    Weird "network abnormal" error message - help please

    No, I never did solve this but can still access using Firefox. I don't have a NVR to test. Another problem is the fact that Safari doesn't work with self signed certificates so I can't even get to the "network abnormal" stage. Out of curiosity, what was the old firmware and what did you upgrade...

    Weird "network abnormal" error message - help please

    I’m hoping there's a guru somewhere out there who can shed light on a weird problem. Background: I have multiple IPcams from various manufacturers including Hikvision DS-2CD2332-1 and over the years have routinely configured using Mac Safari, that is until now. I just got a new Hikvision...

    Synology Storage and NAS questions (and request for help)

    Yes, I thought the same so I did an uninstall and reinstall and then added the cameras. To clarify my comment about the page load timing, sometimes the page never loads or maybe it will with a refresh but even then it seems to take a minute. Whatever, it's not usable as it is on a high-end...

    Synology Storage and NAS questions (and request for help)

    Some additional info... I have mp4 Video Station movies that stream over https without any buffering or stutter. Conversely SS Timeline takes minutes to load, sometimes never and once finally loaded and playback starts it's totally unusable because each segment buffers and plays back at high...

    Synology Storage and NAS questions (and request for help)

    Are you using http? I have always used https but maybe that's the reason for the poor performance. Of course not the default ports.

    Synology Storage and NAS questions (and request for help)

    Short run Cat 6 from camera to DSM so likely no delay there. Running Surveillance Station 6.3-3347. DSM 5.0-4493 Update 3 on OSX 10.9.4. Two 3T WD Reds. WAN live viewing has minimal stutter so can't figure why poor playback speed with no other resources running on late model Macbook Air. I've...

    Synology Storage and NAS questions (and request for help)

    I have two DS-2CD3332-I cameras and a Synology DS 213j with Surveillance Station (SS). I'm happy with in-camera motion detection and SS recording. The problem is the excruciatingly slow playback even when viewed locally on the same LAN. In Timeline mode it takes forever to move from one...

    How to hack 5.1.2 firmware on China region cameras to English

    Correct, this was 5.1.6. I understand CBX upgraded to 5.2.0 on a camera he had already run his app. After the upgrade characters remain in English. I'm tempted to do this on my 5.1.6 camera but will hold off for now until I understand the benefits of 5.2.0.

    How to hack 5.1.2 firmware on China region cameras to English

    I posted a question a few days ago about remote telnet. If anyone is interested I was able to do this by first accessing the remote router and setting up a non-standard external port forwarded to internal standard telnet Port 23. I did this because I have a NAS on the same router and didn't want...

    How to hack 5.1.2 firmware on China region cameras to English

    I'm a newbie to this forum and have a dumb question about remote telnet. I hope it's OK to attach my question to this thread, and if it's the wrong place please let me know and I'll repost. I updated a DS-2CD3332-I from 5.1.2 to 5.1.6 and as expected after the update characters are now in...
