ok, so I'll answer my own question. There are G3 and G5 versions of this camera. I bought a second one of these cameras, and it was manufactured in July 2022 and is a G5 version, so the transition from G3 to G5 takes place either in June 2022 or July 2022. G3 version have SN starting with...

So it appears that this camera may come in a G3 and G5 version without submodel differentiation. The US Hikvision website indicates that there is a G3 and a G5 firmware for this camera. I just picked up a used one with a build date of May 2022, and it will only accept the G3 version. The...

Yeah, after I switched from using my Mac to using my ASUS router (Linux) as an SMB server, its been smooth sailing. I've been able to mount any size volume I want, but so far, I think the largest volume I've tried is 512 GB.

The test file is not a directory, at least in my experience. For your screen shot of the HDD Management page, are you referring to HDD No. 9 being 109 GB vs the 49 GB indicated in the terminal window?

Well, its 2020, trying to use the MacOS built-in SMB server for Hikvision cameras is no easier. There is an option to enable SMB1 on the MacOS High Sierra built-in SMB server: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204021 There is at least one person who appears to have been able to force SMB2...

Its on the LAN. I have plenty of slots available on the account being used on the FTP server. To help try to narrow down the issue, I just switched the two misbehaving cameras over to another FTP server that I just set up.

I was wrong about switching to SFTP fixing the issue. The camera still stops sending images after about 8 am, and then doesn't resume until later in the day. The outage seems to vary depending on the day of the week, but I have checked and reset the image record schedule several times. I...

So I solved the issue with one camera by switching to SFTP. However, the other camera has an older firmware that does not yet offer SFTP capability, and yet ironically, it is a newer generation camera.

I've got three Hikvision cameras, all different models, in use. One reliably uploads images during all times of the day, but the other two are not uploading images from mid-morning to mid-afternoon. I've gone through all the settings a bunch of time and verified that the FTP settings are...

The issue is the TLS version used by the cameras. Some of the newer firmwares now have the required TLS version.

The DS-2CD2385FWD-I is obsolete, and the DS-2CD2383G0-l will be obsolete soon as well. In fact, it already is obsolete in the sense that two-generation newer Hikvision cameras are available on the international market. I've got three cameras in use right now: DS-2CD2T35FWD-I5 (3 MP bullet...

Hey Folks, I understand the basics of the intrusion detection algorithm, but one aspect that I'm not sure about is the acceptable size range of the actual intrusion zone window. Based on my understanding of the Intrusion Detection algorithm, it would seem that the intrusion zone window size...

Got some more testing time with the 86G2. One odd issue I found is that Intrusion Detection doesn't work well at 15 fps with 4K resolution. At 12, 16, 18, and 20 fps, the 86G2 readily captures entry into the box, but at 15 fps, I can walk right through without triggering. I tried all frame...

I've now got my hands on a US-spec DS-2CD2146G1-IS and a UK-spec DS-2CD2T86G2-2I. These are obvious different form factor cameras, but I think its still worth comparing because both are Acusense cameras. The DS-2CD2146G1-IS is one generation older than the DS-2CD2T86G2-2I, but the...
