    GMAIL Failure? Anyone Else?

    I hope todays release of the 5.4.0 firmware and my post today is pure coincidence!!!! Unfortunately the popular EXIR turret 2CD2332 camera is not listed in the (extensive) release notes of this firmware version. If someone can verify compatibility of this firmware 5.4.0 with the camera 2332...

    GMAIL Failure? Anyone Else?

    Can you please suggest some free email providers that allow SSL and you know they work with the HIK cameras?

    GMAIL Failure? Anyone Else?

    @Delboy I agree with your suspicions why firmware 5.4 was withdrawn. No body seems to know the reasons. Now with respect to whether I am desperate or not, I would say that the basic functionality of email alerting is one of the reasons to have surveillance cameras. Since this functionality has...

    GMAIL Failure? Anyone Else?

    A request to all camera users who are using the firmware 5.4 and have their email alerts functioning properly: Please tell us which camera model you have. So far I have seen a few posts related only to the 2X42 camera model.

    Hikvision NVR - email notifications - no picture

    Google and other providers of free email services have stopped SSL support for email clients recently as of June 16th. It may be related to your problem. The gmail failure topic is discussed extensively in two other threads. Please read the threads of the forum.

    GMAIL Failure? Anyone Else?

    The annoying thing is that version 5.4 of camera firmware for 2X42 cameras takes care of the TLS encryption required by Google (and other providers). So HIKVision knew the Google security announcements, implemented TLS security, but only for one set of cameras and even that firmware is not...

    GMAIL Failure? Anyone Else?

    Obviously our results vary depending (among other factors) on the device, firmware version and (possibly) region of firmware (western or Chinese). To all members: please state the camera/NVR model, your firmware and region of item, in order to identify possible patterns of success or failure.

    Sending more than 1 email per trigger

    It is possible to send two separate emails from one camera, one email triggered from the motion detection and another email triggered from the line crossing. I have done it and it works. Unfortunately it does not work consistently and reliably. I have not identified a pattern of failure. Usually...

    Hikvision 5MP cams

    @pozzello I believe you are expecting too much. The economy 2 series cameras are not suitable for person recognition. Additionally the maximum usable distance of these cameras with IR is no more than 2 meters. In this way the third set of your pictures only proves that there was somebody there...

    Camera Event Scheduler to Run Program or Execute Script

    I understand and agree with you. You misunderstood me. The execution of the two different .bat files (containing the xml settings) is triggered from the BI according to a specific time plan. It is not triggered according to the setting of the ambient light sensor in the camera. I am asking where...

    Camera Event Scheduler to Run Program or Execute Script

    Do you know where in the file system of HIK cameras the operating mode (day or night) may be signified? If we can identify this then we may be able to write a script to execute the different xmls defining the image parameters per mode (day or night).

    Different Day/Night parameter sets (DS-2CD2142FWD-I)

    You have done nothing wrong!!! It is not possible to have different image (and/or video) settings for day and night switched automatically according to the camera light sensor that switches the camera between day and night mode. In fact the only thing that changes between day and night is the...

    Hikvision 5MP cams

    What do you mean no gain adjustment? Can you post a few screendumps of the user interface? What about WDR? Is it dynamic WDR (i.e. software based) or is it true WDR (i.e. based on sensor ability?). Can you do some shots with a person indoors next to bright light window?

    Hikvision 5MP cams

    @DelBoy Are you suggesting that the new HIK 5Mpixel cameras are using the SONY IMX178 sensor? Please clarify.

    FOV or angle of view on the DS-2CD2342WD-I

    @tomhanman You assume that the sensor is 16:9 and unfortunately we do not know the sensor maker and model. Additionally the sensor vendors prefer to keep the top and bottom few lines blanked during frame refreshing. That means that even if the physical sensor may 16:9 accurately, the pixel...

    FOV or angle of view on the DS-2CD2342WD-I

    @tomhanman Thanks for your answer. Therefore it is clear that you measured the angles through simple trigonometry of the visual dimensions of whatever you measured. I wish you could also measure the Vertical FOV angle. Personally I am planning an installation with cameras at the corridor mode...

    FOV or angle of view on the DS-2CD2342WD-I

    @MaxIcon I have read your work back in time when you did it and I fully agree with your measuring methodology and all your technical explanations. I also fully understand the optics and sensors characteristics. However very few people have repeated the work you have done with their cameras like...

    GMAIL Failure? Anyone Else?

    Great, both IPs of gmail at port 465 work OK from the camera. Now waiting to confirm with the NVR. Thanks. ----EDIT The NVR email now also works OK with the fixed IP.

    GMAIL Failure? Anyone Else?

    On a 2CD2332 camera, I have tried to use emails accounts in gmail.com, fastmail.com, yahoo.com, outlook.com and all of them fail the test and fail to send emails. So is the SSL protocol being banned from all the providers? Has anyone succeeded in sending emails from the camera (or the NVR) from...

    GMAIL Failure? Anyone Else?

    I do not believe it has to do with DNS. If you telnet to the camera or NVR the command ping smtp.gmail.com resolves properly the domain name and the server replies. It must be something with the security protocols as @bp2008 mentioned above. If the replacement of the smtp name with the IP...

    NVR firmware V3.4.6 build160405 released.

    @FastCamMan. Can you please verify the following? 1. Does the DS-7608NI-I2/8P that can take 2 SATA disks support mirror (or redundant mode as HIK calls it) operation where the video stream is recorded at both hard disks at the same time? 2. Further to the above question is the events log being...

    New Firmware for DS-7600NI-SE 7600NI-V(VP)

    NVR firmware 3.4.6 is meant to be for the E Series NVR DS-76xxNI-Ex/xP like yours @badmannen. @niofar is having the older series (like me) the 76xxXNI-SE/P which is not clear if it is compatible with the 3.4.6 firmware. So the question is: does anyone having the older DS-76xxNI-SE/P has...

    New Firmware for DS-7600NI-SE 7600NI-V(VP)

    Can you please clarify which is the firmware version for the 7604NI-SE/P which is compatible with the latest 4MP cameras like the 2CD2x42 i.e. to record the video stream at the 4MP resolution?
