The following curl command should work. 1 = channel, in case of multi-channel device 2 = preset number curl http://cam_ip/ISAPI/PTZCtrl/channels/1/presets/2/goto -u user:pass --anyauth -X PUT

This is actually because of the Unix time that starts from 1-1-1970. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

For photo printing, the quality of IP cameras might not be enough, even if the resolution is high the image quality might not be what you (or the guests) expect. A system with a DSLR camera taking the image and automatically transferring it to a PC that uploads it to a server (unless the PC is...

To who bought it, and who ever else might have this issue: The camera PTZ might not work properly with most VMS's that control the PTZ over ONVIF with a certain firmware. Web UI controls work fine. Symptoms: The camera accelerates to so fast speeds when trying to pan/tilt it that it is...

I had troubles logging in after the upgrade. I cleared caches and tried restarting the browser, tried from both login buttons, both let me enter the login and password, but after hitting "Login", just returned me back to the same page i was on, without actually logging in, without giving any...

P2P in this case probably means you would need an external server that handles the connection forwarding, that can be accessed by both camera and client. A short pseudo-example of how i would imagine it has to work: - Camera will be connecting to the proxy server to open the connection (since...

This is somewhat confusing too, why does the NVR not reply to ping, but forwards traffic correctly router behind it that does reply? Maybe the router cannot NAT the traffic properly for internet connectivity to work. And so there is no way back to the PC behind NVR.

Remember to take notes on the responses you get from ping, these can help. "Reply timed out." differs greatly from "Destination host unreachable."

I was not familiar with the "Virtual Host" this NVR offers and was definitely not expecting it to actually enable IP forwarding. Thank you for explaning this! Do you know how the system manages returning traffic? Does the gateway need a static route from WAN -> NVR PoE IP to know where to...

Unless your NVR can route, this will not work. The way the packets would now travel (with the above setup) (Camera 192.168.254.2) -> (NVR PoE IP 192.168.254.1) -> Stops here You would have to create a static route on the NVR to pass all traffic from NVR PoE IP interface to Network Gateway IP...

Would a stream via RTSP on VLC be possible solution? Do you only need the stream in full screen and the whole screen is then transferred to the TV? To get the stream, open stream from rtsp://camera_ip:554/axis-media/media.amp and you should get the main stream. It will ask for credentials every...

Make sure you're using the correct port. Most cameras default their ONVIF to port 80, but I have come up with some unnamed cameras with port 8899 by default. Also make sure you have your pc and camera times synced, some cameras require you to have it synced up for the login to work. I believe...

Status "Not exist" seems as if the disk is configured but does not exist. Check that the disk is properly connected. If you can run diagnostics on the disk, check for any SMART errors. If your DVR/NVR cannot show any SMART information, you might need to connect the disk to a PC and use a...

H.265 is a new compression codec, and most cameras still support H.264 as well. It should be possible to change the compression codec from the camera, unless this is a special model that only supports H.265 (highly unlikely). If there is no way to change it to H.264, then it will not be able to...

We have used similiar product ( http://www.metricu.com/Products.php?cid=11&id=89 ) and it makes IP camera installations a lot easier. There are some problems with some camera models, and since most camera web-pages require some plugins, they are unusable via browser. There is a ONVIF Device...
