    On NVR Reboot (or power failure) Cameras lose their Arming Schedule!

    In case anyone is having a similar issue , that is, after a power outage the 'Arming Schedule' for Smart Events resorts back to a 24 hour schedule from whatever it was previously set to (oddly this is the only parameter affected!), I have solved it by creating a Python script on my Raspberry...

    Accessing Hikvision API to change setting on DS-2CD2342WD-I ??

    Thanks for the reply... I believe that I have most of your points already setup: - Virtual Host was already enabled on the NVR - Accessing the NVR with iVMS-4200 (Device Management --> Remote Configuration --> Camera --> Modify) it shows the camera parameters which shows 'Manual' . The...

    Accessing Hikvision API to change setting on DS-2CD2342WD-I ??

    I have several cameras (all model DS-2CD2342WD-I) behind an NVR (DS-7608NI-E2 / 8P). I am trying to figure out how I can modify some of the settings of the cameras using the API. As an example, I am trying to figure out how I enable or disable the smart events Line Crossing . Using a...

    DS-7608NI-E2/8P: iVMS-4200 Main View very slow in large window! Thoughts?

    Here is my setup: My NVR is a DS-7608NI-E2/8P (4TB drive); (firmware: V3.4.92 build 170518). I have 7 cameras all are DS-2CD2342WD-I (firmware: V5.5.0 build 170725) - 6 of the 7 cameras are connected to the POE ports with 192.168.254.x addresses. - The other camera is on my home network and...

    Updated NVR firmware published - NVR_78_79_EXX_V3.4.80_160718.zip

    I have looked for v3.2.1 and cannot find it either! I guess I will have to try to upgrade from v3.0.8 to v3.3.2!

    No I have not done anything yet as I was waiting for the connectors to attach to the NVR's UART. I did receive the pieces but unfortunately my NVR is at my cottage! I plan to bring the NVR home soon to start the process but I am trying to setup a temporary camera system so that I can see what...

    DS-2CD2142FWD-IS Power Supply?

    Thanks for your post... however I went ahead and bought the power supply suggested by Alistair. The location of the camera lends itself well to using a power supply, so I'm happy with this setup.

    DS-2CD2142FWD-IS Power Supply?

    I bought this camera sometime ago with the intent to connect it to my Hikvision NVR powered via PoE. However now I want to place it in a location that cannot be powered with the PoE. So I need to buy a 12 VDC power supply. The specs say... Power Supply: | 12 VDC ± 25%, PoE (802.3af Class3)...

    Updated NVR firmware published - NVR_78_79_EXX_V3.4.80_160718.zip

    Ok... I have figured out how to set up a NAS drive and copied over the mtdblock2. mtdblock0, and mtdblock1 files, to the NAS, from my NVR (DS-7632N-E2/8p NVR - FW v.3.0.8, build 140825). I now am considering trying to upgrade the firmware... here is what I know so far: - NVR has AARR in serial...

    Need Help Setting up NAS HDD on Raspberry to move files from Hikvision NVR

    Ok I got it working... I first went on to the configuration of one of my cameras and was able to set up the NAS as a drive! So I knew that my NAS set up was actually working. So I went back to the NVR config to try again. I manually entered the ip address of the Raspberry (192.168.254.33)...

    Need Help Setting up NAS HDD on Raspberry to move files from Hikvision NVR

    I have a DS-7632N-E2/8p NVR (FW v.3.0.8, build 140825) which I am trying to download the mtdblock files from. I am considering trying to upgrade my NVR's firmware, so I want to save the critical files so that, in the event that it doesn't work, I can get back to where I am today. I am trying to...

    Updated NVR firmware published - NVR_78_79_EXX_V3.4.80_160718.zip

    @alastairstevenson The European website doesn't have the FW version 3.21. Will an upgrade from v3.0.8 directly to v3.34 work? (assuming that my NVR = CN accepts an upgrade!) Before I attempt any upgrade I will make sure that I have a copy of mtdblock2. Do I have to get to v3.4.62 to enable...

    Another Thread about Email Problems!

    I apologize up front if this issue has been resolved... but I cannot find a solution that gets my email notifications working! I I have a DS-7632N-E2/8p NVR (FW v.3.0.8, build 140825) and 4 cameras running at my cottage - 2 x DS-2CD2032-I (FW - v.5.2.5) - 1 x DS-2CD2132F-IS (FW - v.5.30) -...

    Updated NVR firmware published - NVR_78_79_EXX_V3.4.80_160718.zip

    I recognize that... but my question was "I am trying this command remotely (home -> cottage)", so obviously not from the same network. I was wondering if this had an impact on why I was getting the "Can't locate the url" message. My guess is that I don't need the login / password, and that...

    Updated NVR firmware published - NVR_78_79_EXX_V3.4.80_160718.zip

    Out of curiosity, I am trying this command remotely (home -> cottage), do I have to incorporate a login / password into the http://nvr_ip_address/SDK/language ?

    Updated NVR firmware published - NVR_78_79_EXX_V3.4.80_160718.zip

    Given that my cameras reported back as "English" (from http://camera_ip_address/SDK/language), and my NVR's serial number includes AARR does this mean that I should or should not worry about language mismatch on firmware upgrades?

    Full access to cameras via Hikvision NVR?

    Would you please explain this concept... if I were to set up a Raspberry PI as a router what would I connect to the router and how would that router fit into my network?

    Full access to cameras via Hikvision NVR?

    My NVR is a DS-7632N-E2/8p NVR (FW v.3.0.8, build 140825) which from another thread you told me is old enough to have telnet enabled. However, this is a non-starter given that the setting doesn't survive a reboot! My NVR and cameras are at a remote location (cottage) that loses power from time...

    Full access to cameras via Hikvision NVR?

    Thanks for the quick reply... If I change a local computer temporarily to 192.168.254.100 then I do get access but I don't need the extra ethernet cable attached to the router to make this work. Simply connecting a laptop to one of the POE ports allows me this access. My issue is that I would...

    Full access to cameras via Hikvision NVR?

    I realize that this is an old thread(!) but I'm currently at that point where I am trying to access my IP cameras which are connected to my NVR. My NVR's firmware doesn't support Virtual Host. My cameras and NVR have been set up for some time now and the cameras have the NVR's IP address...
