Please help me to install a Hikvision 2032-I under Ubuntu

Could be the camera is bad, has issues, don't know, but it's behaving weirdly.

Yes, but this applies as well for the other Hikvision I've got. So either this cams are really low quality or there's something up with my router.

I've set my router back to 192.168.1.1 with the original DHCP-Range of 192.168.1.33 - 192.168.1.64 now. Reset the camera on factory defaults. Give a virtual ethernet of 192.0.0.128.

Don't get the cam with

Interface: eth0, datalink type: EN10MB (Ethernet)

2 packets received by filter, 0 packets dropped by kernel
Ending arp-scan 1.8.1: 256 hosts scanned in 1.490 seconds (171.81 hosts/sec). 2 responded

But can ping it on 192.0.0.64. Get Liveview (on Ubuntu Quicktime and VLC works - didn't get MPEG though: It demands an autentification, obvisiously admin / 12345 won't work).

Also: I get consistent open ports with nmap with above settings:

If you were near me in So Call I can test it for you or try one of my cameras on your PC, if not maybe someone else here is local to you. Maybe the injector is having issues.

Thanks for your offer. I'm from the other side of the globe unfortunately.

Do you have a 12V adapter from something else that plugs in? Then you can bypass the injector.

There is one with 12V - 15W. But from above it doesn't seem the problem. Maybe I should leave it like that? Also in the DHCP page of my router there is a button which alows assignment of other IPs subnets. Maybe I could try to store IP 192.0.0.64 there.

The second header of the hikvision software (translates to "playing" or something in English) unfortunately says: No plug in detected. Some way to get it on Linux? As this would give me motion triggering/recording.

Have you tried a different router?

Something not controlled by your ISP preferably...

I guess there is an old one in the basement. But I'm not sure if it's still working with current ADSL standards and if there is a power adaptor. Also: I certainly don't have a password for the admin interface.

It must indeed be the router:[/b] I tried the old Netopia Router now with two ethernet connections: One to the NUC and one to the IP-Cam (over the PoE-Injector). The Router Range ist 192.168.1.33 to 63 and the routers IP 192.168.1.1. The Webcam is set to 192.168.1.199. Now I can reach it without any problems!

The difference is that I have no DSL on this router though.

They send me a newer router.

What I could do in the meantime is try to add a port service in the current router. But which settings do I have to use?

Here is an example of the options of such a custom service (they are often used for games):

That's great that you narrowed it down to a bad router. There are decent DSL routers out there, I used a Netgear one for years when I had DSL.

The new router they sent me works. Perfect. But now I run out of ethernet-ports.

Between: The first time I accessed the camera it only has shown a Chinese or Japanese Login, when I reconneted the camera it showed the menu with all Languages. What could cause this?

Sometimes these cameras hold on to browser caches longer than normal and it was probably just something related to that. Ports is an easy problem to solve, time to start shopping for that PoE switch.

I see. I opened another thread for the Netgear switches. Maybe you can give me some advice.
