    Best Safest way to upload & view images

    Yeah well google isn't helping :(. After hours & hours of searching & reading I can't seem to find any user friendly info that explains all these options/concepts in relation to cameras. Seems email & FTP are only way to upload images remotely/offsite, but surely that's not right you'd think...

    Best Safest way to upload & view images

    Thanks. Internet connection is not amazing but currently doing the job, plenty of data but upload is 5Mb, so I can & will probably need to increase this the more cameras I get. I can currently live stream 2 cameras via net & I'll get more as time goes by. I'd prefer a secure way to upload...

    Best Safest way to upload & view images

    Couldn't find info for this so.... SNMP/SNMPv3, FTP, Email, HTTPS, QoS, Wi-Fi; I'm currently using email via TLS encryption to upload images but am wanting to look at other online options as later on I'll have more cameras. I'd rather have something bit more user-friendly when viewing any...

    Well seems lowering the Input Volume down from 100 made this issue much better.

    Trouble with two way audio on Hikvision 2432 camera

    I have a 2CD2442FWD & two-way radio works however, the sound quality is bad & sometimes get squawking on the device. I haven't tried different sound options yet but wondering what could cause this? I can hear audio just fine but when I switch to two-way it goes crazy. Current audio setting is...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Ok so got it working....somehow. Posting below for others in same boat. Latest round of things I did that possibly helped get whole thing to work; 1. Closed all browsers & cleared cache. I've seen this cause a problem before when making router changes. 2. Setup PPTP on router & created PPTP VPN...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    So I've spent the last day+ & getting nowhere, OpenVPN Connect does not connect & does not have any log files, it just continually sits there loading trying to connect. Following are steps/things I've tried; Running RT-AC3200 ASUS router with Merlin, which is sitting behind & bridged with a...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Have read all 25 pages :highfive:.... great info. Just few questions; 1. How much data does doing this use & is it data used on server/client side or both? 2. What would be bare minimum speed required? My home/server internet connection is 25Mbs down, 5Mbs up. 3. How long should VPN client...

    Do i really need an NVR?

    So I've finally bought some cameras & waiting for them to be delivered.... Can you access IP cameras still via VPN, my router supports VPN server&client, & not port forwarding if there's no NVR, &/or does NVR/NVRPC just make this easier/harder? Thanks. EDIT: still in process of buying PoE...

    Buying From AliExpress

    I'm looking at buy some Dahua cameras & having hard time finding a local Australian supplier. How's the software support if I buy from overseas ie AE ? ie do they have same issue as hikvision with grey imports. Thanks.

    Cloud-based solution without hardware lock-in

    Same boat here. Despite posting here awhile back about getting some cameras, still haven't gone ahead & bit the bullet. Simply because of required hardware/software set up some of the systems need, lack of support/information, but mostly reservations & lack of confidence on making right decision...

    Backdoor found in Hikvision cameras

    In such situation, would having an NVR vs Windows PC running IP cameras be better/worse? Assuming same set up ie VPN or lack thereof, all networked. EDIT: "Also recognize that VPN is only as secure as the connected devices" ^^Does this mean that if an IP camera is compromised on a network &...

    Building new system ?

    Hey thanks for reply :). Yeah read VPN by Nayr already & think I'll go ahead & make custom PC eventually to run this, using my own PC in the interim. On a side note: Any idea where would I post login problems? There doesn't seem to be a General discussion. When I go to log in, logging in via...

    Hikvision Firmware Upgrade Problems or Not?

    Yeah fair enough. This day & age region locking really is pointless, anti-competitive & anti-productive. And businesses then wonder why consumers look elsewhere. Once you get a reply back from Hikvision would you mind please posting their response?

    Hikvision Firmware Upgrade Problems or Not?

    From where/who? I'm in process of doing same thing & don't wish to get caught out. Doesn't appear to be many resellers in Australia & from what I've read some resell Chinese imports. So name & shame.

    Hikvision Product Comparison

    Is there any plans to update this? ie DS-2CD2442FWD-IW. Is there info anywhere that explains these codes? ie FWD IW. I presume they stand for something but what.
