    Uniview dual camera on dahua xvr

    It’s a late response, but you will need to use RTSP on the second channel. Uniview has the RTSP address on their website. Look for the section labeled sensor 2, or something like that. You’ll need to use/create a custom protocol on your nvr to input the RTSP address. Use this custom protocol on...

    Dual Sensor Camera To IPCT NVR

    I have heard of others using this cam via RTSP, but I was really hoping to have ptz control through the app. channel 1 is the wide angle and is picked up through ONVIF, the ptz cam lies in channel 2. I haven’t looked, but I don’t think I can reassign the channels on the camera….if I can, it...

    Dual Sensor Camera To IPCT NVR

    I have an IPCT-8064-8P (hikvision) NVR that I would like to connect a Uniview dual lens camera. The camera has two channels (wide angle & PTZ) on a single IP. Hikvision states that their nvr will not support 3rd party dual sensor cameras. Only hikvision. 3rd party camera will get channel 1...

    Can’t Log Into Uniview Camera

    Oddly enough. I was able to get right in this evening. I have no idea why it would not take the other day. ‍

    Can’t Log Into Uniview Camera

    123456 i was able to set the ip in eztools without entering the password, but did not attempt to log in. After it was connected to the nvr is when I tried to login unsuccessfully. Not sure if there’s any impact, but while adding the camera to the nvr (hik rebrand) the “use camera activation...

    Can’t Log Into Uniview Camera

    I have a Uniview IPC9312LFW-AF28-2X4 which I cannot log into via eztools 2.0 The camera was just recently unboxed to be used with a hikvision based ipcam talk store nvr (PCT-6084k-8P). Eztools was used to change the ip address of the camera to match the NVR, it was connected to the nvr and...

    Daylight saving hour change, all OK for you?

    Lots of kids are on the school bus pre-dawn even with dst. But it would be “darker” without it. People drive all hours of the day as is. Here in PA, the sun was mostly down by 5:15. In late December, it’s dark at 4:30pm. I’m all for getting rid of it.

    DST time-travel fun....

    My NVR is also whacked out. While trying to playback any time from this AM, it will load video from 1 hour earlier. If I type in 11:00am, video will be 10:00. If I try to scroll times on the app, it goes haywire. I don’t recall this issue last year, but don’t remember if I had DST adjust...

    Dual sensor/Dome located in weather exposed area

    This hood looks like it would protect a vertical mounted camera well. I could nest the dahua up in there well as long as IR halo isn’t an issue. I could always run illuminators external. Not sure how well this would cover over the horizontal wall mount. The mounting arm would require greater...

    Dual sensor/Dome located in weather exposed area

    Is there a dual sensor turret style body that I’m not aware of? As I’ve been looking, I’ve only seen domes. I have a PTZ under a soffit. So far there has been minimal rain issues and the lens glare is minor from white light. This new location will definitely get the brunt of weather.

    Dual sensor/Dome located in weather exposed area

    Looking to replace an existing bullet cam with a dual sensor camera. Camera is located on the side of a house with pretty much 100% exposure to weather. I have 2 concerns: rain on the dome & glare/reflection from nearby flood lights on neighbors property. Would a vertically mounted camera with...

    Vertical Mount PTZ?

    Yeah. I know. It just sucks that the form factor of most PTZ are so off putting. It seems like a relatively simple design tweak to permit vertical placement. A dual sensor hadn’t crossed my mind as I was really hoping to find a PTZ to fit my needs. I will scope them out as it may be my best option.

    Vertical Mount PTZ?

    Yes, exactly what I’m hoping to do. I wasn’t thinking properly with the -5° tilt. Your right, it’s towards the base. For me to get any downward (greater than 90°) view, I would need to install the camera upside down. I’m not sure if image can be “flipped” to provide the correct orientation or...

    Vertical Mount PTZ?

    I would like to wall mount (vertically) a compact PTZ. The camera location is on my front porch about 9’ above grade, 7’ above porch floor level. 3’ horizontal I understand that tilt will be a limitation and most offer a 0°-90°range. The Hikvision DS-2DE4A425IW-DE is specified to have a -5°...

    Remote Playback/Access Options For Hikvision?

    THANK YOU! Using this app for over a year and I had not figured that out. This makes life so much better. Not all hero’s wear capes! Thanks again.

    Remote Playback/Access Options For Hikvision?

    Yeah. On mine, the HD resolution and speed adjustment are grayed out and can’t be clicked during playback. Also, along with not having the ability to set a start & stop time range makes scrubbing video incredibly difficult. I can select a start time, but no end time. Using the slider on the...

    I have a ipcamtalk branded hikvision nvr along with cameras and have been using the HIK connect app on my iPhone for the past year or so with no problems besides one annoyance. I cannot do fast forward during playback. im curious as to what options I may have to improve playback and or search...

    Inexpensive paint sprayer recommendations

    Professional cabinet finisher here… I’ve never used them, but check for preval sprayers at a local paint store. The are an aerosol with a canisters for you to add your own paint. This might be a good solution for spraying such a small amount of product. I would think you’d want to thin the...

    Hik-Connect...share specific cameras only

    I know this is an old post, but figured I could answer in case anyone searches this topic in the future. Yes. You can share specific cameras or all cameras with a user on HIK-Connect. Also, if you get additional cameras in the future they won’t automatically show up for the shared user. You...

    Running All Cameras Through A Switch

    Thanks for the heads up. I will be running a HIKvision mini PTZ. It’s a 802.3af with 12.2 max draw with IR. I ordered a 8 port POe+ switch with a 124w total power budget and 30 max per port. So hopefully I have no issues. There is power near this camera location so if I need to run DC, it’s...

    Running All Cameras Through A Switch

    Thanks for that info, I will look at a good 8 port switch for the cameras and add another if needed. I’m not really sure what the power requirement of my cams are, but can check. I don’t really use the NVR interface much, but I believe it shows POE consumption of each cam. I’m adding a PTZ so...

    Running All Cameras Through A Switch

    Thanks. Funny you mention ubiquiti, I was going to use their gear for my networking and cameras that I installed last year. Unfortunately, they were out of stock everywhere at the time. I got sick of waiting so I went with a high end netgear router, basic gig switch for my cat 6 data runs, and...

    Running All Cameras Through A Switch

    Let me preface, I’m not a networking guy. I’ve done the basics of networking but am slow and resort to reading a lot of instruction for guidance. I currently have POE cameras ran directly to my NVR in my utility room in the basement and was a plug & play install. System is monitored via HIK...
