    Hikvision and Remotely Switching Relay

    I'm not sure. I thought that bell-like button is to arm/ de-arm the alarm settings for the camera. Not 100% sure though how this works coz I've not really played with this alarm stuff. I've already ordered 2 pieces of that relay you posted. For 1.58 usd each (shipped) it is cheap enough to try...

    Adding Pan/Tilt Device to Hik 2032

    Thanks for this Mel. I appreciate it. Zoom for my possible set up is not actually a requirement. So a cheapo PT is adequate. Will just wait for the Chinese holiday to finish and see if this one is doable for my case. Will post more questions once I get into it. Thanks again.

    Hikvision on Ebay

    Thanks. I might also hold off until we get clearer answer from the seller. Might also send them an inquiry just like what you did. Pls, keep us posted. Thanks

    Adding Pan/Tilt Device to Hik 2032

    Thanks, man. I appreciate it specially that I might have a place where only a PT can adequately cover. Can you point me to the specific camera you used coz the ones I'm seeing right now costs roughly 250 bucks and those I think are the ones with P iris, wifi etc which I don't need. And also to...

    Adding Pan/Tilt Device to Hik 2032

    @Mel42: Bro, can you post links on these items since I'm honestly I'm not familiar yet with these stuff. At least the actual lens and enclosure you used for your particular camera. And if you don't mind posting a pic of your set up once you take it down that would be great. A video maybe of you...

    Hikvision on Ebay

    @scotd9000 or anybody else: did you order from this seller? How was it so far? I also don't mind chinese firmware and willing to wait out the chinese new year holidays as long as the cams are eventually shipped. I'm looking to get 2 more cubes.

    Hikvision on Ebay

    Yup, fact is I wasn't immune to that also. It took me a couple of weeks reading this forum and other related websites, couple of consult to a local friend here who knows ip cams, and a set of back and forth with our IT department added on top of a short afternoon when they had to visit my home...

    Hikvision on Ebay

    I understand that this has already been answered by Fenderman quite clearly but I just like to echo his points: I'm quite happy that I went with the Zyxel managed switches mainly because of the nature of work I'm in that I deal with gigabits of company/patient related sensitive data at home that...

    Anyone recently purchased cameras from CCTV CAMERA CHINA

    OP, S474N is correct. I made the same mistake when I first got my cams from Julia and sadp refused to recognize 2 cams at the same time. Then I remembered they all come with the same default IP address that results to ip conflict if two got connected at the same time. It's also best to use a...

    UART connection to recover Hik cameras

    Thanks for this. It's not that I have a bricked cam or something. It's just that I have this pigtail and uart lying around (arduino and rasp pi projects) somewhere and curiosity-the-cat bit me. I wonder what will I see inside and maybe learn the ropes of unbricking Hiks once I get bored enough...

    Hikvision and Remotely Switching Relay

    Got it. Though obviously i'm no EE expert since i can't distinguish between a built-in relay and an active low output signal. :sad2: Anyway, atleast i think I got the wiring scheme thanks to your description but since I'm using an active poe switch to power the cam I guess i need to tinker a bit...

    UART connection to recover Hik cameras

    Thanks for this, man. How did you connect the rx and tx leads to the UART? Is it rx-to-rx, tx-to-tx OR rx-to-tx, tx-to-rx? Thanks.
