Hi @looney2ns - in your initial set of pictures, there is a wire harness with red and black wires, is that to power the camera using the existing doorbell wiring? I am speaking with Andy to get one but use it over wifi as I don't have POE at my doorbell. Thanks!

Thank you for this . I picked up a 1030 for a decent price (low profile as I needed it as well), went from ~3500ms to ~125ms. Amazing! Also love the custom models provided by @MikeLud1

This worked for me to get the emails working after google made the change. Thanks!!

Hello, I recently setup my Blue Iris server, and have setup the motion alerts I required. When I go to trigger the alert, setup as push notifciations. It says successful to the iPad, nothing to the iPhone. I did ensure it was checked off in the mobile devices tab. Thanks!

Hello, I have some older swann IP cameras. I believe they are rebranded Hikvision - SWNHD-820CAM. I also have another hikvision camera - DS-2CD2532F-IS I have been trying to add them into BI but not having any luck. I have tried as Generic/ONVIF but no luck still. They do show up in ONVIF...

Hey Guys, Following the advice here, I've installed a demo of BI on my laptop. i am trying to add these swann/hikvision cameras but no combination of URL/IP/Port is working. The camera models are: DS-2CD2532F-IS & SWNHD-820CAM I figured adding a hikvision camera should be pretty simple.

Thanks so much guys!! Excited to get started with BI. Now have to have that talk with my wife after many great years with the current cameras even through very cold winters.

Thanks. Since BI allows me to re-use my current cameras, I will go this route. Can anyone advise if the BI app supports two way audio on an IP cam that has the featuresuch as the ones EmpireTech sells.

Thanks for the reply. I have looked into it however I would have to get a new Windows PC to run it, which might be quite costly comparing to replace the NVR. I'm open to your advice to get into BI though.

Hello, I currently have a Swann branded NRV/IP Cam setup that has worked great for many years however the notifications for IVMS app stopped worked recently due to their server shutdown/decommisioning. I have not been able to get the notifications working in hik-connect and have been now...

Hi Andy, I am looking to expand my system, and move some of the current cameras. Do you ship to Canada? Also, I have an older Swann branded Hikvision NVR - it supports onvif. Would one of the newer IP cams like the Empiretech 4k 8MP likely work with it? Thanks!

no specific issues with the current FW however i do have issues with the motion detection setup between the NVR and the cameras themselves from time to time. Just not too happy with the Swann FW, wanted to know if it possible to flash with hikvision fw. THANKS!!

Hello, I have a swann NVR purchased from Costco. Since it is a rebranded hikvision can the fw be upgraded/flashed with newer hikvision fw? thanks!!

I was looking for a reliable doorbell solution last year and came across the doorbot and skybell products however when I read reviews many ppl said it was not reliable and spotty wireless etc. i decided to create my own using a hikvision camera with alarm and audio inputs. I ran the...

you need a speaker, that is all, hook it up to A and GND.

Yes I & O are working fine with camera recording 24/7 for over 9 months now.

Hello Everyone, New to this forum, but started reading about the new Hikvision firmware, and stumbled on this. Last year I installed the DS-2CD2532F-IS on my front porch, and used the Alarm input, trigger by my front doorbell via an elk sensitive relay, to notify via the hikvision app, as well...
