I have a large number of Hikvision cameras and also generic OEM versions of the same camera. They are identical in every way (minus the logo) except in one area that I've discovered...
No matter WHAT I do, I can't seem to get the Hikvision cameras to post a hostname to the network. The identical camera, same firmware even it seems, happily post a hostname.
Has anyone else bumped into this and found a workaround?
For reference, where I enter the hostname on the OEM cameras is: Network -> Basic Settings -> Domain Name Settings
If I enable that on an OEM camera, and provide a valid hostname, it comes through to my router that way. On an identical Hikvision brand camera, it doesn't.
I've verified this of several different model OEM vs matching Hikvision cameras, and the result is always the same. The OEM always passes the hostname, and the Hik version does not.
It isn't a dealbreaker or anything, just seems so odd. Has anyone found a solution?
Thanks!
