    hikvisions sending test email but not sending trigger emails.

    Everything has been working great on my two DS-2CD2132F-IS hikvision cams, then recently one of my camera's stopped sending email, and shortly afterwards the other one did. Both are up and running when i log into them directly and i am able to view live footage and read off the SD card. I...

    iVMS4500 HD doesn't work. Error Code: 44

    Another problem today. The software for these hikvisions are really about as unreliable as you can get ! Anyway, on today's menu, I have iVMS4500 HD (which is the iPad version) that doesn't work... I know the camera's are up, (when they decide too ! cos 10% of the time, the web interface...

    Exposing to the internet.

    I hear the 'its bad practice' to expose our camera's to the internet frequently. But what makes HIKVISIONS so much more vulnerable ? What about the 50million XBOX's and Playstations out there? (most likely via uPnP) They also need exposing to the internet. Or any of the millions upon...

    Emailing photo's.... Better configuration options?

    Hi, I've setup a dedicated gmail email account, and setup the EMail tab successfully. I've added the include attachment and it does email me every time either of my DS-2CD2132F-IS's detect movement... It sends me three pictures... After playing around with the intervals from 2S, 4S and 5S...

    EZVIZ Does it not work ?

    Was hoping for a quick easy way around port for port forwarding. (yes I know that uPnP is a potential security vulnerability.) But I like the convenience. Anyway, was hoping this EZVIZ and uPnP being active on my router would have been my way to enable remote viewing. However even though...

    Kill-a-watt results

    For anyone that cares... A typical Hikvision IP camera (on its own POE injector) uses approx 5w in night mode, and approx 3.3w in day mode. Depending on your area, a 100w constant a month is around $10 worth of electricity. I suspect an NVR draws a lot more than the camera. Could be...

    EZVIZ ? Who uses it or is it generally not recommended ?

    Yep new to IP cams... Just rec'd two DS-2CD2132F-IS's to which I'm going to just use the SD Card instead of an NVR. For remote access, i noticed EZVIZ, and its free app on iOS. Is the caveat to this, that it uses uPnP ? Is there a monthly subscription ? There's no mention of one on...

    SD Cards Longevity question

    Hi, So i've read that SD cards are notoriously unreliable in DashCams and IP camera's, being the heat and constant writes. Apparently Sandisk make one that's somewhat more durable to the higher / colder temps. Just wondering, what has your experience been with an SD card's longevity. I'm...
