I've also used smtp2go to finally get around this problem. Ssl doesn't work, but at least the email alerts are working again

1x DS-2CD2332-I2 v5.2.5 Build 141201 (Chinese) 6x DS-2CD2232-I5 v5.2.5 Build 141201 (Chinese) DS-7608NI-E2/8P v3.3.1 with virtual host enabled Australia My gmail email alerts stopped working (after a year) despite app specific passwords. I've tried Yandex with: Username smtp.yandex.com Port...

Bugger - saw that other huge thread. I've been getting my cameras to do the alert mailling in the past as when you get the NVR to do it, it only sends out very low res pictures. I'm using an app specific password on all my cameras, but they aren't working. Unfortunately, they are chinese...

So after it working flawlessly for the last year +, all of a sudden my cameras can no longer send emails. On testing it says "cannot connect to server". Nothing has changed, no firmware updates / network changes etc. I've checked all network settings / email addresses / passwords etc. I'm using...

Hi All, I've got a Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P with 8 POE terminals (Firmware: v3.3.18 POE ports) connected to: 1x DS-2CD2332-I2 v5.2.5 Build 141201 6x DS-2CD2232-I5 v5.2.5 Build 141201 My question is, if I'm using the Hikvision DDNS service, is it important to change the camera's passwords...

Hi All, I've got a Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P with 8 POE terminals (Firmware: v3.3.18 POE ports) connected to: 1x DS-2CD2332-I2 v5.2.5 Build 141201 6x DS-2CD2232-I5 v5.2.5 Build 141201 I've managed to enable virtual host, and get motion emails sent directly from the cameras. The issue is...

Unfortunately, there seems to be some bugs stopping it from working properly. When you select normal motion detection in the NVR, and expert mode motion detection in the cameras, it seems like there's always at least 2 cameras which will email on detecting motion, but the recorded will not...

After much tinkering, I finally got it all to work. You have to log into the NVR, adjust the settings for it to record, and save them. Then log into each camera individually, and fine tune it. Save it. Any edits to motion detection in the NVR for a particular camera will overwrite the camera...

I had already reformated the drives with no luck. (Both are brand new) However, as part of troubleshooting another issue which alastairstevenson kindly helped me with, I had to update the firmware to 3.3.1. I also did a physical power cycle, and another re format of both drives. Anyway, I...

Alastairstevenson - A network naive person like me managed to follow your suggestions and got it working exactly! Thank you x3!!! Now the motion alerts emails come from the cameras. They are much higher res (450k each). Unfortunately with the v3.3.1 NVR upgrade, the fine tuning ability of the...

I've upgraded the NVR to v3.3.1. For some reason I had to disable DHCP to be able to specify the preferred DNS server (192.168.178.1), otherwise it would not register online. v3.3.1 enables Virtual Host, and I can now view Line Crossing & Intrusion settings for each camera. However, again only...

No dumb questions - I'm the one that's too dumb to get it working - so I'm humbly looking for any advice! I have previously experimented with a NAS on the NVR but didn't get it working so deleted it. I did have the NAS set up on a single camera previously (worked well), but I factory reset it...

So weird. I get email alerts about 4 times a day about the HDD errors, but I can't actually find anything in the logs.... Fingers crossed the 3.3.1 firmware sorts it

I've got v 3.0.8 on mine without virtual host. where are you getting the firmware from? Can someone post a link cause I can't seem to find it on the hikvision website. Thanks Edit - found it (feeling a little silly)

Well, I don't seem to have Telnet access either :-( Logging in remotely, I can't find it under Network / Advanced. I've also tried to telnet in remotely (I don't know if that should work but it didn't). I'll try again from home later. Assuming I have neither Telnet, nor Virtual host, would...
