So after hearing about the latest internet attacks against the internet directory services, I have a few questions regarding my IP camera security. It seems that most of the DDoS attacks were coming from things like internet based cameras. I have 3 Hikvision DS-2CD2032-1 cameras using hardwired...

Yes disabling the infrared seems to have solved the problem. Since the front trim lights are automatic, that gives enough light. I only noticed a cat and a rabbit a few hours later last night.

One of my cameras (Hikvision 2CD2032-1) has a problem with small bugs flitting around the camera at night time. It sometimes will cause the camera to record on a continuous basis. I am not sure if it is the camera's infrared led's attracting them or a nearby light fixture. I have tried...

Well changing the camera user id's and formatting the nas drive seems to have worked. I am seeing video recordings from both cameras now. Thanks for your help.

Further investigations. After the last format, the NAS showed normal for several hours. Then when I checked the "enable record schedule" the nas went to uninitialized.

So I have been trying to do this without success. I purchased an identical 2CD-2032-1 camera and it works fine when I log on and program it. I then created a new folder on my nas drive. I can format the nas drive and it shows normal. Then after several minutes the status changes back to...

I have one Hikvision 2CD camera recording video to my 1TB nas hard drive. I believe that by creating another folder on the hard drive that I can have 2 cameras recording video on motion detected to that hard drive. Both camera will point to the same ip address of the drive, but record to...

Well even a blind horse can find the barn door sometimes. I was able to finally make the camera work with my NAS drive. The key was setting the mounting type to SMB/CIFS and entering the NAS login and password. It formatted the drive and I have been recording video on motion detection ever...

So I can view video remotely over the internet and get email alerts on motion detected. But, I have not been able to record video on motion detected to my nas drive. I have the nas drive set up with a fixed ip address and have done the steps in 6.1 of the manual (configuring nas settings). But...

I tried to upgrade the firmware for my DS-2CD2032-1 camera. It already has version 5.10, but I am hoping that reflashing the camera might resolve some of my problems. I downloaded the Digicap.dav file version 5.1.2 from your website. However after I start the upgrade, I get an error message...

Excellent tutorial. I have the Hikvision DS-2CD2032 and noticed that you stated that the senders email address must be a gmail address. Is this true? Also a separate question. I can view/record live video & snapshots. But I have been unable to record video after setting up motion sensing. A...
