Just my opinion, but I think people latch onto certain things because everyone else is doing it. Not necessarily because they actually know why or the down sides. OpenVPN is software. That's all. It's "good" software for sure. There are still 1000 ways someone with mal intent can...

They do different things. I'm not the "last word" so other answers may correct what I say here. To the best of my knowledge..... A hardware firewall appliance is dedicated to preventing unwanted intrusions. All serious IT departments use hardware firewalls from Cisco, watchguard etc. I do...

lol. I notice you said "finally".....I think they're smarter than we are in many ways. If you read the article it demonstrates how slow guardians of US sensitive and strategic information have been to give it a second thought. Probably been using Chinese hardware to hold classified information...

Nice. If it works on 16.04, it "should" work on 18.04 as well I would think. I have several Ubuntu machines so I might try this. I just wish it could run against pre-recorded video instead of only against a live stream. I can think of some really cool uses for this if that was the case...

First of all, I'm new to the forum, but not new to DVR's, IP cams and networking. That said, if this is inappropriate please feel free to move or delete. With that out of the way........ Has there been any discussion on the security risks of having Chinese made DVRs and Networking equipment in...

If you want to add humor to their naming..... "Sam" & "Ella" or "Bonnie & Clyde" (oops, already suggested :-) Contest is closed, I know. I love cats btw.

Yes, they did their best. I'm sure this is all an extra PITA they don't need as well. But my point was the Hikvision process, actually.

Not that I have seen or am aware of.

Overall, I'm not 100% sure why HikVision has put up this much obstruction to resetting the password. Is it to keep the DVRs from being hacked (they had a severe issue with a firmware flaw that allowed many of their DVRs to get hacked I read) Is it to prevent someone from stealing your DVR and...

Ok, I had to use the SADP tool to create the XML file to send to the distributor I bought the DVR from. They then sent the file to HikVision China (NOT USA) China HikVision then sent them an XML file which they forwarded to me. I used the HikVision SADP tool to upload the file China...

Generally speaking, when your DVR fails to send emails, this is the check path you should take 1). make sure your DVR is connected to the network. Obvious....but it happens occasionally. 2). Verify that all the information is correct in the DVR email configuration. You can set up the exact...

I have several new HiKvision DVRS that I bought recently from an authorized dealer locally. I believe one got hacked because one day I found I could no longer access the streams remotely and the password that I'm 100% certain is the password I set is no longer accepted. These are the...

Hello, This is my first post here. I have an AKASO IP13M-903, 960tvl IP camera with what appears to be a problem with the photosensor. It seems to take too much light to go into day mode. That means it's in black and white almost all the time....even during daylight hours. Is there anything I...
