    NVR problem

    I'm guessing that you have the PC connected to an NVR PoE port and not on the LAN. Can you confirm?

    Is my WD purple 6tb HD in trouble?

    This is on the problem PC? Dumb question - external, via USB? So hooked up to the USB 3.0 or eSata? And if external USB could also be checked on another PC?

    POE NVR not providing power to devices

    No summer storms with lightning close by? These PoE NVRs, which unlike many items of electronic equipment have lengthy cabling attached to them, have lots of protection built in to protect against transient overvoltages that could damage the components the cables connect to. Sometimes, tough...

    Is my WD purple 6tb HD in trouble?

    What does the HDD benchmark show on any other discs in the PC? (though I suppose they may be SSDs) How easy would it be to run the same HDD benchmark with the disc in another PC?

    IPC-Color4K-T180 troubleshooting

    A dumb question, for which apologies : Would that bear down on the 'tang' that's depressed on the male RJ45 that might leave it unclipped and the connector maybe loose? I know when I tightly wrap an RJ45 male to female joint with self-amalgamating tape I put something under the tang so it...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 troubleshooting

    Good idea. Though not a huge number of errors, the expectation would be zero. It will be interesting to see if there is a low-level buildup.

    IPC-Color4K-T180 troubleshooting

    OK, that probably lets out one potential cause of the problem! Long shot - swap the patch cord, re-punch the keystone ... but you've probably already done that. Do the port stats show non-zero error counts?

    IPC-Color4K-T180 troubleshooting

    I'd guess it might be a cabling issue. Did you terminate the cable yourself? What termination standard did you use? What test method did you use? Did you test the camera before mounting it? edit What does the switch port log show for traffic stats & errors?

    DS-2CD2342WD-I Password reset

    Good to hear! This little hack has been really useful over the years, helped lots of folk out! Not just for cameras, but also using the camera as a 'trojan horse' to pull an NVR password.

    Hikvision DS-7732NI-E4 NVR - adding new cameras

    It might be a protocol incompatibility - that's a very old NVR with very old firmware, compared with the firmware implementation of those new-model cameras. There were quite a few incompatibilities with Ezviz cameras and that NVR model if I remember correctly. Provided it's not a Chinese NVR...

    Brilliant! Well done for getting there. And posting about it, might help others in a similar position.

    Hikvision NVR Virtual Host Question

    Interesting - The fact that you can access the cameras directly confirms that the routing configuration is working correctly. That's an unusual address range for the PoE-connected cameras, did you customise it away from the default values? And did you have to specifically set the camera default...

    Hikvision NVR Virtual Host Question

    OK, that's clear. With the caveat that I'm unfamiliar with those link devices - presumably they have individual IP addresses configured. That's what you'd be accessing in order to check on their status when a PC is connected to an NVR PoE port? If so, and their IP addresses have been set to be...

    Hikvision NVR Virtual Host Question

    Did you try this, and what was the result? Are the links just being used as a cable extension, with the LigoWave ethernet port at the NVR location connected to an NVR PoE port?

    Dahua IPC EASY unbricking / recovery over TFTP

    Is that log complete?
  22. alastairstevenson

    Device Parameters Concerning

    Yes, as @watchful_ip suggested, this is a diagnostic, debug, log aimed at fault-finding, it holds a lot of data such as the kernel log, system info, application logs, hardware status, command lists, environment status etc etc.

    Device Parameters Concerning

    To attach the file here you'll need to zip it up.

    Device Parameters Concerning

    Yes, we can't pull the file out of VirusTotal to see the contents. The exported configuration won't be running scripts, it's just using a recognised structure to hold the variables. Though often it's XML format as opposed to javascript.

    NVR finally died. What should I get?

    Although the various models and brands of PSU used in Hikvision NVRs are widely available on Aliexpress, it's a slow and quite expensive buying route. There is a UK source I've used a couple of times that's quick and actually lower cost than Aliexpress -...

    Pattern Linkage Action form NVR

    Why don't you want to configure this on the camera itself? The facility on the NVR is aimed at when the camera itself is not capable.

    Houston I have a problem

    I'm guessing that the LAN IP address of the previous router is in a different range of the default LAN IP address of the new router. You can confirm this as you know the (presumed to be static) IP addresses of the cameras, and also the LAN IP address of the new router as you are able to log in...

    DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL help

    It might be useful or informative to see what type of ONVIF events the camera is sending. These can be seen in the Events page of ONVIF Device Manager. https://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/files/

    DS-2CD2552F-I Configuration Menu Garbled (5 of 7 cameras)

    Refresh the page in the browser. F5 I've seen this when the browser cache still holds data from when another camera of the same IP address but different firmware version was viewed.
