For those trying to use an SMB share to store video from Hikvision cameras, this thread is an oldie but a goodie. Two years ago, I posted my recipe for using an old Mac mini as an SMB server for a couple of Hik cameras. See post #7, above. The setup has been working fine for 2 years:-) Last...

The date code on the box indicates it was manufactured 08/2015. It's not the latest tech (only 1.3 Mpixel), but adequate for my needs. Just ordered a new SD card. But it's also recording to a local SMB server. I've verified the recordings (motion triggered) are being made to the SMB server...

My camera is the newer DS-2CD2112F-I, which I understand replaced the old 2CD2112-I. Mine has the built-in SD memory slot. I agree - they sure do make it confusing! Thanks.

1) See my original post: "The cameras exhibit many problems: random errors in the log about Network Disconnections, recorded motion-triggered videos that disappear from the camera, a Motion Detection Arming Schedule that has no effect, and more". 2) I'd like to have a camera that can play...

I mean that they were shipped to me directly by Hikvision's USA office in City of Industry, California. That's who I bought them from, though the local rep.

What do you recommend for a 2112 and a 2032? (both received this month direct from Hikvision USA). They both came with 5.3.0. All I can find for these models on their Downloads page is: DS-2xx2_5.4.0_160530 I was about to upgrade the cameras with it until I read this thread recommending...

The camera (received two weeks ago) came from the factory with v5.3.0 . Perhaps I'll download a fresh copy from the website and re-install. Thanks.

Update from OP: After several days observing occasional Network Disconnected messages logged by a 2112 camera, I swapped it with a new 2032 bullet camera (same CAT5 cable, same POE injector, same switch port). Both cameras have the same 5.3.0 firmware. Three days later, and the 2032 has not...

This is a follow-up to my recipe posted here last week on how to configure a Mac as an SMB file server for camera-to-NAS recording. After having a 2032 camera in service for a few days (configured for motion-activated recording), I've encountered some significant problems. 1) The timeline at...

@pedrokv, Děkuji za odpověď. I have looked all over for other menus that might control the arming schedule. On the 2032 camera, one selects how it will react to a motion event on the same web page, right below the arming schedule. You can see that selection box in the screenshot I posted...

I have a North American DS-2CD2032-I with firmware 5.3.0. It's set up for triggered video recording. The motion detection works fine (though it's a little too sensitive), but the camera ignores the Arming Schedule. I've configured it to be armed from 9pm to 7am, but it still records...

I have a new DS-2CD2032-I bullet camera with 5.3.0 firmware (North American). When I play back recorded video that’s stored on a local SMB server, the video is messed up (mostly missing). The camera is configured to record to a local NAS using SMB. The SMB server is a Mac mini on a 100 Mbps...

I have a new DS-2CD2112F-I (with NA firmware V5.3.0). It took me a few days to figure out how to configure it, get NAS/SMB formatted and working, etc. It’s been in service since the weekend. Today, I happened to look at the Log, and noticed some Network Disconnected error messages. There are...

Like SamboNZ, I also spent a few hours of my life wrestling with SMB mount/format issues so my new DS-2CD2112F-I (with V5.3.0 firmware) could save video to my file server. In my case, the desired destination is an old Mac mini running OSX 10.6.8. After a lot of trial and error, I was...
