Hi, We have a Hikvision DVR for out home CCTV system. The DVR is connected to the internet for remote viewing, We already have a VM router with the Router Firewall set to maximum and access control setup so that only approved devices can connect or pass data through the router. Is there anything else that I can do to make the setup even more secure? I've read about Hardware FIrewalls and how they are used with CCTV systems commercially, has anyone used these? Thanks Marcus

I still could do wth a NVR that would allow remote viewing and email alarms. Would be thinking that something like that should not cost more than £200 for the NVR only.
-
Can anyone help in this email setup please?
-
Please don’t buy anything else from that company ….. £500 ($590) for one camera and a budget nvr hilook ….. which is hik cheapest unit . Should of been no more than £150 with hard drive fitted also power assisted camera £100 …. Is just a powerline adapter…. Rip off
-
I have spent about £500 on 1 camera and recorder up to now. I Can get a second camera with a power assisted connection. I have talked to cctvkit.co.uk and for £100 I can add a second. I am mainly interested in the NVR and the email here. This is a home use only system.

Recommendations for AI based NVR?
Whatthehex replied to Whatthehex's topic in Digital Video Recorders
We really like the Lumana AI system. In the demo it was very fast and easy to search for anything. Basically it is indexing A LOT of data such as car types, colors, plates, people, if they are carrying a package or not, etc. They install some hardware at your facility that does the video processing. Another benefit is that it's the hardware in the AI video processor that does all the work, vs it being done by the camera. You have advanced search functions even with totally dumb cameras. The only issue is that it gets rather pricy as you are charged a monthly fee per camera. That lead us to start looking to see if something similar is available that one can purchase rather than pay a monthly fee. We probably don't do the volume of searches that would make the cost of Lumana justifiable to management but we are interested in something like that which allows the feed from any camera to be used for advanced searches. We're located in CA. Our Hikvison NVR was ~$5,000. Budget depends on what it can do and what it may be able to save us in terms of being able to use cheaper cameras and waste less time when we do searches. If we had the Lumana system we'd probably do a lot more searches because it's so easy and fast to look for staff not doing their job for opportunities to boost productivity, etc. Now we only do searches when something big happens that we need to document. I've never tried a PC based NVR. Not sure if using a PC based system might be better than using the Hikvision. -
Hi Paul what is your budget and amount of cameras used also your location

Sorry for not getting back to anyone here but I am still trying to get to grips with this. To use SMTP you'll need the username & password of that email account to send from. The from is the NVR. It's the to is mine. I have a sender and a sender address. Is this the email address of the NVR? It does not have an email address I am asuming receiver 1,2,3 is for sending up to 3 emails to diffrent email address's This is waht have now.
-
putting it in a box will make it worse as heat generated by the camera would add to it. I had a problem a few years ago in putting a camera inside a nuclear power plant. Not easy.

Hi. Thank you for your previouse help with powerline connections. As stated in that I do have a HiLook NVR but acording to the manual I can get email notifications and remote view using by http::/< ip address of NVR>. However it does not have an IP address label on it. I am wondering if you can point me in the (UK) direction of a resonably priced NVR that does both emails and remote viewing. I would even like remote reording on a PC if tyhat were possible with web browser extensions or apps. Ta Paul.

Something like this … but you will need a power supply for camera or use a Poe switch at camera end ( switch will power 4 cameras) https://www.amazon.co.uk/NETGEAR-PL1000-100UKS-Powerline-Ethernet-Homeplug/dp/B01BD9TFI4/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=2U4QPD997NOCT&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.qvm_gQ5Qeh4zIWqKJzeCuHkCulZ3PqCLnHGXSA1Ehc3C5P-t_FIXo1YEHJWYqO8_r1BMyuf-31Jqkri7rAEfzIij5RuXp7-OGvTdGoMUSVedYV2xRuh7Ji_bZHnYdFGAnNMr_ksy3u78YupWNhEnuf-JwPdw65F8bYS-6Pz6lcshNyAHGaFGGdLIyfclX2pknuglHxzdz4YxcqTkBXp4rw.dbe8pGwa4i5i7AseQMVb4DnjrBA6-dUudpqvZU0EXVg&dib_tag=se&keywords=netgear+powerline+1000&qid=1712609155&sprefix=netegear+power%2Caps%2C93&sr=8-3

Thanks for that. I suspected it. Thanks Paul.

