tomcctv

Hi it can be just sat on the ground but it only takes two screws to secure to a wall just to stop it being moved … your existing power supply (12v 10amp) with splitter would be running hot the one I listed won’t

Hi. This is the wrong way to power cctv cameras ….. infact one faulty camera can damage all the rest first thing to do is install a suitable power supply the type that protects each camera with its own fuse or electronic cutout something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/HAILI-Output-Supply-Switch-Distribution/dp/B07SV1W15G/ref=asc_df_B07SV1W15G?mcid=ea352f6f096735d1909f4ed7427c5755&tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=696451130813&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15917231825901991530&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046494&hvtargid=pla-826178894569&psc=1&gad_source=1#immersive-view_1735407912808

Hi. Then this is the right time to wire your house for cameras … just use cat5 wireless cameras with dvr have never been reliable. Analog wireless are proprietary so don’t last once cameras start to fail

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

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)

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

Hi. There is none for a unit of that age also most of there apps have been removed because of malware

Hi that’s a 10 year old dvr and looks like you have tried to update with firmware that’s not supported also your best option is get another dvr … your like many others is full of spyware which is fully documented and you can’t fix …. Anything from Xiongmaitech is a bad unit also under the name xmeye

Do you have any power at were you want the cameras but by using smart cameras (which are not cctv) I know tapo cameras you can’t as you need there server for them to work

Hi. You will need to give details of your ptz BUT being Wi-Fi only im guessing it’s a smart camera ….. cctv and smart cameras are too different things and should not get mixed up with each other usually app controlled cameras are proprietary and intrusive I would recommend no one uses them

Hi are you using a APP ?

Don’t need to go DDNS on local … it was only a test to see if you could connect

Ok. Delete the xmeye app then install it again THEN first go bottom left of the app and click on the screen icon. And enter details don’t use serial number instead use your local iP address 192.168.1.230. Then see if it connects problem with using serial number is it’s already been used by the last owner with all there sign in credentials

Hi. On the xmeye app did you sign up for the cloud service and did you use a qr code

Hi. you might be lucky with one of the xmeye apps which mobile platform are you using apple or android also if you have a pc on the same network can you try entering this into your browser http:// 192.168.1.230 and see if you get access to your system
