OK I'll have a look at the NVR later but in the meantime I found a HIK camera and plugged it into the network without adding it to the NVR ,typed in the Gmail settings that work on both Tenvis cameras and it says "cannot connect to server" Not sure these ports are relevant ? HTTP...

I need to take one of the HIK cameras off the NVR and try it direct with Gmail in case the NVR is causing problems maybe there is some port settings that need a change. I think my hosting company have screwed things up as they were taken over recently and everything worked fine before. This...

Just bought a cheap Tenvis IP camera and tested the email sending with a Gmail account and it works fine once I turned off the "less secure apps" settings in Gmail account. Put the exact same settings in the HIK camera and it won't connect to the test server so this is a HIK issue. I tried the...

It's the email sever on my website which is an SMTP server I believe. Thunderbird email client connects just fine which is doing pretty much the same thing as a camera

OK so everything was working fine and all the HIK cameras were sending email pictures. Then I got an HIK NVR which works fine but shortly after my site host was taken over and upgraded the servers and now email does not work and I tried every combination of ports usernames and server name etc...

I personally don't like domes much due to poor night vision and I have the ones with a foam lens gasket

Looking at ways to safely log in to my router and change settings like tempory activated port forwarding and found this way of connecting with built in HTTPS.I have static IP How to enable HTTPS and create a certification by using ASUS Let’s Encrypt? | Official Support | ASUS Global

So I bought a used ASUS router and set it up and apart from the ability to have openVPN it's no better than the Linksys 320N. Wireless signal seems slightly better but keeps dropping out and I can't get the USB drive to set up with the camera NAS. Linksys sets up easy and allows you to partition...

I bought a used ASUS router Is there a way to only allow access to the cameras or router from a specific device using the MAC address ?

Apparently Merlin won't work with any DSL router

I gotta avoid extra complications around here but I watched the video along with lots of other tutorial youtube vids. I'll upgrade my main house router to the Asus and add a large capacity USB harddrive too it. The feature I like about the Hikvision cameras is the ability to record/retain a few...

I looked at the ASUS router which seems the only one that you can run the OpenVPN software others require 3rd party firmware which I can't be bothered with.My main router acts as the DHCP server all the others are set to bridge mode and once in bridgemode lot's of featues are unavailable so I...

It's an older Linksys which I'm thinking about changing to a better one which works with OpenVPN but not sure whether they work with phone line DSL

Yes I figured the port forwarding was an issue but is there any other way to view the cameras whilst away ? I looked into the VPN thing but not got my head around it yet

I have a about 9 cameras covering several buildings and due to the distances involved about 200 metres from the main internet router I have about 8 Linksys WAG320N set to bridge mode. These routers act as wireless access points and have a USB port that you plug in a hard drive for recording...

I turned off all port forwarding and I'll look further into the security issues

I just checked the firmware on my cameras and they are all 5.2.0 Is there extra functionality or improvement worth upgrading for as I'm not really bothered if the chinese hack the cameras. I've recently been using the cameras to find out where the mice are getting in the house so not really...

I managed to reconfigure the camera and got it working so yes no hardware failures. I need to look into the security and the port forwarding issues.No doubt there will be a thread on here discussing the matter. Thanks for the help. I read an article about the US government banning Hikvision as...

Just installed Pale Moon and it works a treat ! It's been 3 or 4 years since I messed with my network and new stuff becomes available. Thanks for getting me back up to speed

Batch config works good once I figured it out and I managed to get one of these cameras working fine. It's a DS-2CD2432F-IW. The other one is a DS-2CD2032-I and I can see it on the network but the IP has changed to 192.0.0.64 and the IPv4 gateway has changed to 0.0.0.0 which is not what I set...

I'll checkout that download Not sure what happened to the cameras they just seemed to stop working without any unusual things like power cut etc. I plugged them both in to another working camera cable/POE as a quick check but still didn't work. They did both fail while connected to the same...

Hello It's been a while since I played with my cameras and came on this forum but I had a couple of the Hikvisions fail and need to upgrade a little. I noticed the new generation of IPcams are 8 MP is this essential ? as I think mine are mostly 3MP. Since browser support ended I've been using...

Hello The last couple of cameras I bought had firmware 5.2.0 multilanguage and they work fine but now I notice they have V5.2.5 . Anyone know what changes have been made ? I'm recommending these cameras to a friend and I'll need to help him out with settings so I'm a little worried they made...

Nayr that's all over my head but it looks great ! Can you knock up something similar to the Robot electronics device but slightly different and similar to the http://www.controlbyweb.com/webrelay/ but cheaper !

Sounds complex to me I like the Robot Electronics device as it has the inputs and outputs but it lacks internal processing power so to can't use it as a standalone device. You can view the status of the inputs ie voltage from the analogue input or on/off on the digitals but it can't even handle...

Looks good How many beagles do you have in your place? I'm ust trying to figure out what devices I can get so I can have a doorbell chime in all my buildings running off the network.

I don't have the skills needed to do the programming so i need something ready to go

I think the relay bit is quite cheap but I want the ethernet controller -I'm trying to figure out a way to rig up a lighting controller that works from an Android phone. These are another device wit I/O ports Here

Nayr I'm looking at this device for some remote action http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SainSmart-iMatic-WIFI-Network-IO-Controller-8-Ch-Relay-Arduino-Android-iOS-/121319230693?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c3f308ce5 Have you used any of the SainSmart stuff ?

I have an install to do far away and it's got cable internet so I don't know how often it changes IP . My connection is down a phone line and the IP changes every few days. DynDns seem to have stopped the free account so I guess I'll install a cheap Tenvis camera along with a Hik to inform me of...
