I am not sure you would want to get that unit, unless you know chinese... It does look like a nice unit at a good price. They also have this one. http://www1.hikvision.com/cn/prgs_567_i6959.html

That is just if you want to create an account on their web site. Then you can have many devices on your account, check their status, etc. You do not need to use that at all if you don't want to do so. If you like NOIP, just keep using it.

It is stored on the NVR, DVR, IP camera, or whatever device you configure it. No idea on what else you are saying...

You don't need static IP; google about "DDNS" or "dynamic DNS". If you do have an internet connection at least "decent", you should be able to see your cameras remotely.

This has become one interesting thread

I think that can be done IF the NVR has RS485 port. You can connect the controller to the NVR, so the controller sends the camera commands to the NVR, and the NVR will send the commands to the IP cameras over the network. It is supposed to work with Hikvision's DS1003KI controller. No clue if it would work with other controllers.

Thanks, so do I What was the problem ? I can see it being a problem if you need to pass the cabling through a hole, if you have to keep them inside a junction box (which would need to be a lot bigger), etc. I wonder what it is for...?

You can!

Well 2CD2032F-I, it has a micro SD slot, which the 2CD2032-I does not... That alone is a nice upgrade!

The user manual, that wonderful friend. Also, have you ever heard of Google before?

Click+drag on the live view, and draw a rectangle!

With older firmwares there was a screenshot URL, something like the following: http:///Streaming/channels/101/picture I think there must also be ways to do the same with newer firmwares. With SDK you can surely do it, but you would need to do some programming.

What do you mean by "pull the images"? Download recordings? Or just get a snapshot at a given moment?

So your router is 10.0.0.1 and you want it to forward a port to IP 192.168.1.122...? If your network is 10.x.x.x you need to change the DVR's IP to something on the same subnet. The router is telling you that the DVR's IP is not on the valid range; it should be something between 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.254.

It should work if you are ok with just seeing each camera half of the time.

He is giving you not just the answer, but even explaining to you why. It should make you wonder who the jerk is around here. You should surely go find your answers somewhere else next time.

Of course, if your monitor is 1280x720 you will not see any difference on image quality, unless you zoom in on the camera. But keep in mind that even if you see the images at 720p, if you record at a higher resolution, the better quality WILL be on ¡the recordings if you ever need it.

Nice to see this solved, even if it took over a year.

If cost goes in the equation, I would rather supply a free email/download link. If cost is not in the equation, I would rather supply a USB drive.

Really? I do not know what DVRs you use, but I have not seen a DVR that comes by default with a DVD drive for quite a few years, and I have not used myself a DVD in a long time (other than the random manual/drivers that comes on CD/DVD).

They are, everything analog is compatible (as long as they use the same system, PAL or NTSC).

It would. I guess then that what you want to do is connect the PIR to your alarm system, and the alarm system to the Hikvision "alarm in".

There are no good USB capture cards. At all. I would go as far as to say there are no decent USB based capture cards.

350xmA x 4 cameras = 1.4A. That's what you need. You will need more A if you use long cables. For the price difference, for 4 cameras I usually go for a 12V 5A power supply, but you could even use 2A.

Yes, you can do so. But why would you want to do that? You could just wire the PIR to both the "alarm in" on the Hikvision, AND your security panel. Why go through the camera? You do not need the Hikvision camera to get that working.
