    hikvisions sending test email but not sending trigger emails.

    I rebooted the devices thru the web interface this morning as they seem to be sending again, so it does look like it was the cam's and not the provider. Anyway, thought i'd share.

    hikvisions sending test email but not sending trigger emails.

    Yes they do try and sell their own security system, and wondering if they're blocking. Either outbound or on the inbound. I may try using a new email address. Thing is the outbounds have to come from here, as the network is theirs, so if they're blocking the outbounds, then i may be stuck !

    hikvisions sending test email but not sending trigger emails.

    Everything has been working great on my two DS-2CD2132F-IS hikvision cams, then recently one of my camera's stopped sending email, and shortly afterwards the other one did. Both are up and running when i log into them directly and i am able to view live footage and read off the SD card. I...

    DDNS setup ? Remote viewing questions ?

    I like the idea of this... What's the best way to do this? Export the config, (so you can revert if you ever need to make changes later on) then create the lower level account, and then delete the admin ?

    Opinions - want to replace Foscams with Hikvision

    Yes buy hardware that has known vulnerabilities, BUT NEVER EVER upgrade the firmware. :rolleyes: Speaks volumes.

    iVMS4500 HD doesn't work. Error Code: 44

    Hardware great !! Software, not so great... Shouldn't include software that simply does not work... Then leave users frustrated. Gives the company a bad rap. Region incompatibility is something that shouldn't exist. Shows incompetence within.

    Yes spend the extra and do not get the Chinese camera's with the English language.

    iVMS4500 HD doesn't work. Error Code: 44

    Another problem today. The software for these hikvisions are really about as unreliable as you can get ! Anyway, on today's menu, I have iVMS4500 HD (which is the iPad version) that doesn't work... I know the camera's are up, (when they decide too ! cos 10% of the time, the web interface...

    Exposing to the internet.

    Unfortunately I am unable to setup a VPN at my router, as I have a Comcast Arris TG862G/CT cable / telephony / wifi all in one unit, provided by comcast, cos i also have their phone service... So i'm limited to what i can do with it... It only gives me a few basic options. TBH my webcams are...

    Exposing to the internet.

    Many games, and all gaming consoles poke holes thru your firewall to allow incoming access for online gaming. Admittedly now i'm a hikvision owner, i can say that the software is not as well written and at least on the face of it, i do not trust trying to update its firmware, without praying...

    DDNS setup ? Remote viewing questions ?

    It's really not happening for me... Firstly, the DDNS configuration of the cam itself, doesn't allow me to enter in any credentials. As you can see from the screenshot below, they're greyed out.... And secondly, the us.hik-vision.com doesn't allow me to enter in my IP cams as devices...

    EZVIZ Does it not work ?

    My problem is that its as if my serial numbers are not valid. Try and add them, either via QR or manually entering the number and it comes back with device not active. I've got them working using iVMS-4500, just using port forwarding and pretending my leased ISP is static, as my ddns...

    Exposing to the internet.

    I hear the 'its bad practice' to expose our camera's to the internet frequently. But what makes HIKVISIONS so much more vulnerable ? What about the 50million XBOX's and Playstations out there? (most likely via uPnP) They also need exposing to the internet. Or any of the millions upon...

    Emailing photo's.... Better configuration options?

    Hi, I've setup a dedicated gmail email account, and setup the EMail tab successfully. I've added the include attachment and it does email me every time either of my DS-2CD2132F-IS's detect movement... It sends me three pictures... After playing around with the intervals from 2S, 4S and 5S...
