    PROBLEM ADD REMOTE IPCAMERA TO NVR

    What ports do you have open? Port 8000 is the default command&control port, 554 for RTSP, 80 for web GUI etc Worth noting though that this will expose the NVR to the entire internet, with a chance it, and your network, will be hacked and compromised. Definitely not advised.

    Help resetting nvr with limited information

    What version of firmware did SADP show was on the NVR? Some of the old Hikvision devices also used 123456789abc as a default password - prior to them having the active/inactive method after a reset to defaults.

    Need a outside camera that will not fail.

    You described the problem as : Then you say : It's well known - as highlighted by @TonyR - that WiFi connectivity for CCTV cameras can be inconsistent and troublesome. It was a helpful post. Suggestion : To confirm it's not the WiFi - it might be interesting to take down one of the cameras...

    Annke Firmware to Hikvision Firmware: HOW TO

    'tftp timeout' means the camera can't communicate with the tftp server. What tftp server are you using? What IP address is the PC using that the tftp server is running on? (should be 192.168.1.128) Is the PC firewall (presumably Windows built-in) allowing inbound access to the tftp server...

    If it's suitable for attaching here (it's a public forum) maybe some members could figure it out. The filename isn't much to go on.

    How can I access my Hikvision NVR's HDD?

    Worth trying also before any physical removal of the HDD are the 'Rebuild' tabs in the NVR web GUI under 'Storage | Storage management | HDD Management tab' These can sometime bring all those missing recordings back after a maintenance activity has impacted them.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-IU post_app_hook No Driver Found

    It might be interesting to see if those repeating IFE errors stop if the network cable is removed.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-IU post_app_hook No Driver Found

    Presumably in an inside test environment - leave a connection to the serial console running, and inspect any entries preceding a random reboot, there might be a reason shown. I'm guessing these were bought as 'spares and repairs' on eBay. There have been a few on sale with the same faults described.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-IU post_app_hook No Driver Found

    I think, but I'm not certain, that the bootloader manages the ethernet connection itself, as opposed to the kernel after its loaded and running. A bit of a long shot, but a suggestion to try : Keep Control-U pressed till it autorepeats, power on the camera, so that the bootloader is...

    Unplugged NVR and now no cameras!!!! please help

    Did you change the new modem base IP address to match what the replaced modern was using?

    Unplugged NVR and now no cameras!!!! please help

    Are there any devices that were assigned with a fixed IP address that can be found with a discovery tool (such as SADP) to reveal their address and therefore what the gateway address (ie previous modem address) should be set to on the new modem?

    Change the modem base IP address to be the same as that used by the previous modem. Then no other changes are needed.

    Looking for Hikvision DS-2CD3232-I5 firmware V5.0.2

    Power Long Range (coax) Adapters from NVR?

    The Hikvision NVR simply follows the standards-based PoE handshake methods. It won't supply power unless the PD (powered device) responds as per the standard. With the caveat that I'm guessing a bit here ... But the adaptor spec says 'passive PoE. If that means that it simply must receive a...

    Looking For a New Basic 4CH NVR to Upgrade My Discontinued HikVision DS-7604NI-E1/4P

    Maybe worth a look to see if used versions of either of those models, or 8ch versions, are available on your eBay as is the case here in the UK, at quite low prices. What's the nature of the problems you are seeing? The 4-ch E-series is very much a low-end model, maybe you are pushing it to...

    HikVision Camera password reset

    How you can do this depends on the (unspecified) camera model and the (unspecified) firmware that is installed on it.

    DDNS HIKVISION CAMERA

    Agreed - there is a problem in understanding. What DDNS settings on the camera do you change when : Currently, when my public IP changes (for example, after restarting the router), I have to manually update the DDNS settings on the camera to reflect the new IP.

    DDNS HIKVISION CAMERA

    If you read and understand the good primer from @jmhmcse above you should realise that you've misunderstood how DDNS operates. Only the ISP can define your public IP address, picked from their assigned pool. The purpose of a DDNS service is to associate the ISP-assigned IP address with your...

    DDNS HIKVISION CAMERA

    I don't really understand the problem or question. The DDNS settings on the camera are fixed by your choice of DDNS service provider and your chosen domain name. And the chosen domain name is how you wish to address your camera instead of using the ISP-assigned public IP address. What specific...

    Hikvision camera admin password reset tool

    There is something I just remembered that I should have realised earlier - I should have asked what version of firmware SADP is showing for the cameras. Firmware older than 5.3.0 does not have the inactive/active status after having been reset to default values. It just has the old fixed...

    Yes, that's pretty normal in the plaintext version of the configuration files. One of them is the default value to use when reset. But the format of the files does vary with the firmware version.

    Is the PC that SADP is running on connected to an unused NVR PoE port, assuming the camera is also connected to an NVR PoE port?
