That is a old version of 5.10. I would recommend getting the latest build from Avigilon and upgrading your server and client.

Need to be more specific then that. 5.10.0.x is the format.

Terminate the camera end with a RJ-45 and run right into the camera.

Oh. So being HikVision, that explains why Interlogics has H.265. {snicker} ... And you took over a school with 800 of them! Impressive. There's something to be said for aiming 2 cameras on every desk, and double 360 degree coverage indoors and out. You are always so abrasive for what ever reason. I said before there and no H.256 official Hikvision cameras on there website which is true. You found interlogic cameras that have H.256 that are OEMs which is great. I gave an example about real world experience with a large Enterprise customer and how poorly they perform compared to there cheaper none OEM version. Then you make a stupid comment and a project that you no nothing about. You say your time is valuable yet when people that clearly have more experience then you try to give you advice you attack them. Keep trying to stick a round peg square hole as I look forward to your next post that complain about making your solution work.

Interlogics cameras are absolutely Hikvision OEMs. We took over a school with 800 of them. Basically Hikvision cameras with the GUI colors changed with less features. Don't believe us order on and see if you can discover them with Hikvision discovery tool. Prisim software is bad.

H264+ belongs to hikvision and licenses out to others ..... But even hik stopped in July for the new h265 NVRs and cameras in December ICRealtime have sold 4K h265 cameras and recorders for over a year ..... U.K. Internet tv is h265 stream Hikvision has zero H.256 none gray market cameras in the USA as they are all H.264+. Many manufacturers have smart h.264 codecs including Axis, Samsung, Panasonic with others coming soon. Axis is on its second revision of ZipStream 2 which adds dynamic frame rate control and has no H.256 yet. ICRealtime rebrands Dahua products and reviewing their website quickly, shows no camera with H.265 support. Also, Dahua cameras/DVRs were a part of the largest DOS attack in the history of the internet so we have been staying away from them too. Again I have yet to see H.265 provide lower bandwidth than smart H.264 codecs. Heck, not all major chip manufacturers are implementing it yet. But once H.265 has it's own smart H.265 codec things will change but that will be in the next revision of H.265. I think H.265 will be a big deal but right now in the USA it is not. Linux might support H.265 but there are only a handful of VMS platforms that support Linux and out of those VMS platforms I would be surprised if more than one or two supported cameras with H.265.

H.264+ is backwards compatible with H.264. H.265 requires plugins and no ONVIF support yet. You can get cameras with H.265 support but currently, H.264+ options are going to save you more bandwidth with little to no compatibility issues that you are going to see with H.265.

To a point yes that is right if you are using a h265 camera on a h264 machine you will use more cpu while converting to h264 and then not see any bandwidth saving at all. H265 to h265 (not +h264) less cpu half bandwidth there are a few vms Geo Ave Vivotek Axis by the end of the year I have seen multiple tests showing Smart H.264 codecs saving more bandwidth than current H.256 cameras. Factor in current H.265 support for current VMS platforms and you have a mess on your hands. Example: I am running Genetec 5.5 at my office and I have the new Samsung QND-7010R with H.265 support and I can only use H.264 with Genetec at the moment.

Think you're being a little bleeding edge with the H265 recommendation as it is still being adopted. Very little major VMS manufacturer support, more CPU/GPU usage and little or no bandwidth savings over current Smart H.264 codecs.

Lol... You didn't even try... Go with Arecont they make great cameras.

Also if you are looking to go down the Hikvision road please be aware that Hikvision is owned by the Chinese Government. Rightly so this info has made a lot of people uncomfortable using their products

I doubt you will be able to flash it with Hikvision firmware. Hikvision is attempting to stop this practice. If you are looking for low light performance you should be looking at manufacturers that have low light products; Lightcatcher, Lightfinder, Starlight..... Then you need to figure out how much light you currently have to work within the camera's FOV. If it is pitch black or close to that you will need to add IR. If you want the best performance (which will also be the most expensive) is a low light camera and external IR or white light. I prefer white light over IR as color images are more useful for evidence IMHO.

You need to change the Admin password and close / disable TELNET /SSH access to the device.

FYI The Trendnet TV-IP311PI is a rebranded Hikvision Value 3MP dome camera.

We don't recommend Hikvision much because of their Chinese government ownership but here is their 4K dome camera WITH Audio in/out.

Yea we just took over a large 125 camera Dahua system with Avigilon. Customer liked the price of the Dahua system but when the other company installed it they quickly realized they made an expensive mistake. Multiple cameras failed in the first month and no one could get the software to work reliably. Not to mention the other company sold them gray market gear with zero warranty. I even spoke with Dahua at ISC and they said: "sorry we can't help them". Well, Dahua will NEVER be installed by this customer ever again. Also, most people aren't aware but the largest DOS attacks in the history of the internet have involved Dahua cameras and NVR/DVRs.

It might but your going to have a much better system with Avigilon's VMS.

I would do 10ft or less. I would also loop the cable at each mounting point so the gell doesn't drain out the bottom of the cable.

Avigilon does not have Linux based software so if you want Avigilon on Linux you will have to use their 4 port Edge recorder. Most of Avigilon's camera have 2-way audio. The SL line and Micro domes do not have audio. Also, I just responded to you PM. Sorry we are an install shop and very busy so I don't have the time I used too to check the forums

Dahua and UnView are NOT owned by the Chinese government.

328FT is the max distance between network devices without special equipment.

Indeed, and I believe competition on trying to do it will make for better products for the end consumer. I saw their "use an iPad old phone approach" I just dont feel comfortable with those devices in low light conditions, but it sure makes for a great marketing push. CamIO can use both cell phones for video and IP cameras via RTSP streams. Also Avigilon has their own which will be released soon. They can do is onsite without any connection to the cloud.

Deep learning is going to change the whole CCTV world. So far the best I have seen is from CAMIO. My demo unit comes in Monday so I can provide more feed back then. T7rYFmLOknI jmicmfEeJ40 6u_yi-sa2H8 nnNpBSdkyl8

If you vote NO I would be very interested if you explain why this does not concern you.

With all the Hikvision that is talked about on this forum surely people have to care right?
