    Email notifications not working for 1/3 cams

    IVMS can send test emails as well using the same server settings. It is just the one camera that isn't responding.... =(

    Email notifications not working for 1/3 cams

    I did not touch the preferred or alternate DNS but they also aren't set in my other cams which are working correctly. Default preferred DNS says 8.8.8.8 on all 3 cameras.

    Email notifications not working for 1/3 cams

    So I have 3 Hikvision cams, 1x2532 and 2x2332, which are setup to send me emails when Intrusion Detection detects an intruder. The 2532 cam and one of the 2332 cams are working perfectly however the 2nd 2332 cam will not send emails. When I try to send a test email the browser just says testing...

    Painting DS-2CD3332-I black? Suggestions

    I am curious how you were measuring the temperature of the camera. Case temp? And did you have a white one side by side for comparison? Thanks!

    Whats a good POE 8 port 1gb switch for hikvision cams?

    Here is another but you also lose one port for the LAN connection. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BPYOSOE/ref=pd_aw_sims_2?pi=SS115&simLd=1

    what would be the difference between these 2 cameras??

    Well then. I assumed they would. There must be a way to know what field of view the lens is set at.

    what would be the difference between these 2 cameras??

    You would buy a fixed lens at the field of view that you set the varifocal to. You can see on the lens what it is set to.

    what would be the difference between these 2 cameras??

    Install camera, adjust focus, look at camera image, adjust focus, look at camera image, etc until you have the field of view that works best.

    Painting DS-2CD3332-I black? Suggestions

    While plastidip makes it easier to coat it would be terrible for thermal dissipation. The camera uses the chassis as a heatsink so plastidip will act as insulation....If you are going to do it use paint. Black and white paint effectively have the same emissivity however black paint has a...

    How to improve image quality at night while in day mode?

    Thanks guys. The cam is about 9ft from the ground, right under the eave of my garage. I don't want it mounted on the brick of the house so that is as low as it can be mounted. That cam, being a 2.8mm lens is really there to give more of an overview of the driveway and yard so not being able to...

    How to improve image quality at night while in day mode?

    I am looking for some tips on improving the clarity of my outdoor 2332 turret cams at night time. The exterior of my house is illuminated well enough to leave the cameras in day mode however the image is very noisey at night. I cannot make out faces or license plates even if they are 5ft from...

    Difference between motion detection and intrusion detection?

    I have been using Intrusion Detection the past few days and it has significantly reduced false triggers since you can set the threshold for how long the motion can be present before triggering. The way I have it setup detects all vehicle and human traffic on my driveway and eliminates false...

    HDD Errors in NVR log

    Anybody else seeing HDD errors in their NVR log? I am seeing minimum 5+ 'HDD Error' events in the log each day. What are these from? Are they normal? Is this a sign of a faulty drive? The NVR is set to 24/7 record with motion detection alerts active. For a short while (1 day) I had the NVR only...

    Difference between motion detection and intrusion detection?

    This is a key difference: It would likely minimize false alarms from car headlights at night or heavy snow.

    DS-2CD2532F-IS, cannot get built in mic working!

    Nope. The best I get is some static at max volume when selecting the G.726 audio encoding. http://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php?2007-Sound-from-Chinese-2532-IS

    Critique my home security hardware choices! 6 PoE Cams, 1 NVR

    I have the newer Chinese version of that NVR, 7608N-E2/8P, and the fan is quite loud (high frequency obviously). Mine is currently in a closet and it can be heard with the door closed in the other side of the room (~30' away). It's not any worse than a typical desktop computer fan but it's loud...

    Sound from Chinese 2532-IS ?

    Has anybody been able to get sound from a DS-2CD2532-IS camera purchased recently from CCTV-China? Mine is from Nov 2014. No audio in live view or during recordings. I have tried all of the audio encoders and the cam is set to stream video & audio. :sad: There seems to have been a few threads...

    Anyone use enable smart ir on 2332 turret domes?

    ^ You are not missing anything. The screen in the web browser interface where Smart IR is saves automatically upon changing (Advanced>Image) as long as you have the live-view plug-in active. If I use the web browser on my phone (chrome) it does not auto-save since the plug-in is not active.

    How often does your HikVision NVR become "comatose"? What do you then do?

    I have a DS-7608N-E2/8P with firmware 3.0.8 and it has reset itself twice (that I have noticed) while looking at playback in chrome on a desktop connected to my network. I have only had the NVR running for 2 weeks so I will continue to monitor it.

    Hikvision 2532F-IS - not getting any audio through

    I was wondering this as well but I haven't really looked into it much. Does the 3.5mm audio output need to be connected to your NVR/computer or is that only for sending audio to the cam? I have the same cam from the same seller and have no audio with just the rj45 hooked up.

    Types of Cat6 cable recommend for surveillance runs

    Those both look great but the OP (and myself) are in Canada. Shipping to Canada for the Ubiquiti cable is +$100 and our dollar is not good right now so tag another 14% on the total. Anybody using unshielded cat6? I am finding it a lot easier to find unshielded cable locally.

    ivms-4200 help please

    You need to change the cameras IP address/gateway to match your network. You need SADP which you can find on Hikvisions website as well as a guide on how to use it. Also you may want to check out the IVMS manual located on Hikvision's website. There are also a few guides on YouTube that show...

    Need advice on a good OUTDOOR NIGHT View Camera

    Check out Hikvision mini bullet DS-2CD2032 or turret DS-2CD2332 cameras. If you still require more light you should consider using an external IR illuminator.

    New range of Hikvision IP NVR's?

    The reason I wanted to route it 'Modem>Router>NVR>Switch>Cameras' is because the ethernet lines will all be running through the garage and I wanted to minimize the cables going from the garage into the house while keeping the NVR inside the house. The garage is too cold for the NVR in the...
