Sorry for the delay. I have a Synology NAS (or rather XPEnology NAS) but have not integrated it with the Hikvisions. I just use strictly Chinese firmware and have been discovering it's not limiting at all to use the Chinese interface (even though I don't read Chinese). I use a standalone PC...

And actually, answering my own thread - it looks like even with an all Chinese firmware (and all Chinese price) these cameras are almost fully controllable with the Batch Configuration Tool. HOW TO USE YOUR CHINESE CAMERA IN ENGLISH (using a PC as an NVR): 1. Download the iVMS-4200 v2.5.0.3...

And... answering my own question - this looks promising! http://forum.use-ip.co.uk/threads/tutorial-megathread-getting-started-with-your-hikvision-system.689/

Yes, I used the link. Actually #7 does have the 2345 (although I don't have a "B" or "C") and it updated great.

Fantastic. I upgraded the camera to V5.4.0 Build 160401 and the NTP and local time service started working correctly. One step in the right direction! Now to SSH into the camera - I've heard about a TFTP tool that allows (while the tool is running) SSH; does it work with this Chinese 4MP...

Perfect, that looks like exactly what I was looking for. I'll check that thread out, thanks!

While visiting in China two months ago I purchased this camera at ~$45. It's a 4MP Turret and only speaks Chinese. There are several annoying things that makes "Google Translate" operation challenging: 1. Although there is an option to change Timezones and NTP servers, it doesn't seem to...

I would like a catalog please, and I will send PM as well.
