    My first catch. Remember to lock your doors.

    Very nice indeed! but any particular reason you chose to change it to 24/7 recording? It doesn't seem like you missed anything.

    HikVision DS-7608NI-E2/8P - some pics and first impressions

    Haha I'm just shocked to learn that its variable speed, I will definitely have to test this out when I get the chance. You're definitely on point about how its cold over here though :D I presume it's more load dependent than temperature, given that the fan is in the power supply (that's the...

    5.2.X Modified Firmware: Increased line/intrusion/ROI limit to 4

    haha yeah, I'm not very familiar with the language problems that most people have so I'll have to leave it to the experts like @whoslooking to solve those problems. Maybe in the future when I get some Chinese cameras..

    Hikvision FIRMWARE TOOLS - change language, extract files and create own firmware

    That's a bit condescending don't you think? It's your decision to not share the source for your original tool, but there's no reason to put down someone else work when there is value to it - that is, at least its open and others can learn from it.

    5.2.X Modified Firmware: Increased line/intrusion/ROI limit to 4

    Sorry, don't think I can help then, I would just do what whoslooking said and do the mtd hack if you can. Not sure if you saw my update, but I've increased the ROI limit to 4 now as well, which is what normel is after. Maybe you should update your downgrader and save everyone the trouble :P

    Hikvision 5.2.5 firmware compatible NVR?

    I thought about it a bit more and you're right that it's a bit strange and doesn't really make sense. The reason I believe that the substream also contributes to the incoming bandwidth is because of the page/screen (net detect or something?) that shows you your calculated bandwidth usage. On...

    HikVision DS-7608NI-E2/8P - some pics and first impressions

    Mine is maxed out all the time as well, I'm pretty sure the power supply fan isn't variable speed at all..

    Hikvision 5.2.5 firmware compatible NVR?

    What is your sub-stream bitrate? I was always under the impression that your bandwidth usage is the sum of your main-stream bitrate + sub-stream bitrate.. I have 6 cameras at 3MP, 20fps, 7168kbps on my 7608. When I tested the 3.3.4 firmware, I was able to run them at 3MP, 20fps, 10240kbps no...

    5.2.X Modified Firmware: Increased line/intrusion/ROI limit to 4

    @normel (or someone with a Chinese camera), can you try flashing this and seeing if the menus are still Chinese? I don't have any Chinese cameras so I don't know if it works or not.. EDIT: Nevermind, it doesn't work.

    5.2.X Modified Firmware: Increased line/intrusion/ROI limit to 4

    It's the region, sorry I should have clarified. That shouldn't happen though, what firmware did you upgrade from? Have you tried clearing browser cache and/or rebooting the camera again? EDIT: I've managed to reproduce the problem somehow, and power cycling the camera fixes it.

    5.2.X Modified Firmware: Increased line/intrusion/ROI limit to 4

    Re: 5.2.X Modified Firmware: Increased line/intrusion limit to 4 Like iTunesDVR said, I don't think the code is even there for any of the VCA stuff (so behavior analysis, face capture, people counting, heat map). If you look at some screenshots of those settings pages, there's a "Behaviour...

    DS-2CD2032F-I hang up after FW update

    TFTP should be working, is your computer on the same network as your camera? Did you power cycle the camera after starting the TFTP server?

    5.2.X Modified Firmware: Increased line/intrusion/ROI limit to 4

    Re: 5.2.X Modified Firmware: Increased line/intrusion limit to 4 The idea isn't to tell everyone that they can have 15, I've already said that I don't recommend anything over 4 for actual usage. The point is to share knowledge for those who are interested in this stuff, so they can go in and...

    5.2.X Modified Firmware: Increased line/intrusion/ROI limit to 4

    Re: 5.2.X Modified Firmware: Increased line/intrusion limit to 4 Alright, for the adventurous, I've attached the hex changes for everything from 1 to 15 lines/areas. As a simple warning, I do not recommend setting it to anything higher than 4 unless you really need it. From my brief...

    5.2.X Modified Firmware: Increased line/intrusion/ROI limit to 4

    Re: 5.2.X Modified Firmware: Increased line/intrusion limit to 4 If you are flashing through TFTP then yes you need to change the region flag for it to work. If you are flashing through the web-interface it should work regardless of the flag. That's my experience anyways. In any case...

    5.2.X Modified Firmware: Increased line/intrusion/ROI limit to 4

    Re: 5.2.X Modified Firmware: Increased line/intrusion limit to 4 I would be honored if you added it to your downgrader :D. If you haven't made any changes to the davinci binary, you could just swap them out. Otherwise, I did include a picture in the first post with all of the hex changes that...

    Hikvision Motion Detection parallel to continuous recording

    You can definitely do that, the NVR lets you set (for each camera) whether to record continuously or when there's an event (motion, VCA, alarm). You can also set this up on the cameras themselves, but you don't want to do that since the NVR will override the settings.

    5.2.X Modified Firmware: Increased line/intrusion/ROI limit to 4

    Re: 5.2.X Modified Firmware: Increased line/intrusion limit to 4 Thanks, you're right, I tried re-uploading a few times but still got the same thing, I've added a mirror to the first post instead.

    5.2.X Modified Firmware: Increased line/intrusion/ROI limit to 4

    2015/10/04 UPDATE: The ROI region limit has also been increased to 4, although I have only been able to get 3 regions working simultaneously. I've also added update-able zips for each version/region so you don't have to tinker with manually replacing the davinci binaries unless you actually want...

    How to access the video streams of a camera or NVR?

    I actually have all my cameras on PnP (out of laziness really) and haven't had the gateway overwritten by the NVR even after multiple reboots of the NVR/Camera/Both. Though I agree that manual would be the safest bet to ensure everything is working 100%. That's interesting, I can open up the...

    How to access the video streams of a camera or NVR?

    I can confirm alastairstevenson's claims, with virtual-host enabled and the proper configuration, I can access my cameras through (for example) 192.168.1.150:65001 as well as 192.168.254.2. I've been meaning to write about this given the amount of misinformation floating around. I investigated...

    want a fake security camera that looks real

    I wouldn't say its completely useless, having a visible camera (real or fake) will most definitely act as a deterrent to the majority of criminals who are just looking for an easy target. I would put it in the same category as having fake "beware of dog" signs or "security systems present"...

    What is the Surveillance Center?

    "Surveillance Center" would be: -Your NVR (if your camera is hooked up to one) -Your mobile device (with iVMS-4500) -Your computer (with iVMS-4200)

    Looking for camera layout feedback.

    Not sure about 4mm or 2.8mm, but from a wiring standpoint, having the (blue) camera back to back with the (green) camera would be much easier. From a security standpoint, if someone was taking the path from the driveway to the front door, it might be hard to get a good picture of their face...
