    Test email doesn't work

    Glad you got it working, have fun! FYI I have used SADP on Windows 10, so there's no fundamental reason it shouldn't work if you decide to try again. There must be a setting that needs fixing, somewhere.

    I'd like to know too!

    Hikvision DS-2CD2342WD-I 2.8mm or 4mm Lens?

    I can't tell you how many times I have searched for camera FOV simulators/calculators... somehow I missed this one but it looks great!

    Test email doesn't work

    Do you have 2-factor authentication turned on for Google? Don't know if that would kill remote SMTP but I bet it would. Did you reduce your Google account security settings? That's important for sending mail from the NVR. Follow the directions here...

    RasPipC - Cameras on your TV made Easy.

    Thanks for the update, that makes sense. Looking forward to seeing your progress. I am sure we'll have a thread to talk about camera choices before long!

    RasPipC - Cameras on your TV made Easy.

    I'm late to the party, haven't been on the forum for a while since I am in a holding pattern before wiring up my cameras. First, thanks a ton for sharing raspIPC, I'm all over it! Second, what are your LPR plans? I'd also like to throw in a vote for Huisun support as they seem to be popular...

    New Hikvision NVR DS-7608NI-I2

    I've used a couple of these NVRs and both are loud enough that I would not put them in a living room, and definitely not a bedroom. Being next to a living space should be OK, especially if you can keep the door closed. As Dutchie30 said the fans inside look like normal computer fans and it is...

    Best deal on Imporx (Huisun) v2!

    I set up a park position and timeout on my v2 and it does park correctly after a power-cycle. Hopefully the screwy self-test is just a quirk and there are no deeper issues.

    Best deal on Imporx (Huisun) v2!

    Thanks for those details, this will help me figure out if I have a problem or not. I haven't yet messed with setting a park position. With your bad camera, what was the resolution with the seller?

    Best deal on Imporx (Huisun) v2!

    This camera will be used 99% of the time to point at one spot so as long as the "park" feature works, it will work out. We'll see how it goes...

    Best deal on Imporx (Huisun) v2!

    I tried it both with a 12V wall wart and with POE from my NVR. My v1 worked fine with both those sources. Hope my v2 ain't goofed up... but when you roll the Chinese dice, sometimes you're gonna lose.

    Best deal on Imporx (Huisun) v2!

    I wasn't planning on it since I am using an NVR, but if I have spare, I might do it for kicks.

    Best deal on Imporx (Huisun) v2!

    I got my first of two yesterday. I ordered a few days apart since some have said you can get hit with duties otherwise. The camera works, but half of the bubble wrap was deflated and the shipping box had a hole worn in in, like it had been dragged behind a car. The plastic housing of the...

    Any way to set up a Hik/LTS NVR for graceful shutdown when running on UPS power?

    There is a hard power button on the front of the unit. The best thing I can think of for auto-shutdown is rigging a gizmo connected to a computer that knows when to "press" the button by closing a relay. That might be fun to build but I sure wish that feature was built in.

    Any way to set up a Hik/LTS NVR for graceful shutdown when running on UPS power?

    Pretty sure it's linux under the hood but I've not seen a whisper about installing your own software on it. I've looked through all the alarm input settings and I don't see anything about using an alarm input to trigger power down. So, while you're advised to use a UPS, it looks like you just...

    Any way to set up a Hik/LTS NVR for graceful shutdown when running on UPS power?

    I have the LTS LTN8916-P16, and I'm wondering if anyone has set up a similar NVR for clean shutdown during a power outage--assuming you have a UPS with a contact closure signal.

    Best deal on Imporx (Huisun) v2!

    Hasn't happened to me. Sounds like your bank is paying attention! Charges from China are probably pretty unusual for most people.

    Huisun 10x LPR (License Plate Reading) settings

    On my v1 I used settings someone else posted and 1/425 shutter did the job of freezing plates while also making a usable image during daylight. You may not need to go all the way to 1/1000.

    LTS LTN8916-P16 4K NVR unboxing, first impressions

    Does anyone know the best way to do that? I am more than happy to file a bug report send in log files, mail a certified letter, whatever will help.

    LTS LTN8916-P16 4K NVR unboxing, first impressions

    Thanks for posting the workaround. Did you get that from LTS? If so any hint that they'll fix the problem? While it's nice there's a workaround, I don't want to buy more gear and complicate my setup to use a feature that should be working. :)

    LTS LTN8916-P16 4K NVR unboxing, first impressions

    @D!ngo, I have definitely experienced a problem with email attachments for region intrusion and line crossing motion events. They just don't work at all. Basic motion attachments work fine. I had been meaning to search or start a conversation on this, so good timing. I received my LTS gear...

    Best deal on Imporx (Huisun) v2!

    I placed 2 orders ~1 week apart and both shipped within the last ~24 hours.

    Best deal on Imporx (Huisun) v2!

    I can spend $150-$200 on one of these cameras instead of spending more for a fixed camera with less zoom. One of my PTZs will be zoomed in on my driveway to capture license plates--this camera was the cheapest and best way to do that. The PTZ feature is fun but I'm definitely not maximizing my...

    Mini PTZ 2nd Gen: 2016 PTZ Camera of the year!

    These cameras will work on some Hik NVRs but I don't have model numbers. Motion detection in these cameras is only the "basic" event type, where you can toggle off parts of the grid. They do not support any other motion detection like line crossing or area intrusion. On the v1 camera, the...

    Huisun 10x LPR (License Plate Reading) settings

    Yep, pick an IP address in your NVR's list, manually set that in the camera, then use Manual camera setup mode in the NVR.

    Mini PTZ v1: Firmware Discussion

    I think it is related to that build, because after installing different firmware my camera now has a normal admin account with a non-default password. But I was also messing around with the Chinese tool so I don't have good reproduction steps... I am not sure how I got here, but it worked out...

    Mini PTZ v1: Firmware Discussion

    Thank you @atom! I just got there myself, and it fixed me up. The Dropbox link in this post had the tool. I stumbled through the Chinese procedure and this seemed to give me the hard reset I needed. Whew! This all started when I changed my admin password. I just went back to look at that and...

    Mini PTZ 2nd Gen: 2016 PTZ Camera of the year!

    Where did you get the reset tool? Turns out I need that for my v1... I managed to break the admin account!

    Mini PTZ v1: Firmware Discussion

    Thanks for the confirmation. Wow, I am really stuffed then. The only account in the camera does not have permissions to make new accounts or upgrade itself to admin! I just tried hacking at the web ui by Inspecing Element and changing values, but it was too smart for that. :) Is there any way...
