    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...

    Event emails not working from HIK camera.

    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...
