    Hikvision Cameras: "Draw Area" button does nothing?

    I've never gotten that to work--I always have to draw areas and lines at my NVR. Thank you for posting this lead.

    More Than 3 Snapshots in Email?

    When my cameras email me 3 snaps, 2 of them are always identical! The delay timer just doesn't work correctly.

    Hikvision female RJ45 failure due to water ingress - easy fix

    Your images are broken. Can you check the links? They look like they point to gmail. If you need a free and easy image host, try imgur.com. Thanks in advance for the info, this is great.

    Hikvision Temperature Overlay App

    I have my cameras hooked up to an NVR. Will this overlay work with an NVR? Not sure how this thing works. I am guessing it tweaks camera settings to add things to the overlay text which are normally hidden. Is that correct?

    4 MP turret shows it's connected, but no video available

    Reset button on the cord? Is there a button near the network jack? I never noticed one before. The camera is back online now, it fixed itself, but it's clearly having some problems. I will try the factory reset next time it freaks out.

    4 MP turret shows it's connected, but no video available

    I have an LTS 4MP camera at my front door set up to do line-crossing alarms, including emailing pictures. This is done via an LTS NVR. Today I started receiving the alarm emails without a picture attachment. My other cameras with similar setups still send pictures so it isn't an email issue...

    Huisun 10x LPR (License Plate Reading) settings

    Is it possible to pipe the camera x264 stream through a utility like ffmpeg, converting it to mjpeg?

    GMAIL Failure? Anyone Else?

    I need the 87xx series too. I'm my neighbor's tech support! I hope they don't skip it. I was considering suggesting that model for another user but I may not be able to do that if I think that support has ended.

    New V2 Cameras source

    Yes, it's fixed. Thanks for posting the link. I don't know about clicking. When the devices failed they were mounted high up on the house.

    Unbricking the Mini PTZ V2

    Huisun v1/v2 not working, not even visible in SADP after using "enable DHCP" checkbox

    Re: Huisun v1/v2 not working, not even visible in SADP after using "enable DHCP" chec My cameras are working again! Jack at AliExpress had told me to hook them up to a router with DHCP. I got the POE injector required for that tonight. On my LAN the cameras picked up an IP address, did the...

    Huisun v1/v2 not working, not even visible in SADP after using "enable DHCP" checkbox

    Re: Huisun v1/v2 not working, not even visible in SADP after using "enable DHCP" chec I just ordered a TP-LINK POE injector, so the next test is Monday night. I'll report back, thanks for the help!

    Huisun v1/v2 not working, not even visible in SADP after using "enable DHCP" checkbox

    Re: Huisun v1/v2 not working, not even visible in SADP after using "enable DHCP" chec Jack replied to my question and suggested attaching the cameras to a router with DHCP enabled. I thought the NVR used DHCP, but I guess it uses the camera admin login to set a fixed IP, doesn't it? Maybe SADP...

    Unbricking the Mini PTZ V2

    This is a cool thread. I just bricked a V1 and a V2 within 5 seconds of each other, by using the "enable DHCP" checkbox in SADP. I get no network and no self-test motion. I wonder if this method offers any hope? I had thought SADP's network settings were compatible with Huisun cameras, but it's...

    Huisun v1/v2 not working, not even visible in SADP after using "enable DHCP" checkbox

    EDIT: Fixed! See below. Today I updated the firmware in my LTS/Hik NVR, after which I had connection problems with my 2 Huisin PTZs. I have a v1 and a v2. I plugged a laptop into a spare port on the back of the NVR and fired up SADP. It saw the 2 cameras, but they had an unexpected IP...

    GMAIL Failure? Anyone Else?

    I think I have bigger problems now, the PTZs appear to be hosed. Starting a new thread in Huisun-land. Bummer!

    PTZ v1, v2 no longer working on LTS (Hik) NVR after NVR firmware upgrade

    OK, more data. It does not look good! I plugged a laptop into the NVR and fired up SADP. It saw the Huisun cameras as "unknown" devices. Interestingly it showed their IP as 192.168.254.x, which is not the NVR's normal range. So, it did look like the PTZ camera settings got screwed up. SADP...

    PTZ v1, v2 no longer working on LTS (Hik) NVR after NVR firmware upgrade

    I was going to get a POE injector but I should have thought of plugging a laptop into the NVR, thanks!

    PTZ v1, v2 no longer working on LTS (Hik) NVR after NVR firmware upgrade

    They were set on manual logins before, port 8000, LTS protocol. I re entered the data, no luck. Can't check with sadp yet, the cameras aren't directly accessible to my LAN.

    PTZ v1, v2 no longer working on LTS (Hik) NVR after NVR firmware upgrade

    Anything is possible but it smells like a software problem. Both cameras worked perfectly for months, both stopped working after a NVR upgrade. I need to get a POE injector so I can talk to the cameras directly without dismounting them... Can't even reach them through the NVR port mapping...

    PTZ v1, v2 no longer working on LTS (Hik) NVR after NVR firmware upgrade

    Final edit: Cameras are back up! Resolution here. Short version: Put the camera on a LAN with DHCP active to recover. A camera in DHCP mode which can't talk to a DHCP server will not do the self-test, and will remain invisible to arp, SADP and Huisun's tool. I updated my LTS NVR firmware to...

    GMAIL Failure? Anyone Else?

    The new NVR firmware fixed a couple of things. - I can use smtp.gmail.com again, though SSL won't work - I now get image attachments from cameras with VCA events Unfortunately, the new firmware is not talking to my Huisun PTZ cameras! I cannot get them up, and I can't even talk to them...

    Crzywrm623 -- do you get image attachments with your VCA emails? That's been broken too. Not sure if the fault is with camera or NVR though.

    GMAIL Failure? Anyone Else?

    Hey, there is a new firmware for my LTN8916-P16 too. It must have come out within the last 2 weeks. When you do an update, do you use the zip file, or unzip it first? @bike_rider, I honestly never even thought about using my ISP. I have Comcast Business and I assumed it would just be a...

    Any idea what changes are in LTS (Hik) NVR firmware V3.3.6_160608 ?

    @zero-degrees -- Thanks for posting that config. To be clear, is this Gmail config working for you on a unit which used Gmail before, but stopped working when Google changed their TLS settings? And, by "enabling 3rd party applications" do you mean this "allow less secure apps to access your...

    He helped me reach tech support... I think the published emails are not well monitored, as I got through with his assistance and nowhere without it. Unfortunately I don't think he has more info than support does.

    Any idea what changes are in LTS (Hik) NVR firmware V3.3.6_160608 ?

    I contacted LTS tech support about this. Any way to get notified when there are new firmware releases? Nope. Any way to see what's in a new firmware release? Nope. And lastly, any way to know when the Gmail issue may be fixed? Nope. Disappointing that those are the official positions.

    GMAIL Failure? Anyone Else?

    After having tried it myself I believe you. Our Sendgrid setups were identical, and the NVRs' email config areas are as well. There's no reason his setup should have failed. This does not mean there isn't another SMTP provider that might work. After all, Gmail did until they pulled the plug.
