Hi all I have a DS-2CD2387G2 ColourView and and DS-2CD2385G1 Darkfighter - both are 8MB 4K and Ive come accross situations recently where I could have done with longer recording than offered on the 128MB Internal Card (on the g1) I think its only a few days worth of continous recording...

Thanks for the massive post! Ive been thinking they also have some cameras on sims (only one or two) and are using a p2p app to view those as its not a fixed IP sim Ive also been looking at cloud storage / images like the angelcam too as a consideration yeh the work environment is very secure...

Well its in an enterprise environment but other than connecting to the cameras individually they are not on the internal network so to speak They are on the public internet and we just access via their fixed public Ip for viewing when needed As you can imagine as the users that have been...

Thanks...it's just giving them something to try...they are starting to put in 4k type cameras in but don't realise that.....the broadband will ideally need to be better and in some of these places it's very unlikely....do you need a high spec windows machine for it to run on?

Hi guys I posting here for work colleagues really - we have a number of remote cameras IP cams of various makes and manufacturers The problem is the work environment is restrictive so we are unable to install the various plugins that maybe required for the various cameras we have So its a bit...

Its only a home environment so Im not TOO concerned - I may go back to trying samba later and try the v1 thing - but Im pretty sure Ive never specified that in the past But could be an ubuntu things thats dropped off too I suppose I assume samba V1 is less secure in some way too?? It bugs me...

I have given up on samba...I was using Ubuntu server 18.04 now on 20.04 I think I tried the ntlm auth v1 permitted but that made no difference....now thinking that you maybe right about the samba version....I think that's the only thing I haven't tried to be honest Anyway tried NFS this...

Hi all Im having terrible trouble getting samba to work on my hikvision camera - DS-2CD2385G1-I Ive upgraded my Ubuntu server to the latest LTS version and the samba seems to be set up correctly on the box - I can connect via Windows to the share no problem at all Ive set up a partition of...

Hi all Ive just been playing setting up this camera again so I can view the picture on the Nvidia Shield All working fine (1 older hikvision and this new hik) but on the highest resolution setting - well anything other that 1080p (in the camera settings) the video really stutters and you can...

Hi all - after reading about vulnerabilities of IP cameras recently I was just wondering how you guys view the HikConnect software (ie for android) I have no access to my cameras through open ports - all I use at present is HikConnect and I assume it must be using Upnp to get out Im not sure...

Hi all Ive put the above camera in today (its an older camera I had lying around) however when adjusting it the locking screw has snapped - Cant get the screw it out at the moment - its seized up The camera is in position however it looks like its going to fallout of the mounting to be honest...

We have tried that and it says sucess but again just going around in circle really Tried changing from chinese to english by modifying firmware - just to see if that would make any difference as we have tried the default included in the package and again nothing - presently wating for ip to...
