    Buying firmware

    That's a strange question. Have you checked Hikvision's public websites for their CCTV products? Most new product listings have a firmware download on the product page. And firmware is publicly available to download from many of their sites, such as here -...

    how to recover cameras

    We need a bit more info to be able to offer helpful suggestions - OK, so SADP lists the NVR OK. What's the model of NVR / does it have PoE ports at the back for the cameras to connect to? Are the cameras connected to PoE ports on the back of the NVR? If so, they can't be seen by a PC on the...

    Hik-Connect web client not loading NVR

    Please be aware that giving the entire internet access to the NVR in this way is a big cyber security risk. Has the business agreed to take this risk? These devices are not security hardened, and have vulnerabilities that could not just be used to compromise the NVR itself, but also the LAN and...

    Dahua DHI-NVR5216-EI2 and low FPS witn non-Dahua IP-camera

    It looks like the (unspecified) non-Dahua camera is lying about it's capabilities. What did the device specifications claim it could do? Maybe the 25fps is only possible at a lower resolution.

    Illegal Login keeps happening

    No, it's the NVR that's the inbound target if the router is allowing the traffic through. And you've stated that the NVR has been disconnected, therefore ShieldsUp! won't be able to see it, even if the router lets the probes through. That's not the suggested test. What's suggested is the 'All...

    Fixing Ethernet Cable On Camera -- 6 wire ?

    As @tigerwillow1 suggested, when you have the camera connected to the cable : It's seeing the ethernet transformers within the camera that are connected to the signal wire pairs as a short. The windings are about 1 ohm resistance.

    Illegal Login keeps happening

    Ah, but, I just thought, if you've now disconnected the NVR from internet access, no connection from the internet will happen, even if port forwarding is active.

    Illegal Login keeps happening

    Suggestion : Before you do that - check with ShieldsUp! It's easy peasy to use, and will tell you quickly and clearly what ports if any are open to access from the internet. The 'All Service Ports' option is probably the best to use. https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

    Illegal Login keeps happening

    It may still be active. Check if UPnP is enabled on the router, and also on the (unknown) device. If enabled, this would allow the device to configure port forwarding all by itself. To find out what inbound access is available from the internet, a very good tool is ShieldsUp! : (use the...

    Hikvision recorder necessary for AI?

    I forgot to include what enabling 'Rules' looks like. This is Line Crossing and Intrusion detection. And motion.

    Hikvision recorder necessary for AI?

    You've probably done this already, but - Check that the camera is creating smart events by enabling 'Rules' (Local | Live view parameters | Rules | Enable tickbox) in the camera web GUI and checking in Live View that triggers (lines going red) occur as intended. Then - and I don't know if this...

    Downloading videos files directly from camera via web interface (using other than IE) seems to be capped at *TEN* Mbps

    What is the nature and number of the errors? This might be significant and relevant to the problem you are exploring. Suggestion : Reset the error count on the switch port, do a test data transfer, check the errors. A normal connection should give zero errors even after months of use.

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    The BBWR in the serial number suggests it is. Does it just say 'update failed' or is there something more useful? Where did you download the firmware to try? This appears to be a source for that model ...

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    The serial number containing CCCH does confirm this is a Chinese camera. Updating with newer EN firmware will likely brick it with a 'language mismatch' error. But the first post in this thread explains the method that can be used to convert the camera from CN to EN, after which any of the EN...

    Anspo NVR - only records for (about) 1 week

    Depending on how many cameras are connected, and what the total recording bitrate is - it may well be that a 2TB HDD could be filled up in a week with continuous recording. Do the calculation to find out. Without knowing any detail of that NVR - does the Storage Management menu have an option...

    UPnP Issue on EZ-XVR1B16

    Ouch! Are you wanting to create a honeypot, something that's exposed to the entire internet just so you can see all the attempts at compromising the device, and potentially also the other devices on the LAN that it is connected to?

    Web Interface Failure and Inaccessible

    If the weakness is in the way the bridge mode support of the NVR is working, that may not eliminate the issue. Also - be aware that pushing the NVR video through the router to view it may expose limitations in how well the router handles that - some routers can struggle and impact the routing...

    Web Interface Failure and Inaccessible

    OK - that lets out a problem with a specific browser version. Can you provide a link to that thread? It certainly used to be the case a while back that customising the HTTP port away from 80 could cause access problems. I'm a bit skeptical that there is such a basic and obvious current problem...

    Web Interface Failure and Inaccessible

    Were they sold as 'used, working' or as 'spares and repairs' or equivalent? What browser are you using to access the web GUI? Is this a PoE NVR, or are the cameras connected to the LAN and powered separately from the NVR? That does suggest the problem isn't due to the cameras themselves, but...

    Haha! You beat me to it. 4,5,6 are indicators that those cameras have been hacked using inbound internet access.

    Is someone trying to break into my home network?

    That would allow inbound to the LAN via the router - but wouldn't allow login to the router itself, which is what is being queried. But absolutely - UPnP should not be enabled.
