I seriously appreciate your feedback and insight here VorlonFrog, but I think we’re getting a bit off topic—the focus was on the networking issues/disconnects via the LAN port. While I can’t comment on the Wi-Fi—I think fixed devices using Wi-Fi is a bit dumb, particularly since you need to...
At this point I’m “suffering” the issue and have another device sending pings to the cameras every minute. While I’m not holding my breath for Hikvision to fix this poor QA bug—it’s been around for, at least, 6 months (5.4.4 was uploaded to the Europe site on 12/26/2016)!—I’m hoping it’ll get...
Post the details of how the apps are configured. That said, I’ve found iVMS-4500 to be better than iVMS-4500 HD (you would think it should be the other way around, but it’s not).
Better than average camera for the price. Make sure to connect to an NVR if you don’t want it breaking frequently—see DS-2CD2442FWD-IW Network Disconnected Exceptions for details.
It is a problem if you’re like me and don’t need an NVR—when I try to connect directly to my cameras they’re offline and take time to respond so this makes my cameras far less useful. That said, there’s an additional behavior when this happens and every 1-12 hours or so the cameras experience...
I purchased a few of these Hikvision PoE cameras and, unlike my other Hikvision PoE cameras, all of these cameras report Network Disconnected Exceptions in their logs every 1-3 minutes. My managed PoE switch reports the ports the cameras are using going off-line every 1-3 minutes and coming...
I’m having this issue has well with the latest firmware—did you ever resolve this? An extended ping to the camera prevents this from occurring, but this is not an ideal solution. My managed switch shows no errors for the port, but does show the port going on and offline often.
Do you have an issue with this on a Wi-Fi network directly connected to the NVR/cameras? For what it’s worth, I have no issue using Clear when connected locally, but frequently have issues doing Clear over an LTE/cellular connection.
Just picked up one of these 4MP cameras to replace my 3MP DS-2CD2432F-IWs. So far I’m pleased and low light performance is significantly better than the 3MP camera.
I will likely get more of these.
Feel free to ask me anything.
