I will need to mount this at an angle because of the location of my current doorbell. Will this be possible? Also I wonder if there is any way to compare the video obtained tight the NSC-DB2 and the video of the Nest Hello Doorbell? Any video samples of the doorbell actually installed to judge...

The voltage at my doorbell is only 15volts. I suspect I have an old doorbell transformer. I think it is hidden in the recesses of a largely inaccessible attic, so I can't easily change it out. Is there a way to make this work with my existing doorbell set up?

Thanks for your response. Let me give you the background information about how I have my camera set up. This will help explain my bandwidth constraints. My camera is powered by PoE. Rather than run a long ethernet cable from my router I am using a TP-Link Powerline adaptor. This is the...

I have a DS-2CD2032-I camera with firmware V5.1.6 build 140412. Under Configuration/Video I am offered three video Resolution options: 1280*720P, 1920*1080, and 2048*1536. The only resolution choice that comes close to producing a properly proportioned image is the 2048*1536. The other...

I have a Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I camera on my front porch. Firmware is V5.1.6 build 140412. Under Configuration/Video/Audio there are three options for Resolution: 1280*720P ; 1920*1080P and 2048*1536. To maintain consistent frame rate of 15FPS I have to set the resolution to the lowest...

Thanks for your response. Just so I know what you mean-- You want me to put the camera in Night mode under the Day/Night Switch and then physically tap the camera? How hard? With my finger? I've tried to do this but I don't see any change. No IR lights. But maybe because it is not dark...

After rebooting my camera I find that I've lost infra-red capability. The infra-red ring does not illuminate and my image in darkness is totally black. I have not recently updated firmware or done anything else that I can think of that might have caused this. My firmware version is V5.1.6...

I have two Hikvision cameras. The newest one has firmware 5.2.3. The Line Crossing Detection only allows me to draw one line. Otherwise everything I want to do seems to work. The older camera has firmware 5.1.6. I am able to draw mutliple lines for Line Crossing Detection. I see there is...

Thanks. I'm sure this explains my problem. This weekend, when I get some free time, I will work on this and see if I can complete this project. Thank you very much for persevering with me through this.

I am tantalizingly closer but I still can't complete this task. I was able to copy the "davinci" file to the shared folder on my NAS. I then copied that to my desktop so I could work with it in HexEdit. The davinci file is indeed only 8 bytes. When I open it with HexEdit and try a hex string...

Thank you very much for your prompt response to my question. Based upon your response and my limited understanding of it I think I best not proceed. At least not until I've studied up a bit more about working in the Terminal environment. If I understand you correctly, simply typing "*cp...

With a little help, maybe... I am perhaps just 1 step above novice level and I'm wondering if this patch is something I can apply. I have the 5.1 version firmware. I am able to telnet into the camera and when I use the "mount" command I get the following: # mount rootfs on / type rootfs...
