I take it this US version won't work on a Chinese camera without the edited davinci file.

The iVMS4200 can be used as a remote client to review live and recorded footage from the PC based PC_NVR. Both iVMS4200 and PC_NVR look similar in many ways but the PC_NVR is specifically tailored to run 24/7 on server or standalone dedicated PC.

Whats the username/password to logon to the ftp as it will not login for me.

I set DHCP Reservations for both my cameras in the router.

Have you enabled NAT in the Hikvision browser software and does it show your WAN IP Address, also I needed to enable DHCP.

Does anyone have an edited davinci file for Firmware V5.1.6 which i got from Wrightwood Surveillance forum. I have upgraded from Firmware V 5.1 and now the Hikvision Browser is in Chinese Only.

Managed to sort this now thanks.

I have firmware V5.1 do I need to update this to firmware 5.2 before I ftp the file over as I tried this on firmware V5.1 and get a Error no space left on the device. Any help appreciated.

I can confirm my camera does not have a built in speaker but there is an option on loom to add an external one.

I would definitely Recommend the camera to anyone and coming from the 700tvl Sony Effio is a BIG step up not only in performance but build quality also which is Awesome.

Yes I have the one with the built in Mic and WiFi Hikvision DS-2CD2532F-I The microphone is very sensitive indeed and if you can past the wind and environmental noise easy 20-30ft with the volume turned up. I bought mine from Ali-Express Fiona £124 delivered DHL to Uk 5 days.

Not sure what the exposure is set at as I am still working my way around the software and being honest the night video has a lot of smear and shadow but I have read somewhere this can be adjusted in some settings somewhere and needs looking at . As for the Day video on a 2.8mm lens I think it is very acceptable indeed and no it's not going to read number plates at 30yrds you would probably need a 12mm lens with a narrower viewing angle to do that. I bought it mainly for watching the cars mine and the wifes who parks across the road hence the 2.8mm lens maybe I should have gone 6mm but well happy with the quality it produces much much better than my 700 TVL sony Effio. Here is another small clip during the a dull day. http://youtu.be/kXYMjTCK3Po Placed the camera under the bay window as picture below:

Aliexpress I bought the camera from Fiona ( China Security Wholesale ) To be honest there is a street light straight outside my house and I get some glare from the dome glass on the camera but still very acceptable. The sound comes through when I enable it in the hikvision software right click in the image ..> enable Sound.

Hi first thanks for this great forum and I have just invested into upgrading my old 700tvl camera's to the new 1080p IP cameras from Hikvision and all new to me and can't wait for it to arrive from Aliexpress UK English Camera model Hikvision DS-2CD2532F-IWS w/Audio, 3MP Mini dome w/Built-in Wi-Fi Network IP camera. I intend to buy a 2-4 tb Western Digital Purple hard drive for my pc to store the data. Would someone confirm all I need is the Hikvision ToolKit from there site to get me up and running obviously I need to open ports on my router and stuff. The Camera comes with Version 5.1.0 but the seller on AE states he/she will update to latest 5.1.2. Questin^ Can the camera be downgraded and upgraded? I have done quite a lot of homework on what camera would suit my needs and I decided 2.8mm would give me a nice wide angle and reading this blog made me go for the same camera but with audio http://www.networkcameracritic.com/?p=2158. Looking forward to getting it now and opted for the 3-5 day DHL postage.
