    HikVision SMB/CIFS Issues - A Summary of Fixes

    Thanks for taking the time to write this up. It seems helpful but I still can’t figure out my problem. Three things: 1. the link above (to 525 NAS Patch) is broken. My HDD is 4TB so it seems I need this patch! 2. I have a Raspberry Pi set up as Samba NAS. How can I tell if is is SMB v1 or 2...

    Why hack a camera

    Genuine question ... why do people bother trying to hack into CCTV? Is it just because they can? So they get to see a boring video feed of my driveway. I don’t really get it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hikvision camera admin password reset tool

    That would be the problem SADP showed the cameras as 192.0.0.x PC IP is 192.168.86.y Used this URL "http://192.0.0.4/System/configurationFile?auth=YWRtaW46MTEK" And response was site can't be reached, took too long to respond. I was able to successfully export the .XML key request files from SADP.