Hi when an over priced company lies to you then it’s a hint they have no clue powerline adapters have been around for years and IS NOT NEW TECHNOLOGY by them just buy a set of netgear powerline adapters and you have the same and work on any iP camera and don’t buy anything from that company they have listed 1 cam 1 nvr for £1.200 ($1.800) that has to be the most expensive one cam system in the world and that’s not fitted

Hi. I bought a CCTV system last year (HiLook). I was told that these were banned in the UK because of Chinese involvement. But as this is for a basic home use it works for me. I was looking for an additional camera to add. I found myself on a website for Basecom. I was surprised to find that you can get powerline cameras. I asked them about getting one and was told that their power line cameras were not compatible with my system. But if the output of a power line receiver is a standard CCTV cat5 cable I would have assumed that it would be a simple matter of connecting up. Am I wrong in this? Are the cables all different? I also realise that I would have to supply the 12V myself. I only want a second camera and a power line one would be great.

Gooseneck cable flashing for roof penetration.

Here is that exact model, or these might also work -
Hi. As you can see from posts over 10 years ago I am not a fan of hikvision it’s always been clunky and out of date. where are you based ??? what functions of Ai are you looking at using with your system ? most Ai nvrs also need Ai comparable cameras so just swapping out your nvr is not going to help what is your budget ? I have been using TVT for over 8 years and I have not seen anything better as of yet and the Ai side works well and no extra costs

We have a Hikvision DS-96128NI-I24/H NVR with 80TB storage. After seeing a demo of an AI system, and how easy and fast it was to search, I was wondering what NVRs out there have advanced AI search and features that can purchased rather than pay a monthly fee for the service which for 32 cameras gets quite expensive. Would like to replace the Hikvision NVR with something more robust with very good, fast, intuitive search capabilities. Anyone have such a system and are you happy with it?

Any software for Hikvision NVR viewing that doesn't suck?
Whatthehex posted a topic in Digital Video Recorders
We have a Hikvision DS-96128NI-I24. It records reliably but it's never a good experience remote viewing and/or searching for events. It's clunky and the Hikvision software just is cumbersome and also buggy at times. Since the workforce these days seems to be comprised of adult toddlers who need constant supervision, we need something that is more responsive and easier to work with in general. There are 32 cameras on the NVR. I need to setup something inside an office on site that will be connected via Ethernet or WiFi to the NVR. I also need something to view remotely preferably on a Mac or iPad. Appreciated any recommendations. -
Hi axis updated there app yesterday have you updated it yet
-
Axis appears to be discontinuing support for the use of 3rd party NAS accessed via the mobile Companion app. What alternatives do I have for a home system with 6 cameras, recording to a Qnap NAS, with remote viewing on my iphone? Thanks -

Swann NVR Night Recording
tomcctv replied to relbourn's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Hi. One good system is the TVT … I have been using them for installs the last 6 years it also has one of the best apps available with full control over the system the only problem with that Swann system is the cameras won’t work on anything else how many cameras are you looking for and what type of property will be protected ? -
Swann NVR Night Recording
slattery replied to relbourn's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Swann never did bother to fix this issue. Anyway my NVR7400 system is almost 10 years old now. Time for an upgrade. What is the best ethernet system out there in 2024? Preferably not Swann! -
Recording issue with NVR08-PKHD
Ahmed Abdulla posted a topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Good Afternoon ColleaguesI hope you are doing well . I have an issue with NVR08-PKHD . This NVR is 8 ports POE and have 5 IP Cameras connected to it . The hard disk is 1 TB . The issue that it records for very small time . For some cameras hours and for one camera only minutes.Based on the inside hard disk , It should record not less than 3 weeks .Attached is snapshots.SO kindly advice the root cause of this issue and the resolution from your point of viewThx in advance.Best Regards -
A cctv camera appears faulty, it shows a band at the bottom of the picture. I attach a picture showing the camera and fault. 2nd block down and 2nd in (i.e. middle block) The faulty picture shows on all good connections, accordingly it is the camera not the wiring to that camera. BTW the camera was given to me a couple of days ago, I was also given a second same specification camera and that works excellently. I have tried all camera types available to my DVR i.e. TVI, CVI AHD and auto for this faulty camera; the good one works on auto & AHD Is this bottom band problem a known fault or is it simply a faulty piece of electronics that should be thrown away.
