Pulling my weight
You can never have too many spares.
Might have to start selling some of them. I have a couple of new ESC's that are still in the original boxes and never been installed. Welcome on board. I was waiting for you to finally give in
Looks like they sold quite a few of these now and gaining popularity. So far the ones I have are working great, except annoying motion detection which sending out tons of false alarms. Frankly, after initial setup I am no longer using PTZ functions, they are static.
Yeah, I couldn't take it anymore after reading all the positive reviews in this thread. Good thing I wasn't drinking last night or I probably would have ordered a half dozen of them.
Thanks djangel,
The gateway address is only used for IP traffic destined to hosts outside of the local network. So, any traffic staying on my 192.168.1.0/24 should not be using the gateway address. I Just double checked my HIKs and I have .254 for the GW on all but one of them which has 0.0.0.0. as the GW. They all work fine. And you are correct, my actual GW is 192.168.1.1
Since I can ping the camera, poorly but I can ping it, and I get a login prompt from my browser, the camera is reachable on my network. It's just not good enough to connect due to the packet drops and bad latency.
I see it as a connected device on my Netgear switch ( 192.168.1.200 58:04:CB:10:2B:F1 ).
It's behaving like a duplex/speed mismatch. I'll take it to work this morning and connect it to a Cisco switch so I can see how it's negotiating to the switch.
I appreciate everyone's input and will let you guys know what I find.
I think mine has developed a fault
The picture has just become blurry all of a sudden
I've tried the obvious with the focus, iris and lens initialization but not worked even tried I reset.
I noticed last night that the picture settings seemed to have gone out of wack even though they were still set to the values I'd set them to.
For example gain was set to 10 but on the actual picture it was more or less 100
You can definitely tell the difference in the day pictures as it seems like it's way out of focus but yet no setting nor resets cure the issue
I'm hoping it's not a hardware fault and it can be sorted

I had similar issues where the camera would drop off the network randomly, sometimes minutes, hours or even a few days and it would come back itself. I mentioned it somewhere in this thread. In the log, it would show net err. I crimped a new cable thinking it was my bad crimping and same thing was happening. Ended up not liking my router cause when I hooked it up on my switch, problem went away.

I really need to refresh my networking skills
I did the same with my camera. I lost access to it when I did this. I could still log into the camera with Internet Explorer, but all the "fields or settings" in it's browser pages were blank. I couldn't even do a "Reset" or "Default" from the "Maintenance" tab. I tried from 2 other computers with the same result. I even tried using SADP to change the setting back, but this didn't work either. My solution was to log in with "FireFox. For some unknown reason, I was able to login to the camera and access all settings. So I started over by resetting the camera to the default settings. I have had no problems with the camera except for the vertical position changing slightly in some of my presets.
The funny thing is, my camera has been rock solid on my network. No drop offs, or loss of connection since it's been installed.
I think this was brought up before and the reason is the plugin must be loaded before the settings come up. Sounds like internet explorer was blocking the plugin?

Do you know what version is this? Also is there a release notes?
Ok guys, I'm pretty sure mine is just bad. Connecting to a Cisco switch in my lab made no difference. It was negotiating correctly at full duplex and 100M with no errors. I tried every combination hard configuring the negotiation with 1/2 duplex and 10 and 100M. Each time it would connect with no errors but the drops and high response times to ping persist.
I'm still getting a login prompt but get a the "Network Anomaly" error when entering credentials. I get that error with admin/admin or in fact any credentials I enter.
I took it completely apart looking for a "reset" button.. there isn't one. Re-seated all the ribbons cables and connectors but it didn't help.
Guess I just drew the short straw on this one.

You may have, but I wouldn't give up hope that this is a bad configuration issue. Did you get in touch with Monica?

I'm not sure about this. Internet Explorer had been working fine with the camera before I changed the setting. Would changing the port then cause the plugin to stop working? Maybe someone else might know.
Sort of, she's having a little trouble understanding "factory reset".
I'm pretty confident it's not a configuration problem though unless making the IP change with the Hikvision SADP did something funky.

As I recall I had address detected as 169.254.XXX.XXX when I was messing around with it
I'm guessing explorer cached the page. Did you try and delete history and cookies? Just checking you were access the page with HTTP://ipaddress

Yes, without adding the port I could not login at all. I did delete history and cookies. I also tried reloading the plugin. But I also tried from 2 other Windows computers too. Anyway, at least I got working again.
Anyone get it to record to an SD card? I have a 16gb microSD in my camera, it is recognized and was formatted in my Huisun but even with motion detection on 100% sensitivity and telling it to record to SD it doesn't seem to be recording anything on it.
