    Time to upgrade my system

    Hi wittaj, thanks for that very detailed link - I think :confused: The information is amazing but for a novice such as myself it is "information overload". I read where beginners rush in and do upgrades, or so they think, but are missing the main point (getting useful information that one can...

    Time to upgrade my system

    Thats good news trempa92, thanks for the quick response. Tell me though - you said an acusense camera will work with my old NVR, but then qualified by saying that I don't need some of the options on NVR - what do you mean? Sorry but I am a novice in these things and would like the upgrades that...

    Time to upgrade my system

    I have a 2017 manufactured HIK NVR with 8 POE cameras, all 5mp that seem to work perfectly after some years ago I "lost" the camera password and they all shut down. Thanks to some very clever work by Alistair and a gentleman in Western Australia they got me going again and the system has been...

    Just another note of thanks to Alastair for his great work. With his help my son was able to "find" his forgotten password on HIK Vision cameras with a build v5.4.5 (after the upgrade in their security when the old back door method was made public) My son has a system with 16 cameras that were...

    I believe you are looking at an entirely different approach to recovery of the password than that described above, so cannot comment However Alistair or gdwasw will be able to put you straight. Good luck and may you soon be running again

    Failure has brought me here

    Hi all -just a note to say "Thanks to all who contributed to the solution" My particular appreciation to Alistair and dgwasw, both of who hung in till the end. Sorry, I swapped forums to the HIK Vision camera site without leaving any connection but the name of the new tread I came into was...

My heartfelt thanks go out to these two gents and anyone else who has contributed to the knowledge base which now sees my "post security upgrade" by HIK Vision CCTV system back on track, fully functional, nothing bricked and a now...

    Hmmmm……… well, I got the 8th camera back yesterday from my tech - not a happy man, said he "did not like my attitude" since I had put the hard word on him to return the camera after two failed delivery dates passed, I even offered to come to him and pick it up, all politely. I suspect he was...

    That's great guys, private message sent to dg. I have just spoken to my local tech who is pleased I may have some help to make the cameras work, said it was very easy to make "bricks" He is going to pick up the camera I loaned him from storage and return same over the next few days. And clearly...

    Hi Alistair and dgwasw. First thanks dg, and yes that is my camera in every respect, right down to the firmware. So where to from here? I note you are going to a remote location tomorrow -and possibly "off grid"? I shall contact my Tech here in Brisbane and let him know I am putting everything...

    dgwasw - that is a most generous offer from you, and I shall only use it as a last resort so as not to take advantage of your good self. The price of the cameras is probably about right, I purchased the two x 2.8mm on a separate order before things went "pear shaped", but add to that the cost of...

    Alistair - no problems, you are so much help to people, I don't know how you do it! A wee bit of background on my cameras and NVR: They were purchased for me "on line" over the internet from a company that showed a Sydney Australia Address so we wrongly assumed with a 7 day delivery anywhere in...

    Also, just read the link you gave to "lots of firmware choices here, only to find my cameras are not listed here unless I am going blind (a distinct possibility - awaiting eye surgery) Not trying to be difficult but perhaps you put the reply to the wrong thread? :)

    I am confused (again) You say these are mini- dome cameras? They are surely HIK Vision 5mp Turret cameras, not mini, not dome Then your edit adds that they are RO cameras - what does that mean please? Definitely has been no discussion about him getting / keeping the old cameras
