Thanks Andy, more info can be found here, it looks like HikVision is also affected (not acknowledged by HikVision):

Wonder if it has anything to do with the Wikileaks - CIA issue? Both manufacturers at the same time?

more like they all use the same probably super old linux in their cameras and never update anything for security only performance and features so now you find the same vuln is on probably most brands out there, just have not been tested yet.

So how do these cams compare to others once the NR is turned off? I was quite shocked when I disabled it - I couldn't handle the temporal ghosting with it on.

Ghosting occurs when you set NR too high...this is the same for many cameras..

Always tradeoffs with settings lol.

Would the IPC- HFW5231E-Z be affected as well?

Is there any way to test for this vulnerability ourselves?

 

[EMPIRETECANDY]

no problem for the hfw5231e-z, you can't test it.

Thanks for sharing for a noob like me it really helps emphasize the importance of having a VPN. I have orders pending with Andy and he has been fully transparent on the issues so good on him as well.

 

[Sander kerkhoff]

yes, was about to order the hdw5231r-z from him, guess i have to wait a little longer
In the meantime i am looking for 2 more non ptz cameras, preferably under $100, can anyone advice me?

 

[hmjgriffon]

I think you guys are worrying way too much about having vulnerable cameras, like they will be hacked and your life will be ruined, just use a VPN and don't do stupid stuff.

You are not understanding the risk. Once someone has access to a device on your network everything on your network has the potential of being compromised.

I am waiting for 2 IPC-HFW5231E-Z.

Gotcha. Haven't had time to read up on it. Been shoveling snow and just jumped in to the conversation. That is quite serious.

great news from Qnap for NAS users:


We have finished the Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z camera integration .

Please let me know the current firmware version including build No. of this TS-453A . we will prepare a Surveillance Station beta with IPC-HDW5231R-Z support as soon as possible .

Thank you
Best regards

you can find calculators online where you pop in your mp, bit rate, etc. and how many cams and days you want to store and it will tell you how much space you need.

How would i need to set it (and on which sites) if i have this cam and the SD59 PTZ?; what do i fill in? I bought 2x WD Purple, 4TB to put in my NAS (i also learned i don't need RAID)
I think based on the readings on this site 15fps is more then enough; 24/7 recording; H264 with VBR?

 

[Sander kerkhoff]

Is this the same camera, with Dome housing?
