Hello, I have scoured the web and this site for an answer but was unable to find a working solution for the G1 camera. I am looking to TURN OFF the LED light which seems to shine all night. Cannot find the LED OFF part in Day/night switch where I’m seeing in other videos. The settings there seem...

Hello all I am having trouble accessing cameras from a different building on the property that has a separate Network. Cameras are behind that network. They used to be accessible when the whole property was on the same LAN but for obvious reasons, they wanted completely separate networks under...

I use GHI DDNS for a couple of my clients and it seems that myself and they cannot access their cameras and I cannot access the ghiddns com site. Is anyone else experiencing this issue??

I understand that this may be in the wrong listing, but i really dont know where to post for a password reset. Purchased a DS-KV6113-WPE1 on eBay because I could not find one elsewhere in the US. Said 100% Authentic and Upgradeable. But waiting for the seller to respond for a password reset may...

Hello all, I am fairly proficient configuring the nvr and the cameras as well as configuring the schedule/motion/line crossing settings, but connecting the Doorbell button press and push notification to phone just confuses me. I can get the video feed to work no problem, but when button is...

Hello, I have fortunately not bricked my rebranded Hikvision NVR... But, the 3rd party firmware is lacking some features and is few and far between when it comes to pushing out new firmware. Would like to upload Hikvision firmware. Found the Hikvision firmware (I think) is for this rebranded...

I’ve probably spent a good 40 hours testing different solutions and this one solution works the best. It really comes down to the firmware, using a vpn, and using the local IP address. It’s that simple. So I’ve noticed that the newest (rebranded Hikvision NVR) firmware will not display a live...

Ive been trying to search for modifying firmware but i keep hitting road blocks.... My clients NVR Web Browser Live View used to work on their Macs (most of my clients oddly have a mac, as do i) until recent Firmware updates. I downgraded my firmware on my test NVR, the sub stream and playback...

Hello all, I have tried everything to help my clients view their video feed via the web page. It actually works when viewing all cameras at once on sub stream. but the moment they select just one camera and "blow it up" full screen, sub or main, all is seen is a gray screen and no video...

Hello all, I am having trouble using the AXIS camera protocol on a Hikvision NVR (newest firmware) I can get the axis camera to work using the ONVIF protocol, but since the camera is a fisheye, I need to capture the panoramic stream which is the second stream. If I try using stream/channel...

Before I start, I’d like to say that I read a related thread and did further research prior to asking this question. The content was dated, 2015, a lot may have changed. So alarm.com uses rebranded (to them) hikvision cameras. Can I hook up (to LIVE STREAM) an existing hikvision camera setup...

I have 1 4MP hikvision camera connected to a router. I have 10gigs of “internet data” for usage on this router. Camera is recording to onboard SD card, but since it is connected to the internet will it still be using up my 10 gigs of data? Or will data only be pushed when I remotely view...

Is there a way to reboot hikvision cams via the EZVIZ app? I see a bunch of other options like reformat SD card but no reboot. Ironically the EZVIZ desktop site has a factory restore option, but... no reboot. I know I can reboot remotely via DDNS or ivms software, but I’m looking specifically...

I have a client who has a firewall setup and their tech won’t forward any ports for me. I’d like to put in my own router for VPN service to diagnose any issues and perform firmware updates. Do I need any ports open to access the VPN? I’ve tried the port forwarding but oddly nothing was able to...

Hey, I have a rebranded Hikvision 64ch NVR with 52 cameras connected to it. I had 38 cams and added 14 more when the issue started. Sub stream (seems to) works fine, but when I open a single channel, the main stream will lag and jump a few seconds. No smooth video. Sometimes the main stream...

When I purchased these cameras, I didn't know you "Cannot Upgrade" the camera, or else you brick the camera (I know you can un-brick it but still). Thats fine with me. But is there any way to upload a firmware where I am able to proceed with normal US Updates? It's not a problem right now, but I...

Hey guys, I'm curious to know what my best option is to integrate my current HDCVI system with my IP expansion. Current system records Analog/Coax through Savant (so maybe each cam feed is on the network and has its own IP?) expansion will be 16 wired IP cams to an NVR. Can I get this analog cam...

Hey guys, I'm trying to find out what is the most stable solution for transmitting my IP camera feed (6-8 cameras) onto my network for my NVR. I'm not sure that the camera has built in wifi, if that's even a stable solution. Plus I'd have to get power to it somehow anyway. Camera is supposed...

I have generic brand IP cameras plugged into a generic NVR. One of my channels is not streaming a main stream or substream. Yet, I can view the live image without a problem remotely. I could reset the box and would fix the issue, but that doesn't explain what happened. Could anybody shine some...

I'm connecting p2p remote with my NVR via my mobile VMS app and while viewing the cameras, the camera connection times out after about 2 minutes. Once I stop the live stream and reopen the live stream it works for about another 2 minutes. All cameras are consistent with this issue. Is it my...

Hey guys. I just installed another 4 cam IP setup, and customer already calling me that cam 3 is down. Yea resetting the NVR usually solves this issue, but that doesn't solve the problem. What am I doing wrong? Setup works for months or sometimes a few days until a camera goes out. Why?? What...

Hey guys, I have a client who currently has 15 old garbage Cameras and a very old 16ch dvr with 8ch audio recording. He wants to upgrade to something much clearer (Megapixels) with 8 or 16 channels recording audio. He mentioned that his friend had to purchase 2 DVR's just to get all the audio...

What is the difference between these protocols? I called my equipment supplier for tech support, and they highly suggested I use Aebell protocol instead of Onvif protocol. I thought Onvif is always the way to go. Why would they suggest that? Is Aebell more stable or something? Thanks

I keep having this issue with one of my clients. Some of their cameras, at random, go out for no apparent reason and display "Net Error". When I go to troubleshoot it, the camera's IP address is offline (Onvif Protocol)... But the Aebell Protocol with that same IP is discoverable. Yet no Onvif...

Can I have my NVR, lets say, at my house recording the footage at my store location? I don't want to have my NVR onsite. Is it possible to forward the camera feed via RTSP and opening some ports or something to my NVR offsite? Yes, I know I can have email alarm notifications, Mobile viewing...

Hello, I am looking for a way to set up my IP camera to record to a (Google) cloud drive, for free. I don't wish to pay those user interfaces to host this service for me. Is there a way to setup the camera to send its stream to be recorded non locally? I am familiar with rtsp but I don't know...

Hey guys, first post. I install IP cameras and have a few questions I need to clarify
