Go and research dependable computing and then you will understand how to construct error free code and how there is enough time to test.

Your statement was that it was impossible to make glitch free software all I was doing was pointing out to you that the statement was false.

If you were correct then an assembler level register add command would occasionally fail to do 1+1=2, it does not because the on chip microcode function that the assembler calls has been created and tested to be error free. The same can be done to assembler and higher languages, it will be...

The user level account is safer to use than the admin account, if someone was to hack the user level they will have a lower set of privileges to continue to hack with. If your fear level of the manufactures code is that high then frankly you should not be running the camera except in its own...

I had the same with newer Chinese cameras not being recognised by hikonline. I us no-ip which works well. If you setup the camera correctly with a user level account and only publish the server port then you will be far more secure than the majority.

No impossible, just expensive to do.

Some versions of the QNAP firmware still report all available space rather than just the quota, if you upgrade to one that does not work then just downgrade to the earlier firmware, you can do this by just loading the firmware you do not have to factory reset which can remove all of your data.

I am not sure that you are correct about the intrusion zone just being a boundary event. The Threshold value in the settings can be set so that the object has to linger within the box for a specific amount of time before the event is recorded, for that to work it also as to consider motion with...

What do you guys mean by data lag?

I hope that there is a better processor, more memory and a faster bus because the current system cannot handle 3MP at times and recordings skip over some of the action, Ambrella A9 or H1 perhaps.

Size of 917.1G is the culprit, You will need to fix it on your NAS so it reports the quota, perhaps a different firmware or patch, or perhaps can you carve up a smaller device and export that.

NAS is most likely to be reporting the full free space to the camera that it has available and not the amount remaining of the users quota. To check telnet into the camera and after the Test completes okay do a 'df' to check the reported free space. I have the same problem with the latest QNAP...

The settings are different for each setup because the cat in my camera could closer or further away then the cat would be in yours. You have to work out what they should be for your setup, there is no magic number.

You can easily see if a NAS will support a Hik without the cam, with a share less than 250GB with quotas turned on if needed, from a dos command box do a DIR command against the share e.g. DIR \\NAS1\CAM1 You are interested in the last line that reports the 'bytes free'. If it returns the total...

fenderman is right with his summary and choices of camera type. I know of no bottom end camera the can record to SD on NAS failure but you can write to SD and run a script on the NAS to pull video and images. There are examples of the scripts on the web and somewhere on this site but you will...

Later Hik firmware can record to either SMB or NFS but it can only send images via FTP or email. There is a bug where the share presented to the camera must be less than 250GB or the camera cannot initialise the files it needs correctly. I currently have 5 Hik's recording to a 4 disk QNAP and...

The motion detection area does not show as a blue box, I think it used to but was swapped for Motion Analysis, the green boxes that you can see if you have Rules enabled in the cameras Local Configuration, Enable Dynamic Analysis for Motion checked in the Motion Detection event and the iVMS VCA...

To toggle the blue lines in iVMS-4200 v2.3.0.4 it is the checkbox under Tool -> System Configuration -> Image -> VCA Rule, you then need to restart the iVMS

Does anyone have a block memory diagram of these cameras, what other memory apart of the all of the MTD areas do they contain that survives a reboot?

I agree that if Hik wanted to close the door then they could, they could also price there equipment with the global market in mind and effectively remove grey imports without hurting their bottom line. It is a competitive world out there and there will always be people that cannot or do not...

Many thanks for sharing, I will have a play with this tonight.

Having regional as default makes sense to me :)

Can you post them here or do they require a hack that you would rather not shout about?

You are preaching to the converted :) I have been telling them all that having public IP ranges inside is a PITA on all fronts, sadly at least one is in the defence area but they at least have now seen the light.

Sadly I know a few security conscientious enterprises that do as they think it makes hacking their internal systems a little bit more difficult, when some ones tries to connect to the IP of an internal system from the outside they just end up getting routed to China! Not saying it is either...

You can use any IP address for your internal network, it does not have to be one of the IANA designated private IP address ranges below 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 BUT many manufacturers have limited their home equipment to only use the...

Multicast is not broadcast so the camera would not produce packets until a client connects to the camera from a multicast IP in the same subnet range. I have not tested multicast on the cameras but as there is also a setting on the Local Configuration tab to change the LiveView stream to...

Thanks for the kind words NetWorker, luckily ours were professionals stealing cars to order for Eastern Europe rather than crack heads, there have been a spate of them in the UK of late. Blake's post above is right though, and the thing I am missing from my setup is valid advanced notification...

The images that cameras take may be for after the event but that little ring of red IR lights at night is just as much of a deterrent as an PIR flood light. We were burgled in August with 5 adults upstairs and none of us heard a thing, they took all the keys, wallets, purses, credit cards they...

Use a VLC plugin on your site and point it to the camera
