    Can't find camera & can't use SADP

    Hi. I have tried many ways of connecting to my Hiwatch (Hikvision) camera but none of them seem to work. According to the manual I need SADP software or something but that is not an option due to linux. The camera doesn't get ip from router or anything. Only pingtools found that the camera has...

    Could not connect. Smart connect is not enabled.

    Are you sure that the xprotect uses port 8081? There is a chance that a firewall in router is blocking it. + I don't recommend to use port forwarding. VPN is more secure way to connect.

    Could not connect. Smart connect is not enabled.

    Does it only work on local network? Do you have a port forward or a VPN?

    Al(j)hua camera

    It's Dahua :p Love the way people read it wrong. I always thought it was Caihua. They really need to get a better logo.. If the camera does not support no-ip, it simply does not. Just use DDNS or something on the list. Other method could be firmware hacking but that's very complicated.

    Android phone running tinyCam Monitor PRO as a dashcam

    Old thread but... It's true that the window will be broken and the phone is going to be stolen. With Android this kind of setup would be very nice: The Android device could be somewhere where it is not easy to steal or be seen. Only the webcam part would be visible.

    Dahua H2.65 IPC-HFW4431R-Z 2.8mm ~12mm

    Try that shutter speed. If it doesn't work just try to adjust it. Auto isn't the best in this case.

    IPC-HFW4431R-Z

    Knockoff.. well that explains the weird product number. I tried to search the model from here but somehow missed that thread. The problem is that I have very limited budget for the camera currently. (~70€/~80$) Starlight would be awesome but there are no cameras in that price range. Are...

    IPC-HFW4431R-Z

    I'm thinking of buying IPC-HFW4431R-Z. Any good or bad sides for this camera? Seems that it has metal casing but not vandal proof. Currently found from Ebay around 80$ or 72€. EDIT: one concern about the model is that naming rule tells it isn't really vari focal. + The description says that...

    Hikvision Series 1?

    Hi. I bought a camera from Ebay and did a bit of research and found that there is almost no information of this camera on the official hikvision website. It is "Original" but how? I only could find few PDF datasheets for it but nothing else. What to do? Camera model: DS-2CD1331-I

    Or use another computer to host VPN server and port forward only it. (Or maybe an external router?)

    Looking for Ip camera

    Thanks. I currently have one dome outdoor and know the problem. :D Starlight and Darkfighter lines are kinda expensive compared to normal models. The picture quality seems good enough from IPC-HDW4431C-A.

    Accessing PT5AM22XH200 outside of home network without NVR

    You need to forward the VPN port only (for example raspberry pi running openvpn server) and it's secure. Unless it's a router then I think there is no need for portforwarding.

    Looking for Ip camera

    Hi. We are setting up few cameras outdoors. Dahua or Hikvision? Currently thinking to choose Hikvision because better support of browsers and the plugin is less mandatory. Which one of these is the best choice? Hikvision 4MP DS-2CD3145F-I SD Slot IR 30m Full HD Dome IP Security Camera H.265...

    Sounds possible. You don't need NVR, a chromecast or something similar could work.

    Can't view cameras remotely

    Do you have a static IP? Or maybe the firewall is blocking connections? Anyways, you should not expose the NVR directly to the internet. Use VPN or something else safer.
