    2.8mm or 4mm lens? (Photo added with 4mm lens, is 2.8mm is better for me?)

    Just because he entered a tracking number doesn't mean he's sent anything. All it means is he generated a label. I've had sellers waste my time like this as well, they do it to get around the AliExpress processing time requirement.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2042WD-I -- offline; can't login to HikVision page

    The first thing you should do is turn off uPNP/port forwarding, and set up a VPN. Fenderman will be here shortly to point this out to you, so consider this a preemptive warning. That said, when you have a brand-new camera, the first time you go to the login page, you are normally prompted to...

    Looking to upgrade two of my cameras

    Hopefully you do not experience the problems encountered by other posters in this forum with the v5.5 firmware.

    Copy files from MicroSD without extracting the card itself

    it means it failed to connect to the server you are testing. without another windows machine to test the smb connection to the windows box you're attempting to use as a server, there's not much more you can do. Debugging 101.

    Copy files from MicroSD without extracting the card itself

    So, when you go to the NAS page, add the IP, share, and username/password and click TEST, it fails? on the server, what does net share show? did you create the share with read/write permissions? Is the password for IPCAM user accurate? Did you attempt to connect to the share using another...

    Hikvision IPC Firmware 5.5.0 - released 24 Sept 2017

    Yes, my cameras are not only a private lan, but also on a separate vlan than the rest of my equipment, and the rules on my switch do not allow cross-vlan packet ingress/egress. My guess is 5.5 is so new it is not extensively used at the moment.

    Copy files from MicroSD without extracting the card itself

    first thing I would do is completely disable windows firewall to see if that's what is causing the block. also, invasive crap software like norton security can cause havoc

    Hikvision camera resets ITSELF to factory default twice!

    In your sample log, most of your hits are one and two, which usually fall below the threshold. As I stated before, given enough hosts and enough time, yes, every port can be probed. If you have 100k bots out there, all it takes is one bot per port. I have a single SSH port open through my...

    Hikvision camera resets ITSELF to factory default twice!

    IDS software vendors have adapted to this brute-force approach. Now they look for a pattern of repeated port scans to a single hosts (or group of hosts) within a certain time period. Sure, with a large number of bots you could scan through all ports over a long period of time and probably avoid...

    Hikvision IPC Firmware 5.5.0 - released 24 Sept 2017

    ... and, oddly enough, the script does not work with the 5.5 firmware (but works fine with the 5.4.5 firmware)... the CURL commands return an "empty reply from server" error... so it would appear something has changed with the ISAPI interface in 5.5. I only have one 5.5 camera I toy around...

    Hikvision IPC Firmware 5.5.0 - released 24 Sept 2017

    a cron task runs at midnight each day, below, "setparms.sh"... this creates two at jobs which run at sunrise and sunset to change the camera parameters. Logs output to /tmp/setparms for reference purposes setparams.sh: #!/bin/sh SUNRISE=`python /root/cameras/py/getsunrise.py` SUNSET=`python...

    Hikvision IPC Firmware 5.5.0 - released 24 Sept 2017

    I manually change day/nite mode on all my cameras using sunrise/sunset times via a script.

    Hikvision camera resets ITSELF to factory default twice!

    To be fair though, Most ISPs (here in the states, at least) have IDS systems which will block mass port scans, so putting your cameras on non standard ports (especially in, say, the high 20,000 range) is not likely to get scanned.

    Hikvision IPC Firmware 5.5.0 - released 24 Sept 2017

    I have a 2385 which came with 5.5. There are a few differences. 1. The ability to enable ssh has been removed in 5.5 (security->security service page) 2. There is a "firmware property" attribute added to the system settings -> Basic information page. My camera has B-R-G1-0 in this field...

    You should be thanking Montecrypto then. Its good for business. Think of all those service calls you'll be billing customers for.

    Backdoor found in Hikvision cameras

    Fenderman can come across like a jerk, sure. But, it's only because he practices "tough love". The truth hurts sometimes. But, he loves you. And, because he loves you, he will tell you the truth. Sometimes, we do not want to hear the truth, so we feel all butthurt by it. However, deep down...
