    How to hook up audio to headset mic - Hikvision ?

    My model is DS-2CD3145F-IS 2.8mm At the time I bought it I did not know there was a gray market and just bought it on Amazon. After a while I read up on it and saw that it was a Chinese model converted to English and upgrades were not possible. It was being broken into by hackers, so I removed...

    How to hook up audio to headset mic - Hikvision ?

    I have an older gray market Hikvision that it appears cant be upgraded. I wanted to test the concept of hooking a mic from headset up to it to record videos. Really I'm just messing about and wanted to see if I could do it. I have looked at several web sites but am generally confused. Not sure...

    What are blank spaces in the time line ??

    Thanks . So since you dont use combine or clip, that means you have physically many small video files on your hard disk?

    What are blank spaces in the time line ??

    Thank you for your answer. Let me see if I understand you?? Its not easy. What you seem to be saying is that if you have the cut time set to 8 hours, then there will be an 8 hour coloured bar, so long as there was at least one triggered motion. (set to motion detect). However that does not...

    What are blank spaces in the time line ??

    When I look at the time line sometimes there is a coloured lines and other times blank spaces. Note the picture below . There is a space between the pink and blue bars (which represent cameras) But there is also no blue above pink and no pink bar below blue. Other times the colours do show up...

    Dont completely understand what timeline is indicating on BI

    But of course you can save the video out of the 4 Gig file into something much smaller. And you pretty much have to if you save it as a .bvr. You would want to save it as a more friendly format. eg AVI, mpg what ever. Im sure you know this. :) Regards

    OpenVPN Server or Client

    Well I just kinda gave up and bought an ASUS Router. I bought a RT-AC66B1. I have to say that it was fairly easy to set up. Others may rag on me but I found the DDWRT Openvpn confusing, and not that easy to set up, certainly for a novice VPNner. And I have installed DDWRT on several routers...

    Dont completely understand what timeline is indicating on BI

    Thank you for your response and answer. I wonder why this is done like this however? Is it done to save CPU resource? Maybe the BI opens a file for recording and keeps it open, waiting for data. (Big catchers Mit). Then at the configured time closes the file. This saves the process of opening...

    EZVIZ does not work with VPN

    Thank you for your response. And test. Interesting what you are staying. I'm unclear what my ISP's modem supports. I'm also a bit frightened to change many of its settings, although I have changed some. I do use it for some devices. I also know that my isp is not knowledgeable on their router...

    EZVIZ does not work with VPN

    Not sure if this is a networking/ASUS quesion or Hikvision question. Its really both probably. I have a number of problems with the EZVIZ app on my Samsung tablet A. I do not have an account with Hikvision, I just use it by connecting to the network and searching for the Hikvision camera. This...

    Dont completely understand what timeline is indicating on BI

    I have never really understood the time line in the bottom of the main screen of BI. This is the part that is below the Main picture, below the line that has the Date and hour. eg Ok what don't I understand? I get the aspect that the little walking man indicates that there was motion at this...
