    Port Forwarding not working

    Is the Spectrum modem providing the outside IP address to the Linksys? Check the WAN information in the Linksys setup, if it shows an outside IP of 10.x.x.x or 172.16.x.x or 192.168.x.x, that means the Spectrum modem is providing a local IP to your Linksys, and you would have to open port forwarding on the Spectrum device as well. If you are getting an outside IP, have you tried setting the DVR in DMZ mode?

    Passive Infrared Motion detection through glass?

    What model camera are you using? Most cameras that have motion detection are not using traditional PIR motion sensors. They detect the changes in the scene. If they have IR lights, it's to enable it to see better at night. But, that won't work inside the car, because the IR emitters will reflect off the glass and blind the camera. You usually can disable IR emitters that are attached to the camera in the system settings.

  8. Thanks for your response. In the meanime I've signed up to Hikvisions new support page - Hik-Partner Pro There is a firmware search facility on there which works but remember it requires the last 9 characters of your device serial number! I'm not afraid of updating software/firmware!
  9. Hi if your camera is working fine I recommend you don’t do a firmware update as you can’t go back if fails last update was 08/2023 https://www.hikvision.com/en/products/IP-Products/Network-Cameras/Pro-Series-EasyIP-/DS-2CD2385G1-I/?subName=DS-2CD2385G1-I
  10. Hi! Would anyone be able to let me have a working link to the Hikvision firmware portal? I'm after an update to my DS-2CD2385G1 camera Thanks
  11. I have a couple of Wifi security cameras which work great. I bought them to put in my car because I know someone is coming to tamper with it at some point. I do realize that there are dash cams with motion detection but they are too expensive. I'm not looking for G-Sensor technology. So the camera's I have, incorporate PIR (Passive Infrared motion detection) but the problem is that this tech doesn't seem to work though glass windows. Is there any way to make it work through glass windows? I can't put the camera's outside the care or they will get stolen. They must be in the car. What's the solution here? I need motion detection but it won't work through the glass car windows. Is there another option? Thanks

    Powerline adapters

    The ones I am using is TP link. They don't seem to have an IP address but I will look. I have TP-Link TL-PA717 but these 2 devices do not use the internet. They are hard wired to the CCTV camera and the other hard wired to the recorder. What is the IP address to do with this? Communication of a powerline adapter is through powerlnes not through WI-FI.

    Powerline adapters

    Hi. If your using your Powerline adapters straight from out of the box they still work however if using more than 1 set then it is best to give each pair its own local iP address this is easy done by looking at the login iP of your adapters (192.168.x.x) which you will find on it ….. first pair give them a new iP something like 192.168.1.70 on both and on the other set 192.168.1.71 on both and this will stop the conflict you are getting as both are using the out of box iP (both sets are the same)
  15. I have a problem with a home CCTV system. I used to work in CCTV / Designer. I have 4 cameras. 1 is connected by cable ant 2 are connected by powerline adapters. The problem is if I connect a third powerline adapter the all go off. Some sort of cross talk problem I believe. How do you guys do this with lots of cameras or are they all connected by cable. In a large complex environment, it would be difficult to cable all the cameras. Hopfully you have all the answere's!
  16. My Hikvision camera has an alarm output circuit that locally can be configured to close the circuit on certain events. Has anyone managed to remotely control the alarm output circuit reliably?

    Mini POE Camera

    Good question. I don't know. They mention these standards: Support protocol: O NVIIF, HTTP, TCP/IP, ICMP, RTSP, RTP, RTCP, SMTP, DHCP, DNS, PPPoE, NTP But that doesn't always mean it would work correctly. It's almost worth a try at that price though.

    Mini POE Camera

    Not getting into it here, but I need to install a few cameras like this... Amazon.com : Revotech Zoom Mini POE IP Camera, HD 3MP Indoor Security Camera 2.8-12mm Manual Zoom Lens P2P Remote View CCTV Video Cam H.265 (I712-P Black) : Electronics Does anyone know what POE NVR would be compatible with it? Revotech themselves doesn't seem to make any NVR's anymore. And all the others tend to say things like "limited compatibility with other cameras than their own. Don't care brands, just need POE, 4-6 cameras that are mini like that (easily hidable), ability to review back, and of course the lower the cost the better. Thanks for recommendations.

    Lorex System Short Comings?

    Hi. Your problem is … it’s a lorex (dahua) not very good software for on screen or remote viewing mate you using the fusion software ??? are you on iP cameras or analog and were are you based
  20. Hi Guys & Gals, I have a Lorex system installed now for a couple years and seems that either it's lacking some basic features or I'm not totally up on it's operations. I've talked to the folks at Lorex and most of them are hard to understand and they tell me the system does not have these features which seem basic. I have 12 camera's, the are Model E892DD and my DVR is a Model N862A6 1) It does not have a long recording save time, just a few days, I suppose a larger hard drive would remedy this. Seems that 30 days would be nice. Any idea of how hard the hard drive should be? Maybe part of this issue is because I am recording all the time versus just when an episode? 2) I would have thought that I could somehow get a notification when there was some movement in a specific area? 3) When in playback mode, it's very hard to look say every 30 or 60 seconds, It jumps too far forward or backwards. I have a system at my job that allows you to "stretch" the time bar to get a more finite look at playback. 4) One of my camera's constantly goes out, I have to unplug the DVR and plug it back in. When home easy to do, but when away from home and I want to view from the road.....I'm SOL. Lastly, I can't always view from my laptop when away from home, it just won't load all the time. They tell me I need a stronger connection but it also happens when I'm home on my laptop when on the home network. Would a new DRV give me the features I'm lacking? On another note....if someone could help me with these settings during a phone call while I have it up, I'd be happy to paypal you for your time. Thanks Bobby

    Outdoor Camera Reconditions

    I require for diy installation a outdoor camera with pan tilt and possibly zoom, that I can view and control via smartphone and tablet, that will connect to router with ethernet cable NOT just wifi. Also is it possible with such a camera to use a stand alone power supply to supply the unit in case the router has insufficient capacity. Makes model and suppliers would be appreciated.
