    Why Flash Hikvision Firmware Over My LaView Equipment

    I think you will lose the warranty if you flash it though (unless you flash it back to Laview when you need to RMA)...double check with them if possible.

    Got New Camera From Andy And I Can't Log In To It

    If you logged in with SmartPSS, check what the http port is, it might not be 80? (if it is a different number than 80, you have to type http://IP address:http port. if the http port is 9000, then it would be like http://192.168.1.108:9000)

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    I can help with the first one...: 1. You can adjust the area where you want motion and sensitivity, but you have to configure it using NVMS7000 for computer (just like with an IP camera). Use SADP to detect and assign IP to the doorbell, then add it to NVMS7000 (or ivms4200) then Device...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    Just wondering...for the night vision, did you take the plastic wrap thing off the IR ring? (the black ring around the camera, not the camera itself) I didn't even notice it at first and got a similar night picture as you, but after removing it the picture cleared up alot more, with usable...

    LTS NVR Perpetual Reboot

    hmm...check your log for abnormal shutdowns and also illegal logins, if you're getting tons of 'illegal login' you might be attacked by a botnet, which can cause it to reboot. If you do see a ton of illegal logins, try to disconnect it from the internet, see if that stops the rebooting...

    Hikvision NVR messing up time for 3 of 5 cams by 30 min

    Try this: Log into the camera itself to see if the DST is on, sometimes the NVR and the Camera's DST function doesn't seem to be in sync, or they seem to add to each other....

    XC-2420FIW ... US cam bricks after official FW update (urgent)

    I had a similar issue, but turns out my cam wasn't getting enough power because my cable was too long (100 ft) for the 1 amp power adapter to push through...so it was rebooting everytime i had the sirens on. Have you try to take out the SD card then power it up? I know if the SD card is not...

    Are you able to get to the web interface of it? I had issues where ivms show it as active, but in reality it wasn't active...once i get to the web interface it prompts me to make a new password to activate it. Your model might or might not have a reset button on the pigtail (its either a 3rd...

    hikvision DS-2CD3345-I activation setup problems

    What is the ip that shows on the ip Detection tool? Try to Change the internal NIC IP address to match the first 3 set of number. For example, if sadp shows your camera as 192.0.0.64, change your internal NIC(this refers to the built-in POE) to 192.0.0.1 then they can talk to each other.

    What tools do you bring to your installation site?

    Bench test everything. Make sure you are able to activate everything and connect them together (even with so called 'plug and play' systems) (I assume you are doing IP), have the password/login for everything (especially since there's no default pw anymore, Dahua and Hikvision forces you to...

    POLL Your fav (cheaper but still great quality) cam manufacture under Dahua/Hikvision do you have?

    The only inexpensive manufacturer other than Hik and Dahua I would trust is TVT, which sells under different names in US. (the old Q-See analog stuff used to be made by them) so they have been in the industry for a good while. http://www.tvt.net.cn/product.aspx?TypeId=2

    Camera Issue

    If you didn't mount it yet, to open the dome and find that reset button (remove the inner black piece and you should see it) next to the SD card slot, then after reset it should be 'inactive' and you can activate it with your own password . How to reset : turn off the power for camera, press...

    Can I run two POE switches to an NVR?

    Another tip...If your model has built-in POE (for example, a 8 channel with 8 POE), you will also have to change the connection method from Plug and play to Manual in Camera->Edit. This is due to being unable to delete POE channels, so you have to Edit them Otherwise you'll just get an error...
