That is not what this post was about when I made it several years ago. It allowed recovery of a corrupted login database, and was specific to SP model NVRs running older firmware. If your unit is running older firmware, an older version of SADP couple with an online Hikvision password reset...

The gateway is set correctly on the cameras but router is certainly not set with any static routes to direct traffic to the NVR interface so that makes sense. That’s not something that would ever be done out of the box except in cases of OP where he explicitly has a need for direct access...

I have an I series unit and this does not work. Not pingable, scannable, or reachable in any capacity and cameras are all on 192.168.254.0/24. I’ve never know this to work either. But even if that were the case a client computer is not going to be able to reach a device on another subnet unless...

I meant in the sense of taking one port from one device and both forwarding and remapping it to a different port on the NVR. As that’s exactly what it does from the end user perspective. Underneath I have no clue. iVMS is always looking for port 8000 (or whatever you have your SDK port set to)...

Outside of iVMS you can directly stream via the RTSP streaming URL but that is not something that would work within iVMS. If you are trying to break out individual cameras on the PoE side of the network and treat them as independent camera hosts on the main network, that will not work over the...

Hello from Toledo :) As mentioned above, Nelly’s is a great resource for both sales and support/customer service. I’ve used them in the past and the few times I reached out they were courteous and helpful. With the exception of the PTZ, all of the “NSC” labeled hardware is white label...

Interesting. I don’t risk it because I don’t want to accidentally brick a unit but generally each firmware has a 3 digit model code with which you can use to verify compatibility. A Q4 unit for example has a board ID of K74. I2 and K2 both have board IDs of K51, hence why people saw the firmware...

Hikvision didn’t permit downgrading last time I checked. It’s been a few years but that’s not surprising. If there are 4 settings in you config, 3 can’t use them so it’s procedural to clear them out.

Sorry, didn’t scroll up high enough! V4 K series had different file sizes, hashes, and time stamps from those on I series. They are not identical firmware. With that being said, K series is less powerful and cheaper than I series, which likely explains why it took them so long to release V4 and...

A few things I want to add more as just general info: - I’ve found on multiple occasions the NVR GUI does not accurately report settings from cameras. Dial into camera directly and it’s correct. Newer and older firmware alike - K series NVRs do have a version 4 firmware that is available if...

I recently purchased a batch of about 50 4MP chinese converted turrets from a seller on eBay. I reached out to my existing sellers as well and they seemed to have gone silent. Here was the vendor I used. Cameras work like any other. No issues working with US based NVRs (E series, K series, Q...

I’ve found the NVRs to still report FPS rates higher than what a camera supports. It’s a phantom option. If you select it, it should kick back with a parameter error. “Full frame rate” will give you the highest rate supported by the camera. You can’t extract a higher frame rate than what the...

What model are you using? 2385s? Those are 20FPS, not 30. https://www.hikvision.com/en/Products/Network-Camera/EasyIP-3.0/8MP/DS-2CD2385FWD-I Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven’t bothered with the USA firmware site in years. The versions were inconsistent with the other region sites and I started receiving devices running firmware newer than what they even offered, so I canned it. UK is my go-to now and it is the same exact firmware. As far as the V4 changes...

The latest firmware for I series NVRs is 4.0.21.008 which changes the onboard GUI interface, a completely retooled PC plugin (it’s no longer called web components) and other general improvements. (Compared to what you have now) Maybe worth a try...

This is the greatest thing I have read in sometime. Incredibly resourceful. I’ve recycled a very small number of cams due to corroded and damaged pigtails. I regret this now, but they were older 2-3MP cams and cheap enough it wasn’t that big of a deal, but still. I hate being wasteful. Thanks...

I have always purchased Hikvision OEM products so can’t offer a whole lot of insight on LTS. @milkisbad I believe works for LTS (or did, or somehow is associated with them from my past forum memory) so he’d be the one to contact regarding questions about LTS offerings. Sent from my iPhone...

K series are watered down I series and beefed up E series depending on how you look at it. It’s the modern middle ground/hybrid lovechild of E and I. I personally have found E series to struggle with 4MP feeds in certain scenarios. Seems bandwidth causes streaming issues with iVMS-4500 and...

I’ve never actually seen anyone come out and specify such details. Interesting. Generally LTS and other Hikvision rebrands have identical specs and near-Identical appearance because it is just that: a rebrand. The I series recorders are the only ones of this hardware class that are capable of...

This is generally not a spec you’re going to find on an embedded device unless such spec determined the product’s quality output with respect to user changes. Since Hikvision controls the firmware and the hardware, this detail has no bearing on anything for the most part because you can’t...

The strength of the password has no bearing on a hacker’s ability to compromise a system. It *might* make It slightly more difficult, but often that’s irrelevant. Simply for the fact that the port is open is enough to wreak havoc if a vulnerability exists. It’s VPN or nothing anymore for true...

I’ve had one issue years ago with a specific firmware upgrade tampering with user credentials. That hasn’t happened since and I’ve never had this issue once with any of the NVRs I’ve installed. I’ve worked with SE/SP series as well as E, I and K series and not one has had this issue. Out of...

That’s behaving like someone factory reset it either via a remote admin login or on the NVR admin GUI itself. Chances are you’ll need to set it up from scratch again unless you backed up the config elsewhere. Also, your model number isn’t complete. If it’s an E or K series NVR (7608NI-E2/8P, or...

Reset files are specific you your device serial number and time of day. They’re useless if either of those pieces of info changes or if you power cycle the device. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This was written before the E, I, and K series recorders came into existence due to firmware upgrades screwing up the user login info stored onboard. While the same procedure would apply, you’d be much better off contacting Hikvision regarding a password reset. If you’re using a Chinese device...

A VPN tunnels out, not in. Your external access is controlled beyond the Verizon network. Your remote NVR location merely becomes a client to the network outside of Verizon, and that network is where you have the freedom to port forward and such. $500 is a per-account charge for statics on any...

By all line I’m guessing you mean $500 per account, not per device/line of service? Also was this Verizon Business or personal? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any camera with a microSD slot and network connection is fully capable operating standalone. This is indicated by “F” in the Hikvision model number which represents flash storage. This most definitely should work. Those cube cameras are a great option since they’re self contained. Hikvision...

While I’ve never personally worked with the fisheyes due to the cost and lack of need, I see no reason why they would not work standalone. All modern Hikvision products are ONVIF compliant which by default would mean an NVR would not be required. If you just wanted to pull a stream from camera...

I have never had to issue statics over a wireless carrier, only wireline/fixed carriers (Spectrum/Comcast primarily), but since the point you’re requesting one is to be able to receive and process inbound traffic to an NVR, then yes you would be able to take care of the port forwarding once...
