@alastairstevenson My DS-2CD2432 cameras did the same thing as @Todely after going to 5.4.5 recently. The ones that were active on the network were fine, but the ones that were infrequently checked required a hard power cycle to recover. A work-around I used was to force the NTP update to 1...

Thanks Ardith and sparc - this works perfectly with my 2432 and 2332 cameras.

If it makes you feel any better, I took the plunge last year with Hikvision and have been very happy. I've got 6 or 7 now and they've all been solid. The setup was not terribly difficult and the cameras have survived 30°F - 100°F weather and a couple of tropical storms with zero problems.

On the Alarm Input tab, change the arming schedule. The Red LED activates when the camera is "armed"

Tried that - no bueno. I ended up stringing some CAT5e through the attic and calling it good. Maybe a bad chip/solder job on the wifi module?

I tried that, it seems to default to 'lan' when I reboot, but the settings for wlan remain. They have different IP addresses. http://i.imgur.com/Gtn6gZ6.png The browser shows a typical "page cannot be displayed" error page. http://i.imgur.com/4hlrayq.png

Recently purchased a 2CD2432 for use as a baby monitor but I've run into a snag - I am powering the camera with a spare PoE switch, but I want to utilize the wifi as connection. The camera works perfectly on the network over PoE but becomes "unreachable" when off the network. It has my wifi...

Synology just updated their Surveillance Station software with a "Keep Camera Settings" option that seems to fix this problem! This made me pull my hair out at times.

That's how I interpret the process - it won't properly interface with the camera using a non-admin login. I've pulled logs and sent to HelpDesk. I think it's the NAS overwriting the setting in the camera. I think I'll probably upgrade to a newer/faster box (My 211j is getting pushed with...

I am. I contacted support and they suggested I verify I'm up to date on all firmwares/software versions. I was out on two of the cameras and I'm up on the Surveillance Station version. I'm upgrading the cams and we'll see. Edit: Still resetting the cameras. I am using the build in config -...

Not sure who to point the finger at, but anytime my Synology NAS reboots it erases the motion settings on my cameras. If a camera resets or loses connection, the settings also reset. Very frustrating.

The 2332 is good. Here's a snap from one of mine. 2.8mm on this guy - driveway is 3 wide at the top.
