Thanks trempa92. I plugged the hikcam into my router and proceeded to view settings over web browser. While I was doing so, the Dahua NVR discovered the Hikcam so I entered the password. Eventually an image appeared but it freezes for minutes at a time. Also my webpage freezes simultaneously...

My ipcam turns out to be 7 years old from Aliexpress. The webpage "could not be found"., so I wasnt able to verify details. Hikvision DS-2cd2032F-I 3MP Been totally trouble free and done 24/7 work for me over that time. Hik site says 2CD2032 is discontinued product. In addition the suffix is...

Trying to remember where the Hik cam came from, but I believe from Aliexpress. Best I not touch the firmware.? For now am going to fit a Dahua cam to the location because I need the view monitored...

Thanks for the great thoughts. Am looking at a number of ideas, thanks to TonyR Google search. Installed a DB meter on my smartphone. Holding it to the rear of the NVR shows 50 -55db, more if I move toward the PSU fan... Anyway a good reference to test possible improvements. A Noctua fan...

New NVR4208 with almost new 2TB HDD. Rather noisy. So it has 2 little fans but OK am comparing to old generic fanless NVR (RIP) although HDD is same. Old one was a lot more stealth. What can I do to reduce noise? I recall rubber mounting fans in a PC many years ago and it made a useful...

Old DS-2CD2032F on new Dahua NVR. My old generic NVR died and because 5 cameras are Dahua I went with a NVR4208. First thing I discover is Dahua NVR does not detect the Hik camera. Then I see Dahua have some sort of sub network for the Ipcams where they have them on 10.1.1.1 so I can't easily...

It's a calculated risk for sure but I went with Dahua cameras out of China Aliexpress. Yes they have hacked firmware which must not be updated, too far/expensive to send back and any backup may be difficult. I worked out it costs about 40% the price of the camera to post it back so I figure on...

How to Find the IP Address of Your PC IIRC, I had to deactivate security warnings in I.E. Also add the NVR Ip to I.E. trusted sites. I may have reduced the security level to medium for the site as well, can't remember exactly. It's at medium now anyways. Try that..

I have a similar story. I have a cheap Chinese NVR and two cameras which are all branded Besder. After 5 months the 2 cameras died. I already had a 3year old Hikvision bullet working on the same NVR. Then I bought a Dahua camera to go with it. It works too. Technically I suppose it depends on...

Perhaps start by reducing FPS...

Most welcome. I only added my "location" once you pointed out it wasn't listed... so you didn't actually miss it. Yes, the Menz sheds is a great concept. Am watching with interest. It's a shame the Ipcams aren't as good as the NVR. They cost $101 NZD (free ship) for the pair. They arrived in...

NZ I'm happy with it however it is my first NVR. (had a analog Fuho DVR before this). You may have read of my criticism of the CMS software supplied. I should comment about the way the software is written. It leaves a bit to be desired with user friendliness and the Chinese command of English...

It turns out there is no way of hard resetting these. They'd have to be sent back to China or at least the motherboards do. Given the cost of post I think just forget it.

Windows command prompt: arp -a This command from Windows command prompt has helped me find and identify devices on my network in the past. Hope this helps.

Oh, I nearly forgot... Studying the Hi3516, there's mention of POR (Power-on-reset) It's listed under 'peripheral interfaces'. According to Wiki, A power-on reset (PoR) generator is a microcontroller or microprocessor peripheral that generates a reset signal when power is applied to the device...

Good idea. Only I don't have another POE injector, switch or NVR. The cameras are only POE, no DC jack. There is another Ip camera still operating via the NVR POE. It's an older Hikvision. The network cable running to it has flashing leds at the RJ45 whereas the 2 unresponsive IPcameras, their...

Searching around on this issue I note the chip is fairly common. Most of the "reset" talk is about lost password... but I can't even get to a log in page. I've run Onvif Device Manager, IP Search, arp -a ...nothing. Shame because as recent as last night I had the opportunity to do a hard reset...

Thanks Looney2ns, I should have done that. Unfortunately the cameras have now stopped working and aren't returning IP addresses. They are receiving power because IR is working. Onvif Device Manager doesn't detect them either. At this moment I think I need to factory reset them but can't find a...

Two IP cameras can suffer configuration settings loss when power is disconnected or at auto-reboot. It's happened about 4- 5 times since May. Auto-reboot is Tuesday 3:00am. NVR reboots at 1:00 same day. Behaviour isn't always identical. Sometimes IP address is changed, sometimes not. I've done...

Interesting, thanks. The situation here is it's much more convenient to use CMS rather than a monitor off the NVR. Of course that will all change when the cables get here however it would be good to have access from elsewhere on the network. What I've noticed is there's more control via monitor...

Thanks for joining in. Good to know you dropped H.265 When my cable parts turn up, I'll retry H.265. It seems like there's a lot to like about it. Given that it's new tech it may be that not everything is up to speed with it yet. BTW, I've searched high and low through the CMS program. There's...

Thanks for the thoughts. As I understand it H.264 and H.265 are video compression standards designed to boost streaming. The latter is the newer and takes up less HDD space IIRC. I'm assuming that if I set the NVR to H.264 compression it will record in that mode, the downside being the extra...

I have a fairly new 8ch H.265 Besder NVR with 2 Besder Ipcams. It came with CMS software which is installed on a PC in the home network. I've waited till I have a reasonable grip of the systems' capability before posting so I've done quite a bit of study and poking around. Query/problem. If I...

Am not any closer to solving the puzzle of how to get the router VPN setup (from behind CGNat). Can anyone point to a tutorial? Meantime I found this very good tutorial on setting up XMeye not that I need it. This is already working here but f I had this info at the start... Putting here in...

I've been studying the situation but I'm in need of some help. They way I understand it is the home IP address is shared because it's behind CGnat. Therefore I can't forward any ports, so even DDNS is unavailable as well. How to set up a router (HG659) with VPN in this case? Please advise...

Thanks for thoughts. I read the secure network wiki with great interest. Big warning there is don't use port forwarding. There's a lot of talk about modern routers having built-in VPN. Indeed the router does have L2P2, IPsec. So the question is: can the HG659 router VPN be used successfully...

I've got a Chinese Besder NVR and IPcamera system up and running on XMeye for a homeowner. I've been asked to do the best I can do with what is there. The system runs quite well and was easier to setup than I was anticipating. Even XMeye wasn't too bad. Once I'd figured out their way of doing...

I received my NVR just a few days ago. According to listing pics it was equipped with hdmi only but it came with vga as well. This time it worked out nicely as I really didn't have a spare hdmi monitor. Can you borrow a hdmi monitor to help eliminate/isolate/diagnose the problem?

I have a Viewsonic monitor that "goes to sleep" if I attempt to set nvr with 1920x1080 resolution. Looking at monitor spec it only goes to 1440 × 900. Could this be your problem also?

I've been given the task of getting a cheap Chinese NVR set up and running. It proved to be nowhere near as bad as I was anticipating. The Besder nvr worked right out of the box along with 2 Besder cams. A 3rd Hik camera eventually yielded and that works as well. Xmeye worked once I figured out...
