    RTSP 2.0 support

    any camera supporting RTSP 2.0 yet? RFC 7826 - Real-Time Streaming Protocol Version 2.0 I can't seem to find any camera with it. Does RTSP 2.0 have a real chance of getting adopted? IP cameras seem to have an awful old stack unsuitable for modern days (NTLMv1, TLS 1.0)

    IPv6 on wifi interface

    It looks like IPv6 is only supported on LAN interface but not WLAN interface (at least in web UI). Is there a way to get IPv6 to work? For LAN interface, DHCP/RA isn't even showing current lease DS-2CD2455FWD-IW on V5.5.80 build 180911

    auto-switch day and night set while still taking advantage of day/night profile

    Switch Day and Night Set has auto or scheduled options. If I set it to scheduled, it still has Day/Night switch under common profile. Is my understanding correct that Day/Night switch controls IR and video (color or greyscale), and no IR in day mode even if Smart Supplement Light is on? If I...

    Hikvision like storage setup?

    How can I configure Dahua IP camera to record to NAS (smb) and snapshot to FTP? I read somewhere smb isn't supported on Dahua IPC but it is still listed as an option? In samba log I don't see any connection attempt and IPC settings has no test button for smb (FTP has a test button) When I...

    day/night switch?

    All my Hikvision cameras are switching to night (greyscale) before it is necessary. If a manually set day/night mode to day then auto, it will probably stay in day mode for some time. I tried adjusting sensitivity and it didn't seem to help much. BLC did help sometimes but it causes issues...

    (near) real-time backup solution?

    I am using 2 Hikvision IPC's writing directly to samba share. Any ideas on how to achieve (near) real-time backup of motion/alarm recordings? One obvious way is to have a remote device record to RTSP stream but that's quite bandwidth intensive for always on. Anyone is familiar the directory...

    Install https certificate?

    I am unable to find the spec for hikvision's https certificate. It definitely does not support chained certificate. Tried both pcks#8 and pkcs#1. Install success, but tcp/443 does not respond. Create certificate request generates 1048bits key, which isn't accepted anywhere today. So the only...
