I don’t use Hik Connect… my traffic is local only (or at least local via VPN). I do use iVMS-4500 on my iPhone, and it gets the job done. What I haven’t been able to find is a true iPad version… is there one? It would be nice to use the bigger screen sometimes. Yes, technically I can double...

Yup, like I said, I’m in the process of slowly upgrading those Reo cameras, but for now, they’re there, and getting the job done moderately adequately, so I’ll upgrade them here and there as funds and mood suites. :) Since the camera I care about most is A HikVision, I think I’m leaning towards...

Hey all! I have a white box gray market “HikVision” DS-7604NI-K1/4P NVR I picked up on Amazon a few years back (common story I’m sure). It’s been working tolerably well in my small setup, but I need an extra channel or two now, as this one is maxed out at 4 channels. Since I’ve had a relatively...

Thank you, everyone! I need to get my main camera install finished (been too swamped at work, so no energy left for mucking about in the attic) first, but once it's in I'll begin the negotiations with the wife to add a couple more. :) Once more cameras are in hand, then it'll be an easier...

Thanks! I'll keep this info handy, as a known-good seller is definitely invaluable. It looks like they only carry the POE versions of the 7800 series NVRs, though, unless I'm missing something. :/ Is it just the cameras that were bad from CSST? Alastair mentioned them as being pretty good in...

Do you by chance have a link? Google wasn't helpful and I don't see a way to select a seller on AliExpress... I was just using the links Alastair provided initially.

Can anyone confirm that this model: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/DS-7808N-E2/1021839_2042371222.html ... the HikVision DS-7808N-E2? I can't see the complete model number anywhere in the rather spectacularly bad English of the ad's text. Great price at $111, though (plus $40...

LOL I hear ya, guys, sounds like I'll need to be wary of MCS (multiple camera syndrome), the symptoms of which I am familiar with from other hobbies. ;) Fortunately for my credit card, I'm strongly against any camera monitoring the interior of my house, so the current front camera (which covers...

Hi! I'm new to IP Cam Talk and IP cams in general, but quite well versed in networking in general. I just bought a HikVision DS-2CD2532F-IS for my first camera, to cover the front door, and I'm quite pleased with the quality I'm seeing while testing it out. I hope to run the final wiring this...
