    hikvision 5.2.8

    Can't you connect directly from your 24p switch to RJ45 from DS ? Normally must to work, even if it's POE on you NVR. Must to be transparent, no? I don't know this specific model, what was written in user manual? Maybe Google or Youtube regading the connections possibilities with your specific...

    hikvision 5.2.8

    Yes, I recommend that. Some switch models 4xPOE or 8xPOE are not so expensive than that. Best choice is to have it manageable if you want to use multicast. But my best recommendation, don't buy UFO switch from China, go to TPLINK/NETGEAR, that's fine.... Or POE injectors, if you have only 2/3...

    hikvision 5.2.8

    My cams goes directly to a manageable POE Switch TPLink. Some outside cams goes through Ubiquiti Wifi Lan network, where I have power supply but not LAN cabling. From my house I use also a dedicated wifi link: NanoStation Loco m2 to make a bridge over 1 km for the CCTV of my parents house. So I...

    DS-2CD2732F-IS Inside Garage - Not switching between Day/Night fast enough

    Hi, from my experience, The minimum delay is 5 seconds in the settings. This allow in 99% of the cases to be adaptative to the environement : Clouds and Sun, shadows, sudent flashes, etc... The cam doesn't react as a simply switch, but analyze the field before switching to IR, to allow in...

    Hikvision different manufacturers

    Looking through my tool "Advanced Ip scanner", Seems there are different manufacturers for Hik or maybe it was the result of their internal FW hacked cooking they made before shipment? same models can be from different manufacturers too, so this is not specific to particular model. - Eka...

    hikvision 5.2.8

    I used a third party NVR not Hik solution. So I have less issues about languages as my VMS doesn't take care about: only Onvif compliance and Hik does it correctly as they are Onvif certified. If some one have more info, you are welcome.

    hikvision 5.2.8

    Yes, But when you read CCCH in the S/N, these cams are not for USA or European markets as per my understood. So these cams are not supported outside China and of course these original fw are all chineese. What we received are all modifed fw by the sellers and in some cases, not modified at...

    I'm not an expert at all as i'm not a programer... But all seems to turn around the "IEfile.tar.gz" under /DAV folder... The firmwares are unified for the same range: 2CDxxx models

    hikvision 5.2.8

    Yes, seems to me there is another value not changed correctly somewhere. It was not made 100% multilanguage and can influance the OSD on other VMS, even if on settings we do not activate the OSD. in the camera In my case for example, I do not have the OSD time through my VMS in some of them. I...

    hikvision 5.2.8

    Yes I think, they upgrade the original firmware by an kacked one to be multilanguage and allow them the availability to make international sales. Now, they have also their cooking and seems they don't make it the same way, depends of the vendor. And, when it was done like a rabbit, you still...

    Best Place to Buy HIK Vision

    I will be interested to get 4mm lens as all my cams are with 2.8mm. Simply because with 2 of them, the angle is too wide. Do you have some recommendations or links to get the right model, not too expensive, even from China. In advance, thanks for your help here.

    Hikvison Permanent Region Code Hack

    I think Chineese industry have not the same thoughts as us at all. We are not in the same world. For us we want finished products, well packaged and 100% improved, with warranty and Customer support. Come on, Hik series 2 is not a range for Pro, only for residential... Pro will go more with 4...

    hikvision 5.2.8

    My personnal thinking: Don't mix parts of one firmware with another one who is not with the same level (release/version), this can breek you cam. and TFTP will be necessary after that to recover... But I'm not a specialist... These are my thoughts

    hikvision 5.2.8

    Hi Phillip, You have 3 alternatives here : a) Going back to 5.2.5 and find on topics how to make it English (but not full English as OSD still shows Chineese somewhere) and if it's fails, only solution is to do TFTP to recover FW. Works and request some kwnoledge on how to do it.... b) Go...

    Hikvision 2532F-IS - not getting any audio through

    Me too I was confused with these cams at the beginning. Hik made it difficult with somes protection rules according to distribution régions to avoid parallel market introducing regional firmwares related with SN in the cams. Makes sense somewhere as the pricing are totally different between...

If I'm not wrong 5.2.0 to 5.2.3 improved 3 minor things (3 digit as minor release) 5.2.3 to 5.2.5 (only 2 minor things/...

    Hikvision 2532F-IS - not getting any audio through

    Personnaly I used this model with a third party SW certified Onvif profileS. So it works with Audio correctly since I upgraded the cam to v5.2.5 with region changer (thanks to CBX). In fact the third party management software and PC NVR I have don't take care if the cam is chineese or European...
