    Facial Recognition for Employee Attendance and Identifying Unauthorised People

    We have a Hikvision CCTV system composed of two NVRs (DS-96128N-I16 & DS-8664N-I8) and a number of different models of camera (can provide details if necessary), and using IVMS4200 for monitoring. I have been asked to look into identifying employees to take their attendance (currently scan...

    Using a VPN is much better. You should also close the ports you've already opened. You can find a guide for most routers here just close the port instead of opening it. There's often a button to click to delete the setting in the list of open ports. If you have ports forwarded for any other...

    Is it possible to access IP cameras on LAN from NVR with different POE subnet?

    Why not use a PoE switch? How is the switch connected in your network? is it connected to the NVR or does it reach the NVR through another switch? Why not change the camera to the 192.168.254.0 subnet?

    WARNING... Out to those who have upgraded to V4.1.61

    Don't most people have their NVR not connected to the internet? This shouldn't really be an issue.

    Hikvision DS-96128N-I16 English Language FW

    Yes I have Chinese firmware. I gave up on being able to change the language of the NVR but also managed to change the Chinese version of IVMS to English language. Now my Chinese has significantly improved and I'm able to read a little and use the NVR without many problems and have the English...

    Another Network and VPN Issue - Question

    Not sure what China has to do with anything... the internet is a global threat. Probably media-induced paranoia... But if you dislike China so much perhaps you shouldn't use Chinese products. Anyway... You've not been specific about what the problem with the VPN is. You can't connect at all or...

    What if I need another hardwired port?

    Actually you should have at least 3. One for power, one for LAN, one for ISP

    Your cameras should be isolated from the internet and only accessible from your LAN (through a VPN if desired)

    Securing a Lorex NVR

    Check again. Some routers (including TP Link models) have advanced configuration options separate from the basic/simple configuration. There might be a link in the menu to switch to advanced configuration which will enable additional options for many of the features

    Hikvision English language with Chinese hardware

    After learning how to use the Chinese language IVMS I discovered how to enable the English language on IVMS 4200. This allows you to configure the NVR with English language settings and can save some money on the hardware ;) Install English/Multi Language IVMS Copy the English (or other)...

    Securing a Lorex NVR

    Check the firewall settings on your router. If you cannot block it on there a dedicated firewall between the NVR and router will work

    IVMS language mismatch

    I previously posted regarding changing a Chinese NVR to English language and was told due to having Chinese cameras it would not be possible. I have now connected IVMS 4200 to the NVR to provide camera access to department heads, however I also have to use the Chinese version of this. The...
