Hikvision DS-2CD2632F-IS under Ubuntu Linux?

Actually, the live preview works in Firefox on Linux. However, you are correct that to modify any of the image configuration settings requires the hikvision browser plugin (and that does not run in Linux).

Interestingly SADP isn't on hikvision's main site anymore. I could find a link in google-search for a country specific hikvision site and installed it.

 

What should I give for an IP / settings? I tried 192.168.1.64.

 

Here we go again: It always reverts to factory defaults soon after (interestingly to a different build). The order of screenshots is sadp.jpg, sadp2.jpg, sadp3.jpg.

Set the IP to an unused IP on your subnet (the first 3 numbers in the IP address). Do a ping to see if the address is being used. Use ifconfig to see what you Ubuntu PC is using and use the same subnet mask and gateway.

I set the IP of the camera via SADP to:

192.168.1.34

and IPv4 Gateway to:

192.168.1.1

Subnet:

255.255.255.0

 

However, I can't access the cam over my webbrowser via 192.168.1.34

I see the ip-cam with arp-scan now (192.168.1.34):

Tatung Company is my digital TV-Box and not the IP-Cam. 192.168.1.34 (Unknown) should be the IP-Cam

Unfortunately I couldn't access it over VLC. What's the issue?

How are you trying to use it with VLC? I'm not at my PC, but if I remember right, you have to open a stream and then put the rtsp URL in there and start the stream.

[empedokles 0]

Yes, over VLC and following command:

rtsp://192.168.1.34:554//Streaming/Channels/2

 

It say's that no connection could be established.

No idea, why it isn't working?

[brycenesbitt 0]

The http://www.hikvisioneurope.com/ HiKVision Europe site hosts webcomponents-3.0.3.9.deb,

a Debian/Ubuntu version of the browser plugin. It's from 2012 however, and could well have plenty of security flaws.

Yes, over VLC and following command:

rtsp://192.168.1.34:554//Streaming/Channels/2

 

It say's that no connection could be established.

 

In your example you have double forward slashes in the URL "//" vs. a single forward slash

/". That maybe contributing to your problem?
