I like them a lot. I have two and they seem to last.

I hadn't noticed that, thanks for pointing that out. Hopefully it'll work fine for my needs anyway.

AliExpress is like the Wild West. This one's the "regular" price. I'm going to give one a try. US $44.29 14% OFF|850NM IR LED Infrared 30 Degree 50M Night Vision Built in sensor 850nm IR Bulb board for Security camera-in CCTV Accessories from Security & Protection on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

Thanks loads for this - I freaked a little after I installed Safari 12.0 today. Sea Monkey works great and if you set it up to restore the last session and let it save passwords to both the NVR and the all the cams as tabs when you re-open in the browser it will auto-enter the passwords and...

UDP will only fix the issue for awhile...

I currently have only three connected cams so I replaced my troublesome DS-7604NI-E1 with an English version DS-7608NI-I2/8P sourced from Aliexpress and couldn't be happier, though you'll want the 16 POE port version that I should have bought. I had the freezing problem your client is having...

Yes, that's what happened when I tried it so I set everything back. Thanks again Alastair, I'll fiddle with this when I get a chance.

So all I need to change is to add the router IP address to the camera network settings, add the email configuration in the cam settings and disable the email settings in the NVR? Thanks.

In the camera network settings what do I change besides the router gateway address since the cam is getting it's IP address from the NVR and is on a different subnet?

Thanks, I'll recheck my settings.

Yes, I've done this all but the email pictures remain at 704x576 resolution. My question is has anyone successfully set up and received larger resolution email photos from the camera.

When you disable the email alerts in the NVR are the pics in the email alert directly from the camera in the larger resolution? Can't get that to work...

You're right Alastair, the max resolution in my NVR is 704x576 but the cam gives the full stream resolution, three quality settings and interval settings by millisecond. We'll see it it chokes the NVR, I'll bet it will, or the NVR just ignores the cam settings.

And what is a "Timing Snapshot"?

Schedule Settings/Capture/Capture Parameters/Enable Event-Triggered Snapshot? Will the settings there be reflected in the email? Hikvision told me that the NVR's CPU couldn't handle sending anything larger. I've never enabled this and I'm still getting pics. I'll give it a try.

Where in the camera settings? I'm intrigued!

Please keep us posted if you find a solution, I have the same situation as you.

Where did you find to set the resolution so high for email notifications? I've been unable to accomplish this since I bought the NVR.

I did try that with my 2042's but no help. It's weird that the new 2342 does it out of the box. It makes me think that the NVR is somehow involved but I don't know how that could be.

I've had this problem with my 2342 and both of my 2042's since day one and have never found a solution. They are all "rest of world" cams and I have to turn off, then back on, the WDR every morning. A 4MP issue? They are connected to my NVR which complicates diagnosing what's going on. I'd also...

That's odd, since installing 3.4.90 build 161008 and now 3.4.91 build 161220 it's the first time my DS-7608NI-I2/8P has had zero issues. No random restarts, no problems at all. It's going to take a lot for me to risk an update in the future but we'll see what happens.

Do you filter IP addresses with MAC addresses in your router? (I'm just fishing now...)

Maybe delete the current "Inside" device and start another from scratch.

"Register Mode" set to "IP/Domain"; "Address" set to the correct internal IP address; "Port" set to the correct port (8000 on mine); and "User Name" and "Password" correctly entered? I think that's all there is to set...

Do you have two separate "Devices" configured, one for inside the LAN with the IP address set and one for outside the LAN set with whatever domain address you're using to get to the NVR? I found that for me this was the best way to keep things working.

[Final question: Does this mean that Im not able to upgrade my firmware on the camera? :(

It looks like there's the same constraint. I've never used FTP but I can't find any other settings for FTP picture size on my NVR. Perhaps someone here who's used FTP can better advise you.

Hikvision told me that "at this time" it was not possible to increase the email picture size. Implied that processing and emailing the pics was a processor intensive task for the NVR.

Here's how to read Hikvision serial numbers

I agree about the reboots but after experiencing three or four an hour I feel like a survivor. Did you reset everything except user accounts and network settings? That turned out to be the key for me.
