    Proper method to change camera password?

    Sorry to ask yet another mundane question, but recommendation was via Web-GUI using Internet Explorer. Does that mean typing in the camera's IP of 192.xxx.x.xxx and coming up with the screen (in my case the Live View) and across the top are the tabs Live View, Playback, Picture and...

    Set up second camera and having issues.....both locally and remotely...

    This site has been great....but I still am bumbling my way thru the introduction to the world of Hikvision cameras and setup. Have a 2CD2332 set up straight to router and been able to connect when away from home on iPad via iVMS4500 by using my routers static ip address of xxx.xx.222.xxx:8000...

    Newbie Question - Setting up second camera connect via switch to router

    The first time I set up a camera, I messed up and it took me nearly month to fix it, and don't want to go thru that again, so here's a somewhat novice question to make sure I do this correctly. Set up is - first camera goes to a TP-Link Switch that has 4 POE connections, and then to my router...

    UPDATE...Well something I did has allowed me to see the camera when I click on "import Camera", but I can't seem to figure out to get the image any large on either my MAcBook PRO (Retina) or my iMac running Yosemite.... Attached is a screenshot from my MAcBook PRO which is exactly what I see on...

    How to allow friends family easy access to camera?

    Thanks for the reply I probably should have confessed up front, I am not a techie at this stuff, but somehow stumble through it all. I'll start looking into how to set up that DDNS, but am not sure what is meant by opening a port and setting up a guest account. I have successfully installed the...

    How to allow friends family easy access to camera?

    First, I want to say thanks for all the help this site has provided in getting me up and running. I have seen many cases where folks provide live cams and open access so you can see Hikvision cameras without having to enter usernames/passwords. Have a DS-2CD2332-I camera set up and would like to...

    Am confused on Password Reset Tool....First Time User

    Camera still working! Think I may have mentioned I set this up to hopefully replace an inferior camera system and simply want to watch this camera on demand from an iPhone or iPad and from what I see, that is done with the 4500 software app. Last question...is there a place to find what settings...

    OK....you have been so kind, guess I'll continue to take advantage of your generosity.

    So let me face up to what will happen in my case if I mess with firmware.... It's a DS-2CD2332-I dome camera From the serial number including "CCWR", I think it means it's a US camera? And it has software version, 5.3.0_151016. Where I get confused and concerned as I have seen postings of...

    Am confused on Password Reset Tool....First Time User

    OK....guess I'm at a stand still. Since the Hikvision tech support recovery code did not work, I replied to them that I had lost power and asked for a new code, to which they responded they are on Holiday till 2/15/16. Interestingly, I also contacted distributor (who sounds as though they are in...

    Again, a big THANK YOU for all the helpful advice and suggestions I've received here. Yes, it is a dome camera, with no visible reset button and running SW 5.3.0_151016. I actually did receive back an Encrypt file from Hikvision, but it did not work and I wonder if that's b/c I lost power in...

    Hikvision camera admin password reset tool

    Appreciate the suggestion, but that brings up the box after you have received a code from Hikvision which I thought was different from where to put the code generated from the Password Resetter Routine.... Are you saying that they are the same?
