    My first Hikvision (2CD2032F) - is there a sticky for setting it up for best picture?

    Re: My first Hikvision (2CD2032F) - is there a sticky for setting it up for best pict Sorry for the geek speak! What I meant is that the camera has two ports - typically 8000 for accessing the web interface to manage the camera, and the 554 port for viewing just the RTSP video streams. Yes...

    Replacement dome for DS-2CD2132F-IS or similar

    Hi, Maybe a website like http://www.replacementdomes.com/polycarbonate-domes where you can get replacement domes. You must have already considered: - Buy the cheapest similar camera you can from AliExpress. - Try and source a similar used camera from Ebay, they do come up as non-working items...

    Question on mobile app for multiple camera types

    Yes I am afraid it is not available on iOS, which is a shame because it is the best app I have used for anything in a long time, and I got the PRO version for free during an Amazon promotion.

    Unable to get DS-2CD2432F-IW to record to NAS share

    Sorry missed that paragraph. Yes manual recordings are saved to the device you are using to view the admin web page. You can define this folder location under the Local Storage section in the camera settings. Motion detection and other alert recordings and schedule recordings are saved to the...

    Unable to get DS-2CD2432F-IW to record to NAS share

    Check whether the status of the share becomes Uninitialized in the cameras setup page. In my experience you will have to set a quota of 200 GB or less for the camera. To do this, on your NAS create a separate user for the camera and apply the quota. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

    My first Hikvision (2CD2032F) - is there a sticky for setting it up for best picture?

    Re: My first Hikvision (2CD2032F) - is there a sticky for setting it up for best pict Why would you want to expose the admin page to the WAN (the 8020 port)? That would be less secure. You can forward just the RTSP port (554) to an external port on your router (for example 45678). This will let...

    +1 Port forwarding your cameras to the router is an invitation for hackers to walk right into your home network. After suffering repeated hacking attempts, I set up a VPN and now can securely live-view remotely.

    My first Hikvision (2CD2032F) - is there a sticky for setting it up for best picture?

    Re: My first Hikvision (2CD2032F) - is there a sticky for setting it up for best pict Hello, Could you post a full resolution image from the camera? That would help us judge how bad it is. Also do you have any external IR illuminators? I have the 2032-I version and the image quality is...

    What the difference between DS-2CD2032-I and DS-2CD2232-I5

    :) My 2032-I is the same, definitely attracts more spiders than the 2132F-IS dome. I have got some spider deterrent sprays, have to test it and see if its any good!

    Question on mobile app for multiple camera types

    May I recommend the excellent tinyCam Monitor PRO? Of course try the free version first and see whether the Huisun can be made to work. I can already tell you it is not in the app's manufacturers list, but if it is really ONVIF compliant, it should be recognised by this app. The generic RTSP url...

    What the difference between DS-2CD2032-I and DS-2CD2232-I5

    According to the datasheets the 2032 is 60.4 x 76.5 x 138.1mm (Dia x Height x Length) and the DS-2CD2232-I5 is 105×104.8×263.1mm. So the main difference is in the length and the diameter. You can compare the relative sizes as the datasheets have plan and elevation views...

    What the difference between DS-2CD2032-I and DS-2CD2232-I5

    Hi Billkater, Both cameras are bullets but as you may be aware have significant differences in the IR configuration. DS-2CD2032-I : Mini-bullet, Fixed focus, 3MP, standard individual LEDs arranged in a ring around the lens. Shorter IR range (30metres) as the LEDs are not as powerful as EXIR...

    View events on NAS without using camera, and CIFS vs NFS

    Hi citlee, I have the same camera, a DS-2CD2032-I (AliExpress sourced), connected to a QNAP TS-231+ NAS. When I first got the NAS, I tried CIFS but I struggled to get the camera to write to the NAS even after trying all the suggested workarounds, so then used NFS which worked well. It recorded...

    Needing Hikvision expert input, please!

    Hi your question may not be clear enough and this could be why you have not got any responses yet. When you say redundant are you talking about your Hikvision(?) DVR or the QNAP NAS? You also mention 3 NAS devices. You will have to be clearer about your setup to get more accurate/detailed...

    Hikvision 2032F On Camera SD Card Recording Setup Info?

    Hi, I have this camera and have no issues recording to the SD card and to a QNAP NAS simultaneously - there were reviews stating that 64 gb SD cards are hit and miss on this camera, so I used a Class 10 Sandisk 32GB card. Works well. Cheers

    EZVIZ ? Who uses it or is it generally not recommended ?

    I believe the iVMS 4500 HD app does use Hik servers in some way - because even when I configured the phone app using the internal network IP of the camera (192.168.XXX.XXX), the camera used to send push notifications to my phone which was on an external 3G network!!! Note: I am not using EZVIZ...
