    Thanks well I sort thought it was sorta like that. However I have gone a long time with no blue camera showing up. Im sure there was activity there. I know its complex software. I sort of wondered if I clicked some button by mistake and that changed the way this worked. I have done that before.

    Upgrading question, How easy?

    True, Im aware support ended long ago. I still get updates I think because this is an enterprise version, not sure. But it does work well enough currently. Purchasing a new computer really just for one feature emailing, I'm not really going to do. I can use google. And there is a work around...

    My model is DS-2CD3145F-IS 2.8mm At the time I bought it I did not know there was a gray market and just bought it on Amazon. After a while I read up on it and saw that it was a Chinese model converted to English and upgrades were not possible. It was being broken into by hackers, so I removed...

    How to hook up audio to headset mic - Hikvision ?

    I have an older gray market Hikvision that it appears cant be upgraded. I wanted to test the concept of hooking a mic from headset up to it to record videos.
