Well I was guessing on the cam price. When you mentioned how cheap they should have been, I got even more angry. Then I went back to track down my original purchase at B&H back in 2015. It was two identical Swann kits at $1100 each, where each kit had 8-channel NVR, 2TB HDD, and 8 of the...

Just thought I would post an update for this. TL;DR-->Go to (***THE QUESTION***) Even after connecting directly to the CD2132 camera's web interface, I still see only two options for Display Mode in the OSD Settings: Not transparent and not flashing, Not transparent and flashing. This is so...

Thanks--appreciate all of your help! Yes, I assume I'm the only human being on the planet that wants to see 9:24 PM instead of 21:24, etc. The should just not even give you the option--just force everyone to use 24 hour time, if that's all that you're capable of getting right. Definitely will...

Thanks, and I'll have mine plugged into a UPS so hopefully no issues. One last thing, if I may--you seem very knowledgeable. Right now, with latest NVR firmware and cam firmware, when I set the time format to 12 hour in the OSD settings (from the NVR), when it is midnight-anything, the time...

OK, and any issues with those changes made directly via the cam's interface not showing up in the footage, or not being retained if the DVR loses power, or the NVR not finding the cams after a power failure (if you have changed settings directly via the camera's web interface)?

Thank you, Sir. I will have to figure out how to connect directly to each camera--hopefully I can do that with the cameras still plugged into the POE switch built into the NVR. I've seen a few ways of going about that, from just enabling Virtual Host option and using IE browser, changing a PC's...

So I decided to just assume/hope that my cams are the DS-2CD2132-I cams. I downloaded the available firmware for that cam from Hikvision's site (on page for discontinued cameras). I successfully upgraded the firmware, one by one in order, from these firmwares listed on Hikvision's website (the...

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure about accessing the camera directly--I don't have a POE switch, aside from the one built into the DVR, and I don't have an external power supply to plug into the power pigtail on the camera. So I will have to work at accessing one of the cameras directly to...

I thought the same thing based on looking at the images of discontinued cameras, and focusing on the 3MP ones: Network Camera But I don't know if it's the vandal resistant model (DS-2CD2132F-I) or the vandal proof model (DS-2CD2132F-IWS). And it's not just the dome that's presumably...

I want to update the camera firmware. I am curious if updating the firmware will affect some issues I'm seeing with the OSD/overlay settings. Swann's firmware update page is useless. It lists like one camera. And besides, these cameras were purchased new in 2016 and they're discontinued now. So...

I have some (identical) Swann IP POE dome cameras that I'm about to use with a Hikvision NVR. From what I understand, Swann cameras are just rebranded Hikvision. These cameras have been sitting for a while, unused, and I can't find any info/upgrades for the cameras on Swann's website/support...
