    Ask them to confirm the serial numbers... if they are xxCH or xxWR (the latter being English-upgradable World Region)

    Issue with Hik Turret cameras in cold weather

    I put the aforementioned turret back outside yesterday. Ran fine for a few hours, this morning, is dead again. Doesn't show up on SADP at all. Going to pull it down again tonight for surgery.

    Can I make my camera Wireless?

    You can pick up a 12x12x6 weatherproof junction box at your local home depot for under $40. You should easily be able to fit a bridge inside with an exterior extension cord from your power source.

    I wonder what the over/under is on how quickly these 9 cameras get hacked.

    Issue with Hik Turret cameras in cold weather

    I've had one of my turrets STB in the Arctic temperatures we've been experiencing here in New England over the past 10 days. Brought it inside and it came back to life, but only after a hard-reset.

    Hikvison IP cam recommendation

    Someone who is more familiar with Hikvision can inject their knowledge, but I believe the 2CD3345 is now discontinued (I cannot find it on the Hikvision site under their current products). It is a couple of years old. That is likely why they are discounted so much, to move the remaining...

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    We have Vegemite too. Wife doesn’t care for the flavor though, says it is no substitute for the “real thing”. Both are readily available at our local Sainsbury’s-equivalent, along with Digestables and Heinz Beanz (the ‘regular’ variety, we still have to import the Curry and Chili versions...

    Newegg sale on Hikvision DS-2CD2042WD-I

    I had a dozen of them. Great cameras, except for all the spider webs. Swapped them out for EXIR turrets instead. But had no issues with them otherwise.

    Hikvison IP cam recommendation

    I've used a DS-2CD3345, it is a very nice camera at an affordable price point. I wouldn't spend the money on Dahua starlights unless you need good low-light performance. I believe there is a newer version of those cameras, the DS-2CD2342WD when buying on aliexpress just check the seller's...

    Prob Recording DS-2CD2432F-IW

    Also... if you relocate your user directory in windows to some other location and attempt to symlink it back to c:\Users, the web interface will refuse to record with a "fail to create file" error. In other words, if you move your user directory to D:\, and then make a link in C:\Users to point...

    Step by step firmware upgrade steps for grey market DS-2CD2135F-IWS available?

    If your camera has a "hacked" firmware, there is a good probability you will brick your camera if you attempt to upgrade it. What is your unit's serial number? Does it have a CH or a WR in the serial number? If you have a WR camera, you should be able to download english firmware and upgrade...

    Step by step firmware upgrade steps for grey market DS-2CD2135F-IWS available?

    Since you have a G1 camera, you are stuck with the camera at that firmware level until someone like Montecrypto or Alastair come up with a hack to allow it to be upgraded. So, take Alastair's advice and disable port forwarding on your router, disable upnp on your camera, and use a vpn to access...

    Recommendation for Hikvision DS-2CD2385FWD-I + DS-7608NI-K2/8P

    The 8MP camera gives a nice daytime image. I find the nighttime image acceptable, but, others who push the Starlights will disagree (you will find on this forum people are very religious about their camera choices, much like the Apple-vs-Microsoft OS forum wars). However, if you go in the 8MP...

    Hikvision vs dauha low light series camera $?

    I think it is pretty much universally agreed upon that the Dauha's are better low-light cameras than the Hikvisions.

    4k camera max view at one time

    The limitation on the NVR displaying multiple 4K streams is a function of the hardware's ability to decode that much data. Probably most hardware doesn't have the ability to do more than 3-4 cameras. You'd be hard-pressed even with a newer i7-7700 I'd wager. And who knows if the hikvision nvr...

    nightmare getting my nvr to see my camreas

    If you are able to connect to the IP camera from your computer's browser, this means your computer and IP camera are on the same subnet as your NVR. Does your NVR have a "public" and "private" subnet (e.g. are the cameras normally connected to the NVR on a separate network to effectively...

    In doubt for new turret cam with low light conditions

    well, think of it this way... 1 8mp camera is akin to putting 4 4mp cameras on your network, in terms of resolution.

    In doubt for new turret cam with low light conditions

    I have a couple of the 8mp Hikvisions for testing. They will crush your system depending on your settings (frame rate, etc.) I do not find the night time pictures that bad compared to the other 2042's I have, but some may say I have low standards.
