    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Can someone help me understand the AITool service? I've set up the service according to the instructions, and it appears to be active. But I'm not sure how to monitor it when running as a service. Is there a way to open the UI so I can look at the history/logs? If I double click and start the...

    Cameras RESETTING to DEFAULT by themselves, loosing IP address

    Indeed, that was also enabled by default. Yep. Kind of stunning to me that this is enabled by default on both sides. I was under the impression that if I didn't explicitly port forward anything, then nothing was exposed to the internet. That was wrong. I turned it off both places. Should...

    Cameras RESETTING to DEFAULT by themselves, loosing IP address

    I am also suffering the same problem. However, the twist for me is I am not port forwarding anything, and I don't think I ever was. Wait a minute. From the default settings, uPNP is checked. Does this mean my camera was exposed to the internet, even if my router did not have any port...

    Does Hikvision really support SMB?

    I'm wondering if this might be OS X related, as I am not having this issue, and I see the post got no responses, suggesting the problem might not be widespread.

    HikVision SMB/CIFS Issues - A Summary of Fixes

    Very helpful summary. I am trying to help a neighbor set up a low cost system and using existing hardware is a real cost cutter.

    backing up sd card automatically (linux)

    I got this worked out via the http API. It is possible to search the files on the SD card using a search query, and then send download commands to transfer any files matching the query. The document which can be found by googling "how to integrate storage function of hikvision IP" is very...

    Using ISAPI to search and download from SD card

    I was actually able to make this work after inspecting traffic generated by the web interface using wireshark. An example of a valid request looks like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <CMSearchDescription> <searchID>anythinghere</searchID> <trackList> <trackID>101</trackID>...

    Why is my NAS filling when there's no motion?

    The detailed help is very much appreciated. The record schedule is showing green as expected. I also was able to use the http API to download an xml description of the recording schedule, and it showed everything as set to MOTION. I was even able to modify it using http PUT, and the changes...

    Why is my NAS filling when there's no motion?

    Does that buffer grow to fill the available space? Yes, "format" created a bunch of datadir<N>/ directories, within which there was a large number of empty hiv000<N>.mp4 files, along with some files that look like metadata. With the NAS activated, datadir2 started filling all of the...

    Why is my NAS filling when there's no motion?

    Could this be an artifact of the "pre-record" functionality? Does it just continuously record in order to have this footage available, and then only index those regions that are correspond to motion detection? If so, that would be disappointing, since that's a significant load on the network...

    Why is my NAS filling when there's no motion?

    I have set up a hikvision DS-2CD3132F-IWS (firmware V5.2.5), set up NAS storage for it, and set the schedule recording functions to record on motion. When I access the "playback" function, it does appear that only motion events are available for download. However, my NAS has accumulated 13GB...

    backing up sd card automatically (linux)

    Yes, that does seem like it could be made to work, thank you! Yes, those are still available. It was the "and then use the ftpput command" and "and then start the ftp server" capabilities that used to be available but have been removed.

    What happens with multiple NAS?

    My hikvision DS-2CD3132F-IWS has support for up to 8 NAS devices. But it is not clear what happens if you set up more than one. Does one fill before the next is used? Or will it write to all of them in parallel as a means of redundancy?

    backing up sd card automatically (linux)

    I have a hikvision DS-2CD3132F-IWS (firmware V5.2.5), and would like to record on motion detection to the SD card, and then have a nightly script which backs up any video on the SD card to a linux box on the same network. Recording on motion to the SD card is working. Getting video off the SD...
