    Has my Hikvision ip camera been hacked?

    Sorry, I reset the camera already and was able to upgrade to the latest firmware. Disabled uPnP in config. Seems to be working fine now. Thank you all for your quick assistance!

    Has my Hikvision ip camera been hacked?

    I reset my cablemodem to factory defaults. Turns out uPnP was enabled by default, so I disabled that. Was able to factory reset all ip cameras & disable uPnP on all of them except for Hikvision DS-2532F-IWS which I disconnected before, ever since I discovered the red text overlay. Tried to...

    Has my Hikvision ip camera been hacked?

    Actually, I didn’t do a port forward.

    Has my Hikvision ip camera been hacked?

    I did go into BlueIris to double-check the login/pwd but couldn’t get in with it and yes, it’s connected to a Zyxel unmanaged switch & port forwarded.

    Has my Hikvision ip camera been hacked?

    Hello all! Posting a screencap of what appears in my Hikvision camera in BlueIris. Static ip address in my home network is 192.168.0.206 using Port 8095. This Hikvision camera is part of my BlueIris outdoor perimeter DIY 24/7 surveillance system which I am running on a Lenovo TinyPC with...

    Is the NEW Dahua Mini-PTZ 52C432GBNR better than the SD4A425DB-HNY?

    Changed the thread title to compare with the most recent mini-PTZ everyone here is familiar with. I know there are no IR LEDs, but what if there is enough street lighting? Looking to replace the 2MP DH-SD52C225U-HNI as they are exactly the same form factor.

    Is this a good cable for an outdoor covert camera installation?

    I’ll have to do some reading up as I’m not well versed on fiber. My run is around 40’ (20’ inside; 20’ outside) through a PoE+ power injector, from a Zyxel PLA6456 powerline adapter.

    Is this a good cable for an outdoor covert camera installation?

    Thanks for the reply. So would this be a more appropriate cable to use?

    Is this a good cable for an outdoor covert camera installation?

    Hello All, just purchased a Black IPC-T5442T-ZE-S3 from Andy @Empiretec and planning to use this CAT6 outdoor direct burial rated cable to run PoE+ to the camera. Any thoughts or advice?

    Is the NEW Dahua Mini-PTZ 52C432GBNR better than the SD4A425DB-HNY?

    I was browsing the Dahua US website’s product selector and saw this new WizSense 32x Mini-PTZ. Specs sure look identical to the 2MP DH-SD52C225U-HNI but now with 4MP & 2560x1440 rez. Wondering if it’s worth waiting for as I’m assuming the Auto-Tracking would be as good as the SD4A425DB-HNY...

    Question about using IPC-Color4K-T for covert face detection

    Sorry, one other question. Would a wifi booster/extender with an RJ45 Socket work as well?

    Question about using IPC-Color4K-T for covert face detection

    Do these ip cameras work with Powerline Adapters. Location doesn’t allow me to run a CAT6 line directly to camera. I probably would have to use a PoE injector to make this work.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Having the IPC-Color4K-T180 as an overview camera paired with this SD4A425DB-HNY ptz would provide the best coverage I will have had of our driveway & street since I built our BI video surveillance system back in 2014! It would also solve my facial detection dilemma that my family keeps...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    That’s what concerns me about this SD4A425DB-HNY ptz. I used to have a SD52C225U-HNI which already had a wider FOV (62.8°) and this was the view from our home’s 2nd floor soffit! The wife only wants 1 camera up there & if she makes me remove the IPC-Color4K-T180, I’m toying with the...

    Push notification with snapshot

    Is this still the case with the current DMSS IOS app. I am in the same boat as the OP wanting to somehow send a snapshot with the alert but can’t see any option in the app. :(
