    Script to Reboot Hikvision IP Cam

    There is no damage done to the NVR nor the hard drives during a power outage. When power reestablishes, the recording simply starts from a fresh file.

    DS-2DF9C848LXG1-LW

    FCC stopped issuing permits for Hikvision equipment released after 2022. Meaning that nobody can import new Hikvision cameras/nvrs/etc, even for private use. This is why this PTZ camera is discontinued worldwide, yet still sold here: Worldwide: DS-2DF8C842IXG-ELW USA: DS-2DF8C842IXG-ELW But...

    Tail Scale VPN

    I used Zerotier. It turned to garbage. Tailscale has much more features. You install a simple client on your phone and it allows you to access your devices remotely without worrying about public IPs or NAT. It tried to establish a direct link between you and your devices if it can (let's say you...

    Hi everyone, I am based in the US and I'm trying to purchase this beast (48x laser zoom PTZ) , but unfortunately all the resellers don't have it and are telling me that it's not sold in North America. Hikvision sales in the US is trying to get rid of their inventory and are trying to...

    where is the best place to get the firmware for a DS-2DF8C842IXS-AELW ? mine has a bit of orney streak in it lately

    Yeah, you're on T2 (same as me), which doesn't get any more updates. 5.5.800 is the last official firmware (not sure why you're on 5.5.801). Try it from here - DS-2DF8C842IXS-AELW(T2)

    Are you sure it's T5 and not T2? What's your current firmware version? As for hue changes, your SVC might be on or you have heavy packet loss on your network.

    SD8A820WA-HNF 4/3 Sensor Cam Arrived

    Good question. If somebody can find me a 4K PTZ camera with a good sensor and a 50mbps feed, I'll grab it right away. I have a Hikvision 1080p PTZ beach cam - even at 15mbps (maximum possible bitrate and "high" quality) I can see heavy artifacts on waves or crowds during direct sunlight.

    it’s not only the bitrate, it’s the compression quality too. Good compression require alot of cpu power which ptz cameras simply do not have. It can be compensated with higher bitrate, but having 16mbps for a proper 4k is simply not enough.

    SD8A820WA-HNF 4/3 Sensor Cam Arrived

    14mbps for 4k? Well that’s a shame. i wonder how bad the compression is on complicated sceneries (like big moving crowds)

    Mic Humming / Issues on Hikvision IP PTZ 2DE7184-A

    According to the sound, you clearly have a ground loop problem. Anyways, this thread is 3 years old. I also had a microphone humming issue (solved): SOLVED: Hikvision microphone static noise/humming which starts right after the boot sequence is done
