    Noob Question on the wiring of ip camera plastic shield(?)

    Yes, a real head scratcher until you realize that the Ethernet cable must be fed through the shield before terminating with the RJ45. Also, make sure that you put the rubber grommet on before terminating. The rubber washer goes on the female terminated end of the camera. Slide cable through...

    Having problem getting the time to sync.

    I use pool.ntp.org with NTP port 123 every 60 minutes. I've never had a problem with the cameras nor NVR keeping the time in sync.

    Keep those cameras of the 'net!

    Thanks, but no thanks. That may help others, but I'm not looking for nor want a solution to use my printer's WiFi capabilities. A USB cable is all I need.

    Keep those cameras of the 'net!

    Getting back to the IoT, most of my friends & family are technology dummies. And, in my opinion, they are too lazy to change default passwords let alone configure the security features of their devices. Even if they change passwords, they'll use the same ones that are easily guessed. I am also...

    Keep those cameras of the 'net!

    Internet hacking is one of the reasons I don't allow my so-called "Smart TVs" or other "smart" devices to access my router (except my cellphone & laptop). I'm still trying to figure out why people need such things as WiFi capable "Smart" refrigerators or "Smart" thermostats. I recently bought...

    Coyotes on the Hunt

    Me Too :eek: I thought I saw a coyote around my home, which is in a metropolitan area. After some research, I've concluded it was a young fox. What threw me was the tan coat of the animal, which is normally how young foxes look before their coat turns red. I learned that if it has black...

    Hikvision NVR 7608NI-I2-8P Reboot

    I don't mean to butt-in, but the 1st link has release notes for build 160926, yet the firmware is only for 161008. In other words, there is no release notes for 161008. This implies there is an error with the mix-matched release notes and firmware, and thus 161008 may not be for the I-Series. I...

    Poor brightness and unable to change or save

    Try cleaning the dome cover, inside and out. I had a similar problem with a DS-2CD2732F-I as well. Over time, the image brightness became flat and dull, especially at night. The dome was mounted in the kitchen near the the stove. It turned out that a thin layer of dirt & grease had built up on...

    IPCT New "Dark" theme installed

    Well ... I tried the dark theme, but switched back. I found the grey letters on a black background a little harder to read. I may try it later if the font color become an option in the future.

    Do I Have A Chinese NVR?

    Can anyone verify whether my HikVision DS-7608NI-I2/8P NVR is a Chinese version or not? The serial number has the letter codes CCRR and WCVU in it. For example, 1234567890CCRR123456789WCVU. The firmware is V3.4.62, Build 160503. So, I'd like to know if I ever upgrade the firmware will I run the...

    Image goes black and fades up again?

    Is this occurring during night time only? It sounds like it's flipping back and forth between day mode and night vision mode. This can occur if there's just enough lighting at night to confuse it and prevent it from stay in one mode. This will also trigger a motion alarm because motion in your...

    IVMS-4500 Password

    Are you talking about the app password or the NVR password? They are not the same thing. if you're installing the iVMS-4500 app, then you can give the app any password you want. That just lets you use the app. It does not have to be the password of the NVR. Note: You can access multiple NVR's...

    Reolink RLC410

    WARNING: If you start looking for an alternative, then stay away from SWANN NHD-815 cameras. They are a rebranded version of the RLC-410. The NHD-815 is actually worse because you can't login to the camera. You can read more about my RLC-410/NHD-815 discovery here. Scan down to where I mention...

    What the bleep is wrong with AliExpress?

    Maybe you should check with American Express. It sounds like they've tagged your card for fraud or identity theft. If that is the case, then AliExpress is responding appropriately. Again, check with American Express to see what's wrong with your card.

    @MerNion, I don't know of any other way to test the mail server. As far as I know telnet and ssh have been disabled in recent firmware upgrades. I'm not sure if your version still has it. Having said that, my v3.4.62 firmware has been very stable with no problems or random restarts. If you...

    DS-7608NI-I2 (V3.3.7 build 151102) not sending e-mails

    The NVR GUI has the test button. The Web GUI does not. There is a difference between the GUI's. I assume that you have a monitor and mouse connected directly to the NVR. This gives you access to the NVR GUI. I have V3.4.62 not V3.4.6. Each version of the NVR GUI had a test button.
