Yes, you can see it on the pictures. Camera is connected to the nano router (RJ45 cable) and to the battery.

Interesting. Thanks!

Access Point mode. I have it with fixed address 192.168.1.18 (so it won't conflict when I connect it to my wired network); DHCP enabled, so when I connect my tablet, laptop, etc, with wifi it will connect to the network without any manual config.

Use hiddns/hik-online. Free, and works great.

I have also seen it like this.

Make a picture of the sticker, RJ45 connector, and box if possible. If it is Hikvision you should be able to use SADP to find the cam on the network.

It might very well be a 2CD2032 inside. I have also seen them with different casing, and rebranded to something different. The casing, stickers, RJ45 connectors, etc, should give you a nice hint. And of course the web interface/software.

Ok, tried it. And the event does not show up on iPhone until you click on the event on the notification bar (or whatever it is called on iOS). That is; the push event happens, and I got the notification on both my Nexus 4 and the test iPhone. On my Nexus 4 I open gDMSS Plus, go to notifications list, and I have the push notification that just happened lister. On the iPhone I go to iDMSS Plus, check the notification list, and there is nothing new in there. But, if I close iDMSS Plus, and click on the notification event, it will open iDMSS Plus and show me the recorded event. Now if I go to the events list, I will see it there.

I will check it later with an iPhone.

Just close and open again the stream, on the "main view".

It won't.

The equivalent to iVMS-4200 for Dahua is PSS/Smart PSS. PSS is the old software, not any more in development (I think). SmartPSS is the new software they have released, still under heavy development, and should improve as it moves forward. http://www.dahuasecurity.com/download_9.html

Agree with that, a scheduled reboot would be nice. Also, I would love to see with Hikvision multiple DDNS support like with Dahua. With Dahua units many times I use the included DDNS free service which I give to the customer, and my own Dyn.com account. That way if one of the services is down I might still be able to log remotely with the other one, or if both are down at the same time it will be a better indicator that there is a problem. Now it even disables hik-online if you use EZVIZ, which doesn't make sense to me. If you use EZVIZ, it doesn't let you configure a DDNS service at all on the unit.

Reset the camera to default values. From the web interface. With cameras that do not have a QR code sticker after a reset to defaults the code becomes ABCDEF.

Where did u get battery with 5 and 12 V outputs Thx We sell them, so I just took it from work http://www.securame.com/bateria-recargable-liion-5v-5600mah-usb-12v-3800mah-ysnn12v-larga-duracion-con-cargador-p-692.html Google "YSN N12V" for some international links.

but 1/2.8" vs 1/3" with mere difference of 1/0.2" is almost insignificant. I think dahua sensors are all 16:9. In their 1.3Mp and 3Mp models 4:3 sensors. It's like dahua just cut the sides. This occurs to both 1.3Mp and 3.0Mp in all models at 3.6mm at mere 72 degrees field of view. Only the 1080p 2Mp dahua ip cams are wider at 88 degrees... the 16 degrees of difference can't be caused by the mere difference between 1/2.8" vs 1/3" sensor.. would it? A 1/2.8" sensor is 18% bigger than a 1/3" sensor. So 72º * 1.18 = 85%. I am not saying that is the explanation, but it would make sense. Well... The domain http://www.NetworkCameraCritic.com should give you an idea on what he reviews, network cameras. I will guess that's why he hasn't reviewed any HDCVI cameras, because they are not network cameras. Just my guess.

That will depend on the material of the UTP cable; the width of the cable; the quality of the power supply; the AMP requirements of the camera you are installing; etc... So, to answer the question, you have to try it. With the cable you are using on your installs, with the power supply you are using, the cameras you are using, and so on.

2MP model has 1/2.8" sensor. 3MP model has 1/3" sensor. With the same lens, bigger sensor = wider FOV.

If you mean hik-online.com/hiddns.com , it has been working fine for me. But I do think that the web interface has been very slow lately, so maybe it is time for them to do some hardware upgrades...

Wow, how old is that, does it even have a RJ45 network connection on the back? I have not seen a DVR with a CD in years. I doubt you can get anything to connect to that unit. Android? Windows 7? Maybe they did not even exist when that DVR was manufactured. You might be lucky with some old version of Internet Explorer on Windows 98 or Windows XP, but I doubt it is worth the hassle. It will probably be easier to just get a modern unit, a 4ch DVR is cheap.

No, they don't. You have all models without POE ports, and some of them also with integrated POE switch. I always prefer to buy the POE switch myself. Why? The included POE switch is usually more expensive. The included POE switch makes it difficult to access the cameras web interface. The included POE switch is tied to the NVR, which means that upgrading the NVR in the future will force you to buy a new POE switch (or again, another NVR with integrated POE switch). The included POE switch forces you to get the UTp cable for a given camera all the way to wherever the NVR is.

You can probably recover it with TFTP, you will need to download the old firmware first.

Here you can see it working.

Only 3 attachments allowed per message. Here is last pic with everything assembled, I just have to plug the 2.1mm and the RJ45 connectors to the camera I want to use, and turn on the battery

This is what I use. A TP-Link nano router, which I can power with a small battery. The battery has 5V USB output, which I can use to power the nano router (or to charge my mobile phone), and also has a 12V output, which I can use to power up the camera. The router creates me a small wi-fi network, and I connect to it with a Nexus 10 tablet, which has 1920x1080 resolution. I can use it for doing demos, for pointing cameras to the correct place, for focusing varifocal cameras, etc.
