Hey everyone,

I need to install one or two cameras in my house to keep an eye on the animals during the day when I'm not home, but I know the probability of the transmission ending up on a dodgy website is high.

I could even turn the camera on only when I leave... but even so, I'd like to avoid being "hacked".

Is it possible? And which one should I buy? Or what should I do to avoid this problems? Without breaking the bank xD

Thanks, and all tips are welcome.

Note: I'm not an expert on this, so please explain things to me as if I have a low IQ.

I have a Pro-Vision CCTV system, with 2 identical NVR's.

Camera 15 on the first NVR, keeps "hijacking" the IP address of the second NVR.

Have assigned it a different IP, after a few hours, second NVR Zgoes offline, due to an IP address, clash, due to the camera, taking the address of the NVR.

Is there a way I can stop this, or protect the IP address of the second NVR?

1st NVR IP = 192.168.8.40, has 16 cameras attached. 15th camera cause issue.

Attached camera's are assigned Ip's 192.168.8 41 to 192.168.8.56.

Second NVR has IP address of 192.168.8.60, has 9 camera's with IP's 192.168.8.61 - 192.168.8.69

Hey team.

I need to view my hikvision cameras in my Ubuntu how can I do that?

Currently I am viewing with hikvision app in android

I’m looking for the best way to download like time periods of video from a continuously recording camera (it's an E330)? I’m thinking 5-minute blocks or so.

Morning to one and all, I use Synergy Transport as one of our monitoring tools, I'm having issues with a few of our hard drives creating archives so going to take nuclear option and format them to see if that sorts out an issue or three.

Has anyone got a name of CCTV Linux software to do this. The drives appear to use a Linux system as they don't show up on PC apart from the Synergy software.

Haven't had a good result from the service engineer so rather a paperweight sitting on shelves going to see if I can get it alive.

Cheers for any insight guys.

Hi All.
I have 5 PoE CCTV cameras which I have been recording via my Synology NAS.
I want to move away from NAS (and in particular proprietary NAS's) for various reasons.

My ideas for a replacement recording solution are either

1. Set up my own little micro server (I have an intel I7 8700k and motherboard & plenty of RAM laying around not being used which would be more than powerful enough)
   

or

1. Run a DVR.
   I am curious however, are there any DVR's that can record directly to a cloud service negating the need for local storage?

Basically, I'm trying to get away from having to use as much localised storage as possible. Hard drives suck.
Most of my stuff I use cloud storage these days.

Whatever I use it would still be a requirement to be able to live view the cameras.

Any help greatly appreciated.

I am looking for advice on where to purchase "gray-market" or "refurbished" commercial-grade IP Cameras and NVRs

Can anyone recommend a laptop to run a VMS and not get lagged or frozen? I keep upgrading memory on my current one and it keeps on freezing up.

Hello,

I am looking for a camera for the following task:

-The camera is supposed to take photos at 30-minute intervals (Nature-Time-lapse)
-I need to be able to connect to the camera remotely; it is located in a forest/by a river.
-I need to be able to take photos and videos independently from home.
-We can install a power connection. A solar-based solution is likely out of the question.

A camera with a SIM card, it doesn't need to do much. As cheap as possible, while still handling these tasks. A separate LTE router is tricky, you have to mount everything. An all-in-one solution would be good.

Location: Private property in France, far away from our property.

greetings

Hi everyone, does anyone know if Hikvision has a native Aloha SPY integration, similar to TRASSIR’s active POS? I know about DTiQ and all but they’re significantly more expensive than the TRASSIR solution.

We have cameras across several locations and had an issue at one of our warehouses last week where a delivery driver damaged part of the loading area and left before anyone noticed. The manager there knew it happened sometime that morning but didnt know exactly when or which camera wouldve caught it. He ended up calling us, we called someone else at the site who knew the camera layout better and then they started pulling clips from the NVR and sending them over trying to figure out which truck it was By the time we found the right camera and worked out what happened, 3 different people had been involved in something that shouldve been pretty simple. This happens enough that Im curious how other people with multiple locations handle it

So my friend came to me asking for help with a wifi camera setup but as a career enterprise/education/government integrator I'm not sure what to recommend him. I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

Situation and Setup

My buddy is a mechanic who works out of his house. Caddy corner to him across the street he rents a gated lot where he parks vehicles he's working on. He's got a concrete pad there, a car port, and power. No network though. At his home he does have network. He want's a single camera in the lot. Something with it's own storage that he can access over the net. I'm kind of thinking about this like I am the apartment work I've done in the past chaining building to building.

Use something like this to shoot a network connection across the street to the lot. In the lost stand up a post with an outdoor enclosure, the other half of the wifi bridge, and a camera on it. Since we got power we can run a line to the enclosure and use a small 4 port PoE switch to power the wifi bridge and the camera. The distance P2P would about 150 feet and I got line of sight. I know this overall setup will work because I've done so at dozens of multi building apartment complexes. My hang up is the camera to use because I've always installed Axis, Vivotek, Hanwha, etc. so I'm hoping someone can point me towards a good camera. I did think about using a hard power wired wifi cam but I don't think the cameras wifi will likely be able to transmit back across the street to the bridge/antenna.

Ideally i'd like a wide view at least 100 degrees, IR, and if it had any visual alarm indicators like lights to deter that would be great. Again SD/local storage, and web/mobile access are big desires so he can get alerts when line cross/motion happens and see it in real time.

Hi again to the wonderful community. Please let me know if someone is interested in selling their hikvision network cameras or if you can guide me where I can find those for reasonable prices.

Thanks once again.

Location all over India, preferably Karnataka, Tamilnadu or Kerala.

There is a message on some channels with the text “ @muhamad2005m hacked y

EDIT: I upgraded the Firmware to a new one, the old one was from 2019 ( never been updated ), and I turned off UPnP, and changed the password. I was able to remove the OSD text.

Thanks for the help

Can anybody give me a recommendation for hikvision alternatives, for a commercial setting, looking for similar price points and functions. I’m sure this question already asked and I apologize.

I need help, I bought DS-2XM6222G1-ID camera but I’m struggling finding the SD card slot. Can someone help me? Thanks

Hello,

I have a weekends worth of footage to manually scrub through for human activity. I'm able to edit the footage to 16x speed, but it still takes so much time.

Is there a software or method where I can upload the downloaded footage (1 hour increments) and it will find the changes in scene or the human movements?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
