    Stop Hacking Attempts

    I know this is an old topic and this may not work in your scenario. What if instead of a live stream you configured the NVR or cameras to upload JPGs a website. You could configure a script to show the most current JPG and thereby not have to have the NVR on the internet. The NVR could sit on...

    Security Notification- Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in Some Hikvision IP Cameras

    So i've read more about this and it appears that it simply enables port forwarding on the NVR as you would on any router. So if you're using it for occasional configuration and maintenance you could simply leave it off and enable when needed. Other than an annoying reboot to contend with...

    Security Notification- Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in Some Hikvision IP Cameras

    Yes. I was making that assumption. I wasn't intending to imply an issue with BI but less specifically the nature of having a system where there wasn't a box to plug the cameras directly into; leading many people to connect their cameras on their existing switches; thereby side-by-side with...

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    Well that' s not me. I have a couple of Linux systems under my purview but they are one of the systems I have the least experience with. Sounds like I need to contact the company and see if I can return these units. Thanks for the insight.

    Security Notification- Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in Some Hikvision IP Cameras

    I guess I was giving a bit too much credibility to the separation. But I do feel like that method you listed still relates to a weakness in the NVR as it requires root level access to the NVR to perform. For clarity I understand that having the NVR up to date would be important but without a...

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    The were delivered with CN. The menus are a side issue. I've setup enough I know the interface well enough to navigate and I can change the OSD (I think) well enough that wouldn't be an issue. My problem is my NVR won't recognize them. It says language mismatch. I've tried switching to ONVIF...

    Security Notification- Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in Some Hikvision IP Cameras

    I'm curious how you all are using these cameras that such a vulnerability matters. All of my cameras connect directly to my NVRs. Only the NVR is connected to rest of the network. It would seem that such an issue would be limited to devices that has direct access to the camera and I struggle to...

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    Has anyone seen this work on 5.5.12 or is it too far that it will not allow downgrade. I have quite a few CN 3145s that I would like to get operational rather than have to send back. I'm able to get them to download the EN & CN digicap.dav files but they seem to discard it after downloading as...

    NVR Lockups

    DS-7732NI-I4 / 16P1620170816CCRR81517****WCVU Does that help any? I've read about the letters in the middle of the SN having specific meaning. It seems to hold somewhat true as the one that I have that lists as non upgradeable has "CCRRC" whereas the ones that are upgradeable have "CCRR"...

    NVR Lockups

    There are some minor updates before the major re-write that is 4.x - maybe worth trying, as the problem seems repeatable : DOWNLOAD PORTAL Without leaning on your good will too much. I have one question about upgrading. MY IVMS 4200 client shows four of my 5 NVRs as upgradeable. When I...

    Analogue joystick control of Hikvision IP PTZ cameras

    When you mention using R485 you mean a wholesale swap to an analogue camera correct? or is there a method to get that serial based connection to work with the IP cameras?

    NVR Lockups

    Greetings, I have a deployment of 5 NVRs with about 100 cameras. Everything works great with one small exception. Video recording and playback all works without issue. When I configure image capture I start having problems. It works as intended for about 3 days then I will attempt to view...
