    Unplugged NVR and now no cameras!!!! please help

    Are there any devices that were assigned with a fixed IP address that can be found with a discovery tool (such as SADP) to reveal their address and therefore what the gateway address (ie previous modem address) should be set to on the new modem?

    Unplugged NVR and now no cameras!!!! please help

    Change the modem base IP address to be the same as that used by the previous modem. Then no other changes are needed.

    Looking for Hikvision DS-2CD3232-I5 firmware V5.0.2

    I didn't find a copy after a quick look. If you are feeling adventurous you could do a permanent conversion to English and fully update through the firmware versions. https://www.ipcamtalk.com/threads/r0-ds-2cd2x32-brickfixv2-brick-recovery-and-full-upgrade-tool-enhanced.24343/

    Power Long Range (coax) Adapters from NVR?

    The Hikvision NVR simply follows the standards-based PoE handshake methods. It won't supply power unless the PD (powered device) responds as per the standard. With the caveat that I'm guessing a bit here ... But the adaptor spec says 'passive PoE. If that means that it simply must receive a...

    Looking For a New Basic 4CH NVR to Upgrade My Discontinued HikVision DS-7604NI-E1/4P

    Maybe worth a look to see if used versions of either of those models, or 8ch versions, are available on your eBay as is the case here in the UK, at quite low prices. What's the nature of the problems you are seeing? The 4-ch E-series is very much a low-end model, maybe you are pushing it to...

    HikVision Camera password reset

    How you can do this depends on the (unspecified) camera model and the (unspecified) firmware that is installed on it.

    DDNS HIKVISION CAMERA

    Agreed - there is a problem in understanding. What DDNS settings on the camera do you change when : Currently, when my public IP changes (for example, after restarting the router), I have to manually update the DDNS settings on the camera to reflect the new IP.

    DDNS HIKVISION CAMERA

    If you read and understand the good primer from @jmhmcse above you should realise that you've misunderstood how DDNS operates. Only the ISP can define your public IP address, picked from their assigned pool. The purpose of a DDNS service is to associate the ISP-assigned IP address with your...

    DDNS HIKVISION CAMERA

    I don't really understand the problem or question. The DDNS settings on the camera are fixed by your choice of DDNS service provider and your chosen domain name. And the chosen domain name is how you wish to address your camera instead of using the ISP-assigned public IP address. What specific...

    Hikvision camera admin password reset tool

    There is something I just remembered that I should have realised earlier - I should have asked what version of firmware SADP is showing for the cameras. Firmware older than 5.3.0 does not have the inactive/active status after having been reset to default values. It just has the old fixed...

    Hikvision camera admin password reset tool

    Yes, that's pretty normal in the plaintext version of the configuration files. One of them is the default value to use when reset. But the format of the files does vary with the firmware version. In the 7 files from your last configurationFile attachment, there is just one reference to admin in...

    Is the PC that SADP is running on connected to an unused NVR PoE port, assuming the camera is also connected to an NVR PoE port?

    Hikvision camera admin password reset tool

    The password for admin for both the Room Two South camera and NorthEast Side camera is asdf1234 Interestingly, this is a password that used to be used when cameras exposed to the internet were hacked and their password changed.

    Hikvision camera admin password reset tool

    Due to a security vulnerability, many cameras with firmware version 5.4.0 or earlier will export their configuration file via the web GUI without requiring credentials. That file is encrypted and XOR encoded, but is readily decrypted and decoded to reveal the admin password in plain text. OK, so...

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

    What IP address did you set the PC to use? Did you allow inbound access to the tftp updater in Windows firewall? Are the camera and PC each connected separately to a switch or router port? A direct connection between them can be troublesome. Is the camera powered using 12v as opposed to PoE? A...

    HikVision NVR supporting ONVIF Profile S & G But Not T

    New Build for Blue Iris System

    Arguably the 4TB SSD is over-sized for the OS, though it could also be used for video snaps storage, and is undersized for primary video storage, depending on how much history you want to retain. Maybe add a large HDD for the video storage, after working out the aggregate bitrate and the needed...

    Internet Isolation - How important is it really?

    I'm puzzling a bit over what you've described about how the devices are connected. It sounds like the cameras, BI PC, and general-purpose PC are all connected to the unmanaged switch. You've not mentioned a dual NIC for the BI PC, and if so, that would need a separate switch. And I'm assuming...

    Hik vision NVR Reset

    There is a fair chance it will work OK. I'm hesitant to suggest using the Hikvision tftp updater, which on those old NVRs would likely reset to defaults, as the NVR is a Chinese model and the acceptable firmware would be hard to find.
