    Quick review: Hikvision DS-7108N-SN

    I just upgraded my DS-7104N-SN/P to the firmware version on the China site, 3.0.20 build 161126. I upgraded through the GUI, worked flawlessly and the GUI is still in English. Encoding version is still 5.0 build 151229, is there any newer? UPDATE: I upgraded a DS-7108N-SN/P on another site and...

    PTZ control

    An update on the PTZ controls for the Mini PTZ and the Hikvision DS-7104N-SN/P (China version with multi-language firmware). Upgraded the firmware using (yes, hold your breath) the GUI. Went from version 3.0.13 150503 to 3.0.18 151231. PTZ controls are now working in the NVR GUI for the Mini...

    Speed Dome Failure Rate?

    Correct, I have yet to put the two in service. I upgraded the firmware in hops that they would start working on the Hikvision NVR PTZ controls but it's been futile so far.

    Indoor IP Camera (POE)

    Agreed, however some clients are not willing to pay $170 + markup for one single camera so I keep a low-end alternative for people with a limited budget. As I said in others posts I have installations based on Synshore and Cantonk which have run for over a year without issues. A 4 camera system...

    Indoor IP Camera (POE)

    I would also recommend the turret for the door. For my installations, based on the customers needs I either offer a mid-range or low end solution. The mid-range is composed of Hikvision right through, DS-2CD2342WD-I, DS-2CD2232-I5 and PoE NVR. The low-end is a mix of Synshore and Cantonk...

    Auto tracking ptz ip camera and MINI PTZ IP Camera V2 Update file 20161017

    I received three files, two of which had the same patch in them. The checksum was the same from what I could see, a simple lsmod in the telnet session revealed a driver loaded "an41908". This is a Panasonic Lens Driver IC - AN41908A, since this was also included in the filename of the bin file I...

    Auto tracking ptz ip camera and MINI PTZ IP Camera V2 Update file 20161017

    UPDATE 22 Nov 2016 I flashed a firmware file provided by members of this forum, the result was a success in restoring the PTZ motion. The firmware file is only 8KB leading me to believe this is only a minor fix, perhaps a few parameters. Regardless the fix worked. I've attached the firmware...

    Mini PTZ V2 PTZ controls inverted after FW upgrade

    Yes I would love to correct this problem, I'm running IPNC S2l2.0.1_build 20161012152123 and it's now inverted after upgrade.

    PTZ control

    I am thinking the cameras no longer support Hikvision NVR. As you can see on the picture below I have it setup correct but still get "Operation failed or no permission". This is channel D04.

    Cantonk shootout

    Ok guys I ordered 4 of the latest mid-range Cantonk IP cameras. I wanted to check quality, inside and outside. Possible point of failures and of course image quality. These were the ones ordered and that I now have in my possession, KIP-200SL20H (IMX323, HI3516C) KIP-400SL20H (OV4689...

    Indoor IP Camera (POE)

    I bought 4 FI9853EP, these are total junk, image quality is complete garbage. Firmware was updated to latest with no improvement. I took apart the cameras and had to clean the sensor, the IR glass and the lenses. My cameras had dirt on the INSIDE of the all these parts, a fine misty looking...

    Auto tracking ptz ip camera and MINI PTZ IP Camera V2 Update file 20161017

    Ok I just updated my Mini PTZ with this firmware. After flashing the first file the camera image was really bad and zooming did not work. I flashed the updated kernel and now the image is back normal and clear, however the PTZ controls are inverted and the PTZ does not seems to reset after power...
