    Hikvision nvr dont work with cisco ip camera

    Well the obvious answer is that you're using the wrong credentials to connect. Does the camera have its own web confirmation page that you can access and confirm what credentials are used for onvif? Did you create an account specifically for onvif?

    Cannot reach Hikvision IP Cameras on Ubiquiti network - Any ideas?

    Sounds like you must have some inter vlan blocking turned on (which is good). But if you want to be able to access your cameras without having to change vlans on your laptop, you can just add a firewall rule to allow that traffic. Allow traffic from your default vlan (or whichever vlan your...

    layout design. POE switches and backbones

    The F stands for frame, not feed and they usually refer to telephony networks not IP networks but other than that the concept is the same. Have a central switch and have remote switches connected to it and have your cameras connected to your remote switches.

    Milesight cameras

    I came across a couple of second hand milesite 360 degree fisheye cameras for a good price (still a bit more than i could afford right now though). Fuck me they look really good. https://www.milesight.com/security/product/ai-fisheye

    layout design. POE switches and backbones

    100m is within the standard. Anything over that is not supported even though it may work. As for shielded cable, without knowing what this facility is, there may be a need for it regardless of cable length, but it's probably not going to help much with the 100m limit. If you need to have...

    Dahua NVR connecting to Hikvision Camera but not displaying image or recording.

    Is the camera connected to any other NVR or Nas etc? Something else pulling down the streams from the camera? I have a camera here that would connect fine on both my nvrs but would only display on one of them. It took me longer than it should have to figure out it was because the camera could...

    I Ordered an Axis Communications Axis Q1808-LE Camera

    I have a camera that will not hold its own time without a link to an NTP server of some sort. If I log into the camera webpage it automatically syncs the time to my computer but after that point it starts to drift until at some point it decides it's 1970. So if your camera is doing the same...

    360° outdoor for pole mount?

    You'll probably need to modify another vendor's mount. They're just a plate with screw clamps attached. All you need are holes on the plate to aligned with the holes on your camera.

    LaView NVR HDD Upgrade question

    What size drive were you planning to use in it? Just about any size should work unless you're going very large. Remember when a NVR manufacturer says the NVR supports up to XTB drive, that just means either that was the highest available at that time or they only tested up to that high. It...

    it's already a bad sign. There shouldn't be any packet loss. Maybe you didn't terminate properly.

    Official FULL SmartPSS Windows & Mac versions from Dahua with working P2P connections and without 64 camera limit...

    old SmartPSS (v2.003) cannot connect to Dahua NVR starting today, but SmartPSS lite can.

    i would hope not, but if you can determine the encryption used for the hashing it could potentially be unhashed.

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    You really do like to make things more difficult don't you? Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Is there anything else on that switch besides the camera network? If not just use as layer 2. Add the vlans to it, with your device ports as access mode on the camera vlan and your uplink...
