Scrap lumber switch rack

    Neat. Stylish.

    RF Detector?

    That's perfect, a full stealth result. That's one possible cause for the NVR behaving oddly now eliminated - it's not accessible from the internet such that any vulnerabilities could have been exploited.

    Camera Password Corrupted - Power Surge Knocks off NVR

    The camera should have been automatically activated by the NVR after you reset the camera to defaults. Odd that it didn't, when the channel is set to Plug&Play. But you can still add the camera manually. If the admin password that you activated the camera with is the same as the one the NVR is...

    RF Detector?

    It might be interesting if you repeat the test with the NVR connected as it normally used to be.

    RF Detector?

    Well done! Yes, that's a perfect scan result, there are no listening ports found on the inbound scan. A full stealth result, as it should be. However - a question - did you have the NVR powered on and 'connected to the internet' as you normally used to for reviewing recordings? Not just...

    RF Detector?

    OK, but here is a simple non-technical thing that you can do that may provide potentially useful information. One of the many services that will do an inbound scan from the internet to see if there are any holes in your inbound firewall protection. This just needs you to 'connect the NVR to the...

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

    Good to hear - thanks for sharing. Not using the R0-specific method that you have used, the G1 cameras have a different architecture. I've not had my hands on a Chinese G1-series camera, so I've not explored how the region is defined, sorry.

    Hikvision NVR email notifications overriding IP camera email.

    Are both cameras connected to NVR PoE ports - such that the email notifications must go via the NVR, or are the cameras on the LAN such that they have direct access to the internet? If the former, maybe as an experiment reconfigure the newer camera power and network to operate on the LAN and...

    HikVision DS-7732NI-M4 versus DS-9632NI-M8

    Storage capacity - 8 drive bays with RAID capability vs 4 drive bays. A larger number of UHD resolution cameras. Recognising and being able to make use of a wider set of advanced camera capabilities. Not that the spec gives detail on that.

    Well done, you did it!

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

    Min-System mode should allow telnet access, so the fixup script can be activated. But it would normally use the 192.0.0.64 IP address, not the 192.168.254.2 address that your SADP list is showing. I'm not sure why that is. If you change the PC IP address to, say, 192.168.254.100 does a telnet...

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

    Is the camera still connected to the NVR PoE port? And the PC on the LAN? If so, the camera isn't directly accessible. If the camera is still connected to the NVR, either connect the PC to an unused NVR PoE port, or connect the camera to the same LAN as the PC and power the camera with 12v...

    Looking for advice on multi-site solution

    Some questions aimed at helping get constructive responses : Is this for camera traffic only, or other traffic also, if so what type? Have you been given a hypothetical budget to work within? That would require the maximum bandwidth of any solution, and also provide multiple point of failure...
