any can help me ? where i can find old firmware to upgrade to new hikfirmware ? currently the firmware of my swann cam hd-830 is 4.0.9 i suppose i need many versions to make it work with the most recent firmware

i have swann 7200 NVR and 6 swann HD-820CAM (DS-2CD2032) i would like to get new hikvision firmware on thoses cam to use intrusion and line crossing detection... does this will help to reduce false alarm at night with outside camera but on the european site the firmware are too recents (they seem to have removed the old firmware) .. mines are from 2013... so i need earlier version. to support line crossing and intrusion do i will also need to update the NVR ? i did a update from swann site because email (google) was not working and after this im not able to acess cam that are directly pluged in the nvr and set a plug and play ... (i have two that are connected in a poe switch and thoses two are working perfectly)

Saw this store, the prices are great but not many review and feedback from customers, I dont know if aliexpress is safe. Shipping is free also, maybe too good to be true ?

Im trying by ip, when i will have time i will try to double check my port forward on router.

There is no reason why that should be happening; uPNP is just a way so that the port forwarding will happen "magically", but if it does work that way, forwarding the same ports by hand can be done too. I know, it was working well with lorex, but if I disable the UPnP in the swann it dont work at all.

I got it working but just using UPnP. The problem was that even if you change the 554 to 1025 in the network setting of the NVR, UPnP doesnt update the external RTSP port (still 554), so i changed in the UPnP setting of the NVR the RTSP external port to 1025 and now it work. As UPnP have some vulnerability, i would like to setting this up just by port forward (it was working with the lorex) If i forward port 80, 1025 and 8000 to my NVR (192.168.1.107) in my router and i disable the UPnP in the NVR, i got a connection failed msg and im not able to connect.

On the Lorex, you do not have the admin web port forwarded. The Android app works without it. Joey, UPnP is disabled on your nvr ? You just foward port 80, 1025 and 8000 to the nvr ? I dont remember if lorex UPnP was disable by default, but from my router setting lorex was using 1025 as replacement of 554.

I'm trying to see my cams on my IPHONE, and it seem to connect but i only got a black screen for all my cam. My ports 80, 8000, and 1025 are forwarded to the swann NVR. ( I changed the default http port 85 on swann to 80) Also, in the nvr UPnP is enabled on 8000, 80 and 554 from my wan ip. If i disable it, i'm not able to connect o the device. I called swann tech support and they told me that its my mobile phone carrier that have a prob. She told me that she is able to see my cam if she connect with her iphone (i didnt ask her if she used the carrier network or the local wifi network). Thats very strange, because 2 week ago when i got the lorex NVR i was able to connect remotly with my iphone and all was working well. If i connect my iphone to my local network using wifi it's seem to work. I will have to test with using wifi from public internet. I tried to install the iVMS04500 app from hikvision and also the Lorex netHD, they connect to the device ( i see that i have two cam) but it also show black screen when i try to view the cam. Any have a idea what is wrong ?

It's sold out.

Did you put dhcp on the cam ?, if not maybe you can setup your router to give ip with the mac adresss or just a range of ip

I called HIKVISION USA, and they told me that they only carry in US: DS-7608NI-SE/P and the DS-96XX-NI-ST. All other product will be special orders. The guy on the phone confirmed me that the DS-7608NI-SE/P is 40 Mbps and support 8 cam at 1080p at full bitrate.

I got a reply from ALIEXPRESS about the HIKVISION NVR, here are the prices: No HDD in thoses prices 255 $ US - DS-7608-NI-SE/P recording bandwidth = 40 Mbps - Outgoing bandwidth = ?? Mbps - Max Synchro playback = 4 ch. 1080p - 2 SATA ====> LOREX NVR 533 $ US - DS-7608-NI-SP recording bandwidth = 20 Mbps - Outgoing bandwidth = 80 Mbps - Max Synchro playback = 4 ch. - 2 SATA 639 $ US - DS-7616-NI-SP recording bandwidth = 40 Mbps - Outgoing bandwidth = 120 Mbps - Max Synchro playback = 8 ch. - 2 SATA =====> SWANN NVR 738 $ US - DS-7716-NI-SP recording bandwidth = 40 Mbps - Outgoing bandwidth = 120 Mbps - Max SYnchro playback = 16 ch. - 4 SATA + ESATA, 1,5 U 19" 983 $ US - DS-7732-NI-SP recording bandwidth = 80 Mpbs - Outgoing bandwidth = 160 Mpbs - Max Synchro playback = 16 ch. - 4 SATA + ESATA, 1,5 U 19" Im not sure about the the exact model for the swann NVR but it must be the DS-7616-NI-SP as the DS-7608-NI-SP only have 20 Mpbs bandwidth and cant support 8 ch 1080p recording. Swann NVR could also be a modified version of the DS-7608-NI-SE/P. Maybe that why Swann and Lorex blocked cam firmware to 1080p as these NVR cant record 8 3mp camera at full 30fps. Less customer support this way assisting them to reduce frame rate, etc... They sell a plug and play product. SP is for POE port, you can buy ST version with no poe port for maybe 100 $ less on the > 500 $ models. I found thoses specs on the HIKVISION europe web site. The swann NRV seem to be higher end than the lorex and the first offer of swann at costco was hard to beat.

Hey, i see some chinese letters on the date, are you able to removle them ? When you open the web page of the camera do you have choice on language in the upper right corner ? I haven't really tried, but assume I can. This is the camera I had the problem with the IP address so have reset it to defaults several times. Its off right now (the POE switch is a little noisy), but will have another look at it after I've got through my work emails. So if you want any other snapshots let me know and I'll try my best.

Here is a youtube clip from EXIR 1.3 mp cam As you said, we see some small stuff close to the lens... their is always trade off but we clearly see the 50m sign.
