Thank you for the quick and very useful replies. Looks like I have a little project to work on;)

Hi I added SMS notification to trigger actions on one of my cameras and I can't get it to work. I know this feature worked about 6mo ago. Using latest version of BI, set cell provider appropriately (Verizon), confirmed that email notification works, BI server is allowed outbound access by my...

I have a Hikvision OEM PTZ with the tracking capability. You can set the touring between presets and enable the auto-zoom function. Be aware that the actual operation of the auto tracking feature is usually sub-optimal. It may reliably track larger objects but also has a problem tracking shadows...

Follow up: so it rack mounted fine. The weight of the hard drives is mostly up front. I used a ratcheting strap to hold it in position to secure the cage screws. Before and after below.

Try disabling ipv6 on camera subnet

Problem Solved. On the recording schedule tab there is an advanced button. Select camera then this opens to a dialog box where you can enable recording of audio. Had to reboot everything, now recording is working.

Just set up this camera with a Hikvision 9632 NVR. Tried all the tips can hear sound live but not on playback. Tried several different audio codecs and settings. Anybody recording sound on this NVR?

Make sure frame rate on culprit camera not too high and bit rate is set appropriately.

Returned them. In 2 the imaging plane seemed misaligned with the lens- only part of the image was out of focus.

Interesting I have purchased a few cameras from B and H and 3 have been out of focus. Have had better luck on AliExpress. Agree they have excellent service though

Anyone selling these in the US?

I ended up replacing all these with the 2335 turrets. MUCH better image quality day and night plus no problems with spiders.

Maybe it needs a specific firmware to activate that feature. Where did you get it from?
