    Need help finding an NVR for a bunch of Hikvisions

    Thank you alastairstevenson The QNAP is a X251+. I believe the BIOS failed to update. The LEDs light up, but the unit will not post. I followed this guide on the QNAP forums and tried using my Raspberry PI's GPIO port connected to the 251's JSPI1 port, but the BIOS fails to verify after erasing...

    Need help finding an NVR for a bunch of Hikvisions

    Hey, I'm looking for some suggestions for a dedicated NVR, but I'm not sure what would be a good model. I have some older Hikvision 2CD2442 cube cameras currently running that I would like to record and possibly add more cameras or buy an NVR that includes cameras. I was using a QNAP NAS with...

    Dahua PTZ Stuttering in Live View and Playback

    Hey Camb989, someone else will have to speak to your question about the number of cameras, but my immediate thought on your PTZs is the settings. If your framerate is set too high, you could be taxing the camera's processor, which can contribute to stuttering. Also, check the PTZs for their...

    Cannot flip pciture on PTZ1A225U-IRA-N

    Hey, I'm having trouble figuring out how to flip the picture. I thought the setting would be right under picture, but it's not. The View Angle Drop down has no options, it is stuck on Auto. Can anyone help me?

    Which ports to forward for dahua ptz?

    The camera will list it's ports under the Network section of the web interface. You should be able to forward whatever port you want externally as long as the camera is listening on the appropriate internal port. You might also try the UPnP function on the camera to automatically map the ports...

    Dahua cam dropping off the network each night.

    Removing the "Green" switch is more of a precaution independent of this issue. You know there is something suspicious about the Zidoo X9S, but yet, you put it back on your network. You've basically ignored the pattern, repeated the same action, and expected a different result. Good luck with...

    Dahua cam dropping off the network each night.

    That D-Link will work. I can understand your apprehension about updating the firmware. I've had the same experience. Some things change and others don't. We're seeing more fail-safe features now, but just as fenderman mentioned, firmware can fix one thing and break another. With my old Dahua...

    Dahua cam dropping off the network each night.

    That's a good point. My thought process was more on the internal side of the network, such as a vulnerability to something innocuous (not necessarily malicious), like incompatible requests that cause the camera to behave abnormally - which I suppose is more of a bug.

    Dahua cam dropping off the network each night.

    What would be the point of a firmware update then? The changelogs often note fixes and additional features, so that's not correct?

    Dahua C46 or Hikvision DS-2CD2463G0-I(W)?

    Be careful when considering inexpensive equipment. You get what you pay for, to a limit (the tech industry does tend to gouge, which is why I recommend Andy because he is ethical). The problem with inexpensive equipment is the manufacturers cut corners in many ways to bring the price down, and...

    Dahua cam dropping off the network each night.

    Like software, I prefer to keep the firmware on my cameras as up to date as possible. There is an argument against updating firmware, but I see the matter as the potential to fix bugs and vulnerabilities. In the picture you posted, that switch is a Trendnet Green, which concerns me slightly...

    Dahua cam dropping off the network each night.

    Keep an eye on it before you declare the problem solved. I still recommend you upgrade the firmware on the Dahua. If the pattern is the two devices disconnect when the Vorke V2 is connected to the network, then you know that two things are happening; one, the Vorke is broadcasting something at a...

    Sorry, here's the link you want. You'll want theDH_IPC-HX2X3X-Rhea_EngSpnFrn_N_V2.622.0, that's the NTSC version with a logo IPC-HDW2231R-ZS latest new firmware 20180813

    Try the other, it's also English (NTSC), but the camera is probably not compatible

    Dahua cam dropping off the network each night.

    Since it's the 2.640.0000002.0.R, it's probably compatible with the newer 2018-8-13 firmware. Try updating it. Latest New 20180813 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea I was having a similar issue with an older Dahua dropping off my network for a couple years. I thought it was just going bad, but I...

    Dahua C46 or Hikvision DS-2CD2463G0-I(W)?

    I've looked at one of those as an easy in-door camera, but the main problem is that the camera does not use Power over Ethernet. Even if you plan on using its WiFi function (which is a bad idea), you would still need a nearby power source. As far as camera functions, my guess is that the...

    Dahua cam dropping off the network each night.

    What switch is that Leviton switch plugged into and why can't it be removed? Also, what switch are you NAS's plugged into, the other HDHOmeRun, as well as the Vorke (and the other two micro PC's), plus the Zidoo X9S? Also, is your main router an Asus or Trendnet? Your first post said it was an...

    IPC-HDW5231R-Z semi-bricked - can ping and upgrade firmware but can't login

    What region of firmware are you trying to use? Also, when you say you tried to log-in, how were you trying to login? Were you using the browser? Is it possible you have an IP conflict with some other device using 192.168.1.108? That would explain getting a ping response, just not from the device...

    Reasons for recording H.265 rather than H.264

    Hi. I'm using QNAP's QVR Pro, which limits the user to viewing 14 days worth of footage. If storage space is not a concern with that limit, is there any reason to use H.265 over H.264? From my research, it looks like H.265 may produce a better quality picture in general, but I'm not sure if that...

    Andy is a charitable guy! Thank you Andy!

    I don't post a lot, but I want to hop on here and thank Andy. I work for a non-profit organization that helps low-income families. Andy donated a Dahua camera! I received it today with his fast shipping, as usual. This was very kind of Andy and very much appreciated.
