    Hello, please help! I'm getting video signal interference problems. I have tried ground loop isolators, baluns, and combinations of both and STILL can't get rid of the crap on my screen!

     

    All my installations so far have used the same cheap 12v Ebay cameras and cat5 cable. Sometimes I get interference problems, sometimes I don't. I did one installation with 12 cameras and didn't need to use a single balun-all pictures had great quality. On another 12-camera installation, I had to use baluns and GLI's on ALL cameras just to make them look half way decent, and yet still have quality issues.

     

    Even more confusing, the installation with baluns and GLI's usually look fine during the day(although sometimes images flicker rapidly and are seizure-inducing, wtf?) but at night when IR-Cut switches to night mode, I get scrolling lines and ghost images drifting across the screen. Then they clear up and look fine when light levels change back to daytime.

     

    I usually run 3 cameras on each cat5 cable and leave one twisted pair for power. Is having the power this close to the signal wires the cause of my problems? Does running a separate power wire have any bearing on how much interference is induced into the signal wires?

     

    Those are the problems. If you do cheap installations, with cheap supplies and cheap labour, well, you will get cheap results.

     

    Cameras with cat5 cable and without baluns? Oh well.

    POE and none POE

    Just give security king your serial number for right firmware

     

    Those are HDCVI units, so there is no POE version.

     

    The N and P on Dahua firmwares usually relaters to PAL and NTSC versions. But I really doubt there are any differences, since our units are all PAL but can easily be switched to NTSC from the system menu. When using CVI/TVI/AHD cameras, and VGA/HDMI output, I guess you just don't care about that any more.

     

    But if the technician from SCK gave you a firmware, just flash that one. Why would you want to flash a random firmware downloaded from a random site that is not even for your unit?

    I ve a swann pro 535 ,is it possible to zoom out on this camera.I know you can zoom in using the app ,but I was wanting to zoom out so the camera is covering a larger area.

     

    No, not possible.

     

    Also hope this is not a silly question but what is the black hood for is this just for to limit the light on the camera.It moves backwards and forwards on the top of the camera itself.

     

    To protect a little bit the sensor/camera from the direct light from the sun.

    With any IP camera you can configure the resolution, the frames per second, and the bitrate as low as you want. The lower the bitrate, the worse the quality will be.

     

    So what you should be looking for is for a camera with the best compression algorithms. So given the low bitrate you want to use, the image quality will be better than with other cameras.

    Just though a firmware upgrade would enhance the box.

     

    You will get to have the latest firmware earlier.

     

    But Hikvision will not help you with it, it is not their unit; and GTEC will also not help you with it, it is not their firmware.

    Thanks,

    I have emailed IKVISION with same pic, they replied saying it wasn't one of theirs but it looks like a GTEC model so I have emailed them lol.

    The link you sent doesn't have a 3.35 only goes up to 3.34 but thanks ill let you know what GTEC say.

    Mick

     

    That was a typo, sorry.

    Hikvision will not give you support for an OEM DVR, of course, you need to contact the seller.

    Thanks.

    Updating the firmaware seems a highly convoluted process with needing extra cables etc etc

     

    I'll change the password to start with.

    When you say block it from the internet do you mean from the router or is there a setting I can change to do that?

    Presumably there is a way I can still access it over the home intranet in the meantime to access functions rather than having to get to the DVR and hooking up the monitor each time?

     

    You do not need any cables.

    (you need DVR-KN32)

    Securame is correct, the 888888 is a local admin account. It cannot be used over a network connection. Only from the headend with monitor and mouse.

     

    It seems I was not THAT correct; 888888 is a local admin account, and it should only work when used locally (if it worked as expected, which it doesn't).

     

    It surely does seem that there is an xploit that allows remote access of the 888888 account, which most people never bother changing the password (it seems any way that with some firmwares it can be accessed without a valid password).

    all passwords are changed, i have only admin and default account's. one user for dvr and they use phone to watch cameras

     

    Can you give more information on how you had the unit configured/connected online? I have also had 3 people contact me with this same problem on the last couple of days.

     

    - What devices are they?

    - Did you have open ports (I guess this must be yes)

    - What ports did you have open?

    - Were you using the default web port 80?

    - Did you use P2P to access the device?

     

    Thanks!

    The DS-7208HQHI-F1/N *IS* a current unit.

     

    Both your links are old units .... The HIK is only 1080 on first two channels and 720 on the rest .....which is pointless now with 1080 being so cheap.

     

    It does 1080p@12fps or 720p@25fps on all channels. It can also do 3MP@12fps on the first two channels.

    It also has two extra IP channels, but I am not sure it will be easy to get those two channels working with anything that is not a Hikvision IPC.
