Here is a copy/paste of my own current documentation: Hikvision cameras recording: save to NAS and MicroSD To save cameras directly to NAS, first the NAS must be configured, then the cameras. To save to MicroSD, only the last 3 steps are needed. One needs only the last 2 steps plus the NAS...

Is it possible to use ssh to issue a command to turn PIR audio alert on and off? I am talking about DS-2CD2432F box v5.2.5 fw. I know its busybox is useless, but it accepts bash as the parameter so it should be able to issue such a command: ssh admin@[Camera IP] '/bin/bash' But I was unable to...

I have few years old cameras, and I need one of them to record on internal MicroSD card upon Line Crossing alarm. I would prefer to have motion turned off as it has too many false alerts. Actually, Intrusion detection would fit even better, but they both have the same configuraiton options, so...

This model allows for 4 free licences and I have it recording 4 cameras fullHD with no problem. I described entire process for this particular NAS, did you tried following that? If it wrks for me, it must work for you. THese things are not liekly dependant on the firmware versions as it is...

Why would you do it like so? Use the QNAP Surveillance Station! It records perfectly fine 4 of my cameras when they issue an alarm. I do not see why would I save directly from 4 or less cameras to QNAP if it comes with decent program doing the job for up to 4 cameras for free and I can watch and...

They work well. Given a good NAS which can limit user to desired space, they record perfectly directly to the NAS. I seem to recall people had problems with WD but this is not camera's fault. Likely WD makes lousy NAS. You can put MicroSD card into the cams and record to them (but this is not to...

Depends on your needs. But, I have them set to 100 gb and 30 gb per camera (ones capturing 25 fps are on 100 gb with over 3 weeks of motion records). Works perfectly on my Asustor NAS. Each camera has separate user and own folder and own limit. Some people here have stated supposed maximums...

save to nas: Search my posts, they are few. It wil not solve your WD problem, but should enable you to fully understand the issue. In short: 1. You need a method to limit disk space a camera sees. This needs to be done on the NAS. Or it will act as full disk is availale for the camera and will...

Regarding security access to own home network, the responsible answer Regarding security access to own home network, the responsible way would be to write something like the following: VPN can be the most in security you can get, and you should use it to access your home network. PPTP VPN...

OMG, I did not know this is so dangerous! I shall immediately pull the power cord from my TV as it is on my my network and I do not want some nasty hacker watching my new TV! Seriously, I hate people with partial knowledge making exclusive, final statements. Normally I do not spend any time...

There is no fix and no problem with ccch or ccwr related to saving to NAS. I saw explanation several times, I believe I too wrote in one thread detailed explanation for saving to Asustor NAS.

I adore my Raspberries, but I would not use them for a doorbell. Other posters made great points regarding housing. I actually use a regular IP camera (mini dome) just above the main door as a doorbell for our cats (OK, and for everybody else). I do not use BI or PC. Cameras are displayed 24/7...

Many excellent posts, maybe my favorite is excellent Kawboy12R comment above. When I decided I needed to learn computer security for professional reasons, I soon realized I must learn about psychical security also. So, it is my hobby now (including lockpicking). What I learned is that regular...

Same as one camera but organizing Port Forwarding accordingly. External ports can be almost anything, following is just a nice numbering scheme for easy understanding and it works. Lets say you have cameras starting from .21 (192.168.1.21, 192.168.1.22, 192.168.1.23...) On a router you...

Now I have my cameras up and runnig and am searching for a good system to review recordings. Cameras have no problem recording automatically to my NAS when needed. Raspberry is not needed. RP2 should just be used to show image on TV when TV is on and for reviewing recoridngs. Now I use it...

I do not use such a recorder, but the principle is the same Recorder does not decide anything. It only obeys. If Camera has Motion alert and triggers recording, it will be recorded. Recorder has no clue as to why camera decided to triger motion alert. But depending on the recorder, different...

Is prtHardInfo authoritative? Meaning: if it says my camera is language = 1, any devices checking for it will be satisfied it is 1? I have 2 cameras from Ch with 5.2.5. Multilingual with day of week in English. Their box says the same: v5.3.0_150513. prtHardInfo says language = 1 for both...

I love complication, but... Basic premise is valid if there is something to steal from the networked devices worth more than the camera which they can easily unscrew and take away. Unless they want to send thretening e-mails to some people, leaving trails to you. Which will also be logged...

p2/2 Saving 4 different ways: 2x Asustror NAS, and direct 2x To save cameras directly to NAS, first the NAS must be configured, then the cameras. To save to MicroSD, only 2 steps are needed. 2. When trying to make cameras directly save to my NAS, I first tried NFS - did not work. Then switched...

p1/2 Saving 4 different ways: 2x Asustror NAS, and direct 2x As recordings work well for me, my experience might be of use to someone :) I have NAS Asustor AS-202TE, Hikvisions are all 3 MPixels IP: 3 different models, firmware v5.2.5 and v.5.3.0. Cameras are CH (Chinese) and one is World...

Another question resulted from that: after I rotate pic to vertical format in camera, do I see this picture as a tiny vertikcall picture on my screen (with most of my scren blacked out left and right of the picture) or do I get full horisontal picture on my screen (but actually showing vertical...

Well, now I understand your previous post :) I am sort of slow :)) This software rotation solves aiming problem for me, so I do not have to mehanically tilt entire camera to get an angle I need.

I forgot, nobody commented ony possibilty to rotate the picture. Manual suggests it is possible. So, can I have camera mounted normally (horisontally) but rotate the pic in the firmware of the camera? Which resolution can I get if this is possible. If a sensor is square instead of wide, this...

Thanks, here are some very useful tips :) In the meantime, I got factory feedback. They said Hikvision Ds-2cd2132F-IS with 3 MP resolution and 2,8 mm lens had 86 deg Horisontal FOV and for 4 mm lens FOV is 70 deg (I will omit other 2 FOV angles as irelevant for my post). These numbers are the...

I want to mount a camera just above my doors (2 m / 7 ft). Camera must cover floor right to the doors and cover a hallway which is narrow (1,5 meters on the camera end and about 4 meters long). Most likely candidate for the camera is Hikvision Ds-2cd2132F-IS. Questions. 1. Do I need 2,8 or 4 mm...
