Recently upgraded to Hikvision DS-9616NI-I8 under Network --> Advanced --> Log Server Configuration entered the log server IP and kept default TCP port 514 clicked on Test and got "Test failed" status message popup. I don't get why certificate installation option is on the same page, yet I did install CA certificate (from our Microsoft AD CA) but installing the certificate using Cert Request fails no matter what i do. I created cert request with C=US and CN=<device dns name>, issued SSL cert using microsoft CA, exported the issued cert in base64, der, cert chain. I tried to play with extensions (.pem, .cer, .crt, no extnesion). I can't get the private key to convert to pfx. Any ideas? Thank you.

Somebody knows the answer

As title says: I have a choice between Cisco SG300-52MP L3 switch and Hikvision 7716 NVR to configure and physically connect ports to Hikvision cameras. Since I am coming from IT background I am strongly leaning towards using Cisco SG300-52MP to use as physical link to IP cameras. I will configure SG300 to have a dedicated VLAN with its own subnet for cameras. In addition to SG300 dominance vs Hikvision 7716 in networking, I feel much more comfortable with Cisco NBD advanced replacement in case switch goes bad vs dealing with HikVision or its distributers What are the recommendations for this scenario? residential install, 8 Hikvision IP cameras, longest run is 150-170 ft. Existing network: main VLAN is VLAN1 with 10.5.15.0/24 subnet. Cisco SG300-52MP VLAN1 IP is 10.5.15.9 Hikvision NVR 7716 LAN1 static IP is 10.5.15.39 Hikvision internal IP (for POE ports 192.168.254.xx) 192.168.254.1 DHCP 10.5.15.30, 10.5.15.31 DNS 10.5.15.30, 10.5.15.31 Gateway Cisco ASA-5505 VLAN1 10.5.15.1 Proposed CCTV VLAN is VLAN2 with 10.5.16.0/24 subnet. What is the preferred network configuration including VLAN restrictions, routes, physical connections, etc? Thank you.
