Thanks. I actually figured it out yesterday but good to have a confirmation this matches my drawing.

Hello I have camera model IPC-HFW4431R-Z that I need to rewire. The wire doesn't have standard coloring per CAT5e standards. I know some people dial through to check where it goes but the connector is partially damaged not sure that I can get the wires figured out that way.

Thanks for the reply. It is 12v. Please see attached PDF. It says max 45mA for supply current. Does that mean it is simply what the mic uses? But it can handle more? Why the static then? I'm using power supply thats 12v output and 1200mA. Maybe the connector is wrong? The camera takes...

By the way if I speak loud I can hear what I say from the security camera connected, but the noise is way too loud so can hear it barely.

By the way usually in security cameras I can plugin wires in green connector, but this has standard audio jack such as in headphones or speakers, I tried to split one and use it and also bought one that is designed for making such cable. I tried plugging in the white cable in center and that is...

I'm trying to connect a microphone to my DS-2CD764FWD-EZ camera. I tried 2 different ones but getting static loud noise. I think the amperage is too high, one of the microphones (DS-2FP4021-B) shows to take 45mA. I tried to use a supply from an old analog security camera, it had 1200mA. I am...

for email system with sensitive data security is important, for a security camera notification it is not as critical. plus they could at least announce their changes. for such a big company with so many resources to provide such bad service it is a shame. setting up and managing a mail server...

of course it would be more reliable. because one has full control over it. gmail is known to change authentication settings without warning causing devices using the service to stop being able to send emails.

By secure I mostly mean that I don't want anyone to gain access and start spamming or using the server for personal needs. Exchange would be best but I'm not sure why it's not working. And I already asked this question here before but seems like nobody knows.

Hello, I found that using other email services even such as gmail are highly unreliable for purpose of sending email notifications from camera or NVR. I have access to SMTP server based on Exchange which has authenticated relay enabled. I'am using it successfully with backup software for...

Computer is quad core AMD running at 2.5Ghz and 16GB RAM, 750ti NVidia. Cameras are all Hikvision, some 3mp others 4mp. I'd like to know how many cameras, lets say 4mp can be handled at full definition?

You should probably read the post again, I don't want to use gmail and trying to avoid it, and it doesn't even work on this camera.

DS-2CD3145F-I with Firmware version V5.3.3, build 150803. PS: I was able to get it to work with a godaddy email account but that is not optimal solution. For multiple reasons but mainly because they give only 1GB which will get filled up fast. I'd really like to use my own SMTP server, and...

Hosting companies probably won't mess things up as often as Gmail but still can. Also their free email accounts are usually very limited. Not sure if it is worth paying and if it will even work.

Hello I need a good and reliable dashcam. (video registrator) I'd like it to be compact, record front and rear, and to have good clarity at night as well, so IR or low light lens or something that works. I don't care about GPS, wifi or any other features I thought about Vantrue (rear camera is...

PS: The camera doesn't work with GMail, it was working with GMX which stopped working recently. I'm tired of having a system dependent on other providers. I'd rather just host my SMTP and know it works.

Hello, I am trying configure email notifications on Hikvision camera and use a private (MS Exchange) SMTP server with authenticated relay. I have tested the connection on a DELL printer so I know it works. But I put same settings on the camera and it doesn't work. Any ideas what to try?

GMX stopped working... They probably changed something about how their connection works. Gmail still doesn't work...

I guess it does makes sense to use VPN for accessing cameras that have sensitive footage. But I'm not sure why you are saying that if a camera is compromised then another device can be also. If you use different passwords then not sure how that could happen. But if there is a way please share...

Well it really depends if there is privacy issue or not. Basically where the camera is pointing, if it is simply on drive way then maybe it's nothing to worry about. But if it is a business office or inside the house then yeah it should be secure. The VPN that comes with the low priced routers...

This is a stand alone camera, it is at my house so I have just 2 cameras and haven't had huge need for NVR. This IP that is being reported is not from my LAN or WAN IP subnet. And even if it was, if I understand correctly then "illegal login" means wrong password, yes? If yes then my devices...

I wasn't joking, but was asking. Unless you are talking about some specific setup, using VPN is inconvenience since one has to connect each time before viewing the cameras, it is more expense to setup VPN, and it will slow down the transfer somewhat.

Not quite sure what you mean local but from outside...

No it is some outside IP, it is not part of my LAN or WAN.

I received an email for illegal login notification: " This is an automatically generated e-mail from your IPC. EVENT TYPE: Illegal Login,login ip:10.0.3.19 EVENT TIME: 2017-03-25,03:42:40 IPC NAME: IP CAMERA IPC S/N: DS-2CD3145F-I20151117AACH552652357 " It wasn't me and nobody else really has...

I see. Is there a way to have it start saving to a folder on the phone automatically once it connects through wifi or only by manual selection? Because that would be cool to have a backup like that. But my guess is it is probably manual... Trip to Alaska sounds amazing. But please don't tell me...

Other consideration is Vantrue N2 Dual Dash Cam however the rear camera is only good in day from records on youtube seems like night is barely visible. So maybe not worth it. Plus my windows are fairly tinted.

Seems to have very good video footage quality. Not quite sure about reliability. But considering purchasing this for my vehicle.

I did some reading on the dash cameras and compared features and technologies. While this seems to be a good camera it does cost more then it's competitors, and I haven't seen any real benefits besides that it is more compact then others. The built in memory is also questionable because if there...

Hi anyone know of a link (if exists) to feature chart? Besides details on lens and MP etc, want to see list with available features such as line crossing or face detection etc. Thanks.
