Good source to buy IP items at
Interesting, That's a good one to note. I think for reasons of sanity we should just stick to the US versions and stop fighting city hall. I am at a point now that the aggravation with purchasing the Chinese cams is beginning to out way the cost savings.- MrFixit

DS-2CD2132-I Night settings?
Can you post screen shots of all your camera setting? There still seems to be to much noise. Have you tried turning off WDR at night to see if that helps?? I can tell you one thing that's not helping you is the reflection from the car license plates with the IR hitting them. There are so many... -

Any decent guides on the HIK VISION web interface for newcomers ?
Agreed, This is best practice. UPnP is a big security risk. There are reasons that commercial grade routers don't support UPnP and that reason is its a security risk. Everything internet has port numbers and hence you lookup the port numbers that you need open and forward those ports yourself... -

Help upgrading DS-2CD2032-I
I am sorry I disagree, Bricked could mean anything from none recoverable to not working anymore because of a bad flash of firmware. I don't want to get into a pissing match about what BRICKED means I am just saying there are different levels of the meaning BRICKED. I don't understand y people on... -

Help upgrading DS-2CD2032-I
I am sorry I just don't agree with you, Its NOT hard to brick a Hikvision camera. All you have to do is try and install a US firmware on a Chinese camera and ur BRICKED. And I am not sure if your implying that I am trying to scare others but I am not, In fact I am only talking from my personal... -

There are allot of things that could be affecting the performance of it. Robert the develiper of IP Cam Viewer is a great guy, If you feel there... -

Help upgrading DS-2CD2032-I
I think I agree with you 100%, After going threw the hole bricking process on two of my Chinese cameras purchased from AlieExpress and taking several hours of googling to find the thread in this forum to unbrick my cams that I will just purchase from US seller, I just don't like the sound of I... -

Help upgrading DS-2CD2032-I
I would say if you got it from AileEpress and only Chinese manual then it probably Chinese, Look as the serial number, If it has the letters CH anywhere in it then its Chinese with hacked English firmware. If that's the case you don't want to try and update that firmware with US firmware because... -

I Frame Interval value won't update
No disrespect but you should not have to reboot the camera in order for most setting to stick, my settings stick regardless of reboot, I only rebooted as a test to make sure the I-Frame setting stuck & it did. -

I Frame Interval value won't update
I am not sure what you are saying here, You should be able to open IE and type in the IP Address of the camera and it should bring up the camera settings page. The default port for the camera is port 80 so you don't need to include the port# after the IP address but if you changed the port# you... -

Maximum image quality setting help
Your welcome. As for what does I-Frame Interval do have a look at this link 4th post down http://foscam.us/forum/key-frame-interval-t4416.html, TheUberOverLord explains it much better then I could. Others on here may be able to explain it even better. Also you may want to play with noise... -

Maximum image quality setting help
Yes I agree 15fps is the sweet spot, You may also want to change the "I-Frame Interval" to match the frame rate. 50 is to high. Also I run mine with WDR set at 9, That gives a very good balance for both day/night. -

Hi Don, I could not agree with you more on the "Black List White List" subject, As you it just amazing that there is no way to tell when purchasing these cams what the heck your getting till its to late. I was reading a post over on Amazon yesterday that someone thought they where getting a US... -

Custom Firmware Downgrader 5.3.0 Chinese to 5.2.5 English
Thank you for getting back to me so quick, What I meant was are you going to post the new firmware in this thread or someplace else in this forum? Also will I be able to use the Hikvision tools to update the new firmware or will I have to use TFTP? I sure hope I don't have to use TFTP every time. -

WOW so you mean to tell me I can never upgrade the firmware on these cameras? Well so much for my savings. Looks like I will be selling these cameras on eBay and purchasing from the states. I cant own a product that cant be updated. Lesson learned. Thank you for taking the time to respond. -
