    Customer wants me to download three weeks of 15 cameras!

    So I have a customer that wants me to download footage from about 15 or more cameras for 17 days! How do you even do that? If it can be done how do you calculate the size thumb drive needed? Ive only downloaded clips not full days.

    Commercial building roof mounts question.

    So I have been installing cameras a quite a few car dealers lately. The newer dealerships do not want any cameras hung on the exterior of the buildings because of finishes etc. That leaves me with the roofs for exterior shots (other than light poles which we do use as well). In the past I have...

    Hik Connect issue - I know I'm missing something stupid here ....

    OK SO I switched my home system over to Hik Connect. Everything went well with the registration etc. I can see my cameras on my phone and tablet. However when I go to logon over Explorers browser I can't hit the page to logon. It states the address (IP) can't be reached. It did work for a bit...

    Does Hikvision make black brakets for the black cameras they now sell?

    If so I can't find them. If not why would they make the cameras and not the brackets?

    How are we supposed to acess Hikvision clients remotely these days?

    Most of this is coppied from another forum but it hits the nail on the head for me. It seems that the (boolean) work around for FireFox has come to an end. I can no longer remote into my clients from my PC. The work around did work with my HikVisions on the latest Firefox, but will definitely...

    Hiddns sites down?

    Anybody else having issues with their Hiddns sites? I know Hik is phasing them out but older ones are supposed to still work. I can't get into any of my customers or my own remotely using Hiddns.

    Anybody else having problems logging into DDNS sites?

    As of today I can not access any of my client sites on DDNS. It asks me to down load a new plugin which I did. Installed it with browser closed. Re opened browser and it asks me to download the plugin again? Happens in Firefox as well as IE. I can access everything through the phone app no problem.

    Looking for some insight on a long driveway camera setup

    I have a customer that wants a camera at the end of his driveway. Here's the issue. The driveway is a winding 1300 foot long driveway through woods. No power, no line of sight from home to driveway end. Getting power out there may be a possibility as he is probably getting a gate as well. I'm at...

    I have three cameras at a site that when the image switch's to black and white at night they turn really blurry and have a horrible image.The following day they will be fine when they switch over?

    Mainstream viewing question

    I have a 2132 set up on an 8 port Hikvision NVR. Just one camera and I can't view it on HiDDNS in mainstream? Loads in substream fine. When I log into the camera itself under camera management I can view it in Mainstream? Doesn't make sense to me.

    Monitoring remote logins?

    Is there a way to tell how many people are logging in remotely through HiDDNS? Just completed a 19 camera job and it seems he customer or should I say one person in particular is just handing out the phone app and login info to whoever he wants. I know I can curb his privileges to just viewing...

    Resetting a Hikvision bullet camera

    Have not found a way to do this? Some say take the camera apart but I don't think that's right. If I default a NVR with it plugged in will it default the cameras as well?
