    Different settings to the Hik cams at sunrise/sunset using Blue Iris event schedule

    Re: Different settings to the Hik cams at sunrise/sunset using Blue Iris event schedu Is there a way to implement the same functionality of this thread with a camera like 2332 and an NVR like 7XXX unattended and without BluIris?

    Wireshark is an extremely detailed network software but requires network communications knowledge to interpret and analyse the information provided. You can check it at www.wireshark.org.

    I also agree with the technical reasoning from Alastair. In order to verify if your router has some sort of bug with NATing is to replace it (temporarily?) with something else or even upgrade its firmware. Another way to trace what is really going on in your network is to use wireshark software...

    It is possible to define separate email settings for the motion detection in the camera and in the NVR. In this case the camera will send an email with high resolution pics attached and the NVR will send a separate email with low resolution pics attached. The attached pics between the NVR and...

    Which camera models, firmware and region does this limitation refer to? Is this a bug? Does it concern chinese (hacked or not) firmwares OR european firmwares? Please point me to the relevant thread in this forum that this problem is discussed and resolved.

    Have you tried the telnet and the ping from the camera and the NVR as I described above?

    alarm output voltage and current

    Well spotted Alastair. I agree with your technical observation, the drawing of the transistor is wrong. In fact BC547 is an NPN transistor. So when the IN from the NVR is high, the optoisolator out is high, the BC547 base is high and the relay is energised and the LED2 lights. When the IN from...

    My first attempts have failed..

    The features that appear in both the camera and the NVR interfaces, are affected by the last interface that changes them. Therefore it does not matter where you change the feature (NVR or camera). However it would be good practice to define the majority of the settings in the camera first (as it...

    @okosub For DNS in the cameras (or in anyoter device as a general recommendation) set either 192.168.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 or both (in my 2332 camera I have two DNS entries) The maintenace section of the NVR interface is only informational. Set any public site IP or URL and the NVR will measure the...

    @okosub Alastair has given you the correct instructions so far and I was under the impression that you have implemented them. In any case here are the ideal configuration settings for everything (once more!!) Camera settings when connected to the NVR PoE switch: Camera IP: 192.168.254.2 (in...

    Since you already set up your NVR to have IP 192.168.1.200 then the DHCP of the NVR is off. There is no need to have a physical connection between the NVR PoE ports and your internal LAN. All the routing i done by your router and the Virtual Host part of the NVR. To verify if there is any...

    @okosub OK now I understand what you have done. You created a static route for all addresses in the range 192.168.254.0 (i.e. your cameras connected at your NVR PoE switch) to be routed to 192.168.1.200 which is your NVR LAN port (otherwise the router would route them to 192.168.1.1 and then to...

    HikVision DS-7608NI-E2/8P - some pics and first impressions

    Someone else in this forum has changed the power supply fan with another of the same dimensions (usually around 5cmx5cm) from the Noctua brand which are known to be of high quality and expensive (comparatively).

    My first attempts have failed..

    I can confirm that Alastair's instructions all work OK (my camera 2332 with fw 5.1.6 on the PoE of a 7604NI/SEP with fw 3.0.9). One recommendation is avoid time.windows.com. I does not wok properly evn in my windows computers. Try alternative NTPs like time.nist.gov

    How to access the video streams of a camera or NVR?

    I totally agree with you Alastair. However, this topic of accessing streams was discussed again last year sometime but I could not find the relevant posts. What this forum is missing is someone to make a summary of the most important solutions found. I see a lot of people who struggle with the...

    How to access the video streams of a camera or NVR?

    Well done and thank you Alastair and DemonicHawk for your guidance and suggestions. I changed the camera rtsp port to 554 and now I can access both video streams (high and low res) with VLC using rtsp://192.168.254.2:554/Streaming/Channels/101 (and 102). The camera web interface is still...

    Cats and narrow hallway - lens angle and 90 deg rotation

    Unfortunately most camera manufacturers do not specify accurately (or not at all in many cases) the Horizontal (HFOV) and Vertical (VFOV) field of view angles of the camera lens. Both parameters also change per camera depending on the resolution the camera is set (some cameras scale up, some do...

    How to access the video streams of a camera or NVR?

    You understood me correct. I can access the camera web interface using http://192.168.254.2 but I can not access the videostream using rtsp://192.168.254.2:65001 or rtsp://192.168.254.2:65001/Streaming/Channels/101 from the browser or VLC. Also my camera rtsp is 65001 and not 554. I believe...

    How to access the video streams of a camera or NVR?

    @DemonicHawk This is exactly how I have configured my camera, NVR and router. However I am looking for a way to accessing the camera video stream (not the camera web interface) from VLC in the same way a Alastair has demonstrated in the left image in his post. This does not work in my setup. So...

    How to access the video streams of a camera or NVR?

    @Dreamboat We agree on your terminology of the IP ports. However Alastair has clearly demonstrated that he can pull the camera stream video by calling the camera internal IP 192.168.254.XXX. So is there anybody else who can verify Alastair's demostration. If there is no one else then it is true...

    @michelin I tried myprevious tests from another computer and I was prompted only once for the username and password. So you may be right. I can not explain why on my other computer I am prompted twice. Anyway.... @Alastair So if I understand correct, the left image comes from the camera...

    How to access the video streams of a camera or NVR?

    I have a 2332 connected to the PoE switch of an NVR 7604NI/SEP. I can access the web interface of the camera through the virtual host feature (192.168.1.XXX:65001) How can we access the video streams with VLC or browser of a camera or NVR without going through the web interface?

    Hikvision DS-2CD2132-I NTP settings

    Choose other NTP servers and verify if it is a problem of some servers or in case of all servers failing then you either have a faulty firmware configuration or an incompatibility in your network routing. In the latter case connect the camera to another network and repeat tests.
