Camera lens change and no pictures ever stored
All, Two questions on two very different subjects. Lens change: I have searched this forum and found many threads about this subject but I cannot find a final statement about whether or not a new lens should incorporate an IR filter. Should it or should it not? My thought is that having an IR... -

Thanks alastair. I will check your assumptions and detailed procedure and adjust as necessary. -

NAS question
I have not pinged the cameras, but I can remotely see their video streams from the outside (via OpenVPN). So it seems the NVR is passing their data to the router and beyond. I can also login directly to the cameras using their NVR-assigned addresses (192.168.1.x:6500y) I'll try pinging the... -

NAS question
I'm trying to get my Hikvision cameras (attached to a NVR, itself attached to an ASUS router) to store their footage on a NAS hard disk attached to an ASUS AC-RT68U router. The cameras are asking for a server address and a file path. See image below for the fields and what I entered. I believe... -

Strange NVR behavior
To recap: in multiple screen mode on a TV, "NO LINK" is displayed for the camera plugged in POE port 7: - Double clicking on "NO LINK" puts "NO LINK" full screen, - Yet selecting "Single Screen" and then camera 7 places its video full screen, - There is evidence both streams arrive at the NVR... -

Strange NVR behavior
So, I updated camera D7 to firmware 5.5.61 (the most recent version on the Hikvision US web site). I did not yet update the other two EasyIP 3.0 Cameras. The problems is still there: no substream displayed on the TV for the D7 camera. Something is still not right: when I adjust image parameters... -

Strange NVR behavior
Three cameras are DS-2CD2335FWD-I and they all have firmware 5.5.51, so not clear why two substreams show up on TV and one does not . . . I will look at updating to 5.5.82 on all three and will report results -S -

Access IP cameras from WAN
So, per the many recommendations, I setup a DDNS with asuscomm.com. Works great. I may also want to experiment with changing the server port to numbers other than 1194 to become less visible to port scanners. I get scanned regularly by a UK web site (185.200.118.69:XXXXX -the port varies-) every... -

Strange NVR behavior
Thanks fredkruger and fenderman for your responses. To fredkruger: I believe NVR firmware (V3.4.98) is the latest available for this NVR (was recently pointed to me by AlastairStevenson). If you know of a later version, let me know. To fenderman: Substream settings of the new camera are... -

Strange NVR behavior
I just added a new Hikvision turret camera on my NVR (DS-7608NI-E2/8P, V3.4.98 build 171121). In the TV output, the camera's video displays fine in the single screen mode, but **DOES NOT** display in any of the multiple screen modes. In these modes, all I get is the “NO LINK”message where the... -

Access IP cameras from WAN
Tradertim: SUCCESS. Your suggestion to running a port scan with Fing was a brilliant idea. Why? Because it gave me the IPv4 of the NVR and when I pinged it remotely, it responded (though not sure why the router's WAN address did not respond to ping) I now have OpenVPN fully running and NO ports... -

Access IP cameras from WAN
Thanks tradertim. In response to your feedback: >>You should not be able to connect to your camera NVR without firstly invoking openvpn client to vpn to the ASUS modem. My post describes a situation that occurs AFTER executing the OpenVPN client. What I don't understand is why I can't ping... -

Access IP cameras from WAN
So, I did get an ASUS RT-AC68U modem and setup the OpenVPN server. I then copied the client and certification files on a remote computer and executed the OpenVPN client. The client status showed: - [RT-AC68U] Peer Connection Initiated with [AF_INET] 97.90.x.x:1194 - Initialization Sequence... -

Thanks. I am also planning to change my current router to a new one that includes a VPN server to mitigate the internet exposure. -S -

NVR: Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P NVR (FW V3.4.92 build 170518). All attached cameras are also Hikvision. After recently upgrading the NVR FW to V3.4.92, I can no longer login to the cameras via WAN (I can via LAN), even though virtual host is enabled. Typing <NVR_WAN_IP_address>:6500X no longer... -

HTTPS certificate
I am trying (unsuccessfully so far) to implement a HTTPS certificate in my NVR, model DS-7608NI-E2 / 8P with FW version 3.3.6. I have read several posts on this forum, including one by rommycam describing the steps needed for that implementation, but his approach does not work for me. Unlike... -

iPhone monitoring stopped after router flashing
I did solve the problem, though not sure why. Here it goes: - On a Win10 PC and Firefox, I have to use the HTTP port address (82). No other address will work (such as HTTPS, Server, or RTSP ports) - On an iPhone, I have to use the Server port address (8000) Anyone knows why? -S -

iPhone monitoring stopped after router flashing
Thanks toysareforboys. But it looks like my problem is one of username and/or password not being recognized only (and strangely) when I am on the iPhone. Would the DMZ mode help in this case? -S -

iPhone monitoring stopped after router flashing
I recently flashed my home router with new firmware, then did my standard port-forward (82 and 8000) to allow me external monitoring of my Hikvision NVR (I am looking at a VPN later, but that’s another story). After port forwarding, I received new IP addresses from my ISP and I can (again)... -

Where to get DS-2CD2332-I?
Try HD Security Store as they still show it in their web site. I got most of my stuff from them (four DS-2CD2332-I) and I have been VERY happy with them. http://www.hdsecuritystore.com/category.php?id_category=40 (7th from the top) -S -

Web Browser can just access SubStream from NVR
Manni, When you say "via direct IP", do you mean from a location outside your home using Internet? If so, what is your uplink cap? I ask because your NVR will use that uplink bandwidth to stream data outside your house. In my case, I can barely view one camera's maim stream and if I let all my... -

Web Browser can just access SubStream from NVR
I have a Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P and here is what I do when I live view from a Firefox web browser: hover the mouse to the area that lists all the cameras (see image). For each camera, a popup window allows you to select either Main Stream of Sub Stream. Select the stream you like then press... -

If by "blurry" you mean the ghosting on the person on your photo, try raising your fps to 30 and setting iFrame to 15, or half the fps (as recommended by PSPCommOp.) -S -

Help 3MP Turret
FWIW, my 3M cameras came with admin/12345 as the default user/PW. The 4MP automatically assumed the NVR's password. Granted that the camera PW was setup after connection to the NVR. Not sure what it was before connection to the NVR. Admin was also the default username. If you can't log in the... -

DS-2CD2342WD-I Image quality issues? Geovision/Firmware questions.
I chose 8fps simply to limit the data volume going to the hard disks. Plus, I do not need the smooth motion that is provided by 20fps; 8fps is a bit jumpy, but is sufficient for my needs. I have since reduced my max bit rate to 4096 Kbps and have not seen any changes at all. Finally, I agree... -

Need help to choose camera
The I5 cameras have IR illuminators that can reach up to 50 m (~150 feet), otherwise it is 30 m (~90 feet) for the 2342. So it depends on your application. I have both the 2232-I5 and the 2342 as I use them for different applications. In one area of my house, I have two 2332 looking at the same... -

Need help to choose camera
It's the opposite at my house: turrets are like hemispheres against eaves and walls, hard to knock off. My bullet is a cylinder off the wall surface, easy to catch and vandalize. But this is all moot as Jack B Nimble pointed out: a scarf and spray will do the job no matter what type of cam is...
