    Indoor: Turret vs Dome?

    That’s exactly what I said .... and posted about for over 5 years on here but unfortunately people think it’s a good thing along with p2p the app problem is new and this is were forums come in ..... giving information on what is happening in the industry alerting people who are doing homework on what to buy ..... homeowners don’t get warnings on eBay and the likes ......... it would not sell if they put and other can also watch your system ..... that don’t have your ip your login op asks a question it was answered there is no point making a argument about a fact. People need to know about the apps because that’s what is embedded in there recorder it’s easy to do a QR swip and in other cases can only use that app...... so again the forum is giving good information 99% of people just want reliable cctv and not all the spy software and the politics that goes with some of the systems one the market today cctv has become a home or business intrusion for a 3rd party and it is best to stay away from those systems

    Point out we’re I did that comment .... it’s in your post. You know nothing about me ..... so don’t start bringing personal comments to the forum and read that part of the post again. cloud apps ... nothing to do with plug and play ..... it’s allowing footage to a 3rd party server and people login to that server not there home system. Again keep personal comments off the forum ... and again you know nothing of me a question was asked on this thread and a answer was given and the reason why ..... hik dahua Swann units contain spyware..... that’s a fact and nothing you or me can do can change it.

    What a stupid comment. Because the USA don’t like them ! There are far better recorders than hik. Listen read the reports BUT when you do I did not right them. I don’t know anything about that ... we’re talking cameras not kinder eggs So in reality....... even tho it may never be used as video evidence..... I can guarantee you 99% of people would not like to be watched in there home by strangers on there own cctv. Take last week 16.000 units of oem hik sent wrong customers footage to there apps ...... so if you logged onto your app to see your home but you got images of a gas station instead ...... just shows data is stored in China ........ if it does not bother you why argue

    For a start I did say high security and commercial ... ok government Yes your right .... but when a company puts software onto there systems is different... it’s been put on there for a purpose which is not needed and should not be on there. But I’m not going to argue about it ... it is well documented the op asked a question and it was answered the problem with domestic is the cloud apps and it does not matter what security is on your network because the app cloud service has been aloud that is its failure point

    yes This is why it’s banned in USA Canada Australia japan New Zealand soon Europe also oem of hik ...Swann now the same and taken from GDPR approval and a big court case starting and another manufacturer XMEye just made the headlines for the same thing ... hidden in there apps which is going to be another problem countie would not need to ban if it was as simple as firewall .... but even if was it’s also apps and China cloud services that’s another way out for data so yes the best thing is to stay away from hikvision But the bans are only on high security and commercial nothing for the domestic market ... home owners .... and home owners just relie on plug and play and routers supplied by there isp .... hence the reason lorex don’t have the USA or the Canadian ban it’s sold as domestic ... but still dahua owned dahua software

    Indoor: Turret vs Dome?

    Yes ... and like Larry has said dahua is also doing the same ..... but dahua did do a quick fix and now not only hikvision Swann (oem) has also now showing the same problems hikvision equipment and oem cant be used in most high security installs and those that have are being removed.
  10. Hi for 19 try this code eq9Rqqyzz and you enter it into password hope it works
  11. Hi try this code .... only works for today rSQQrqQRrq
  12. Symbols mean network camera loss when you say can see camera on app is that camera been added to the app or direct from recorder so your recorder only has 8 bnc inputs ? what size HD cameras are you using and how many
  13. Hi I think your just making it complicated load app onto a tablet ..... create a user with password for only the two cameras you need then it is just a matter of swiping cam1 then cam2 you can even setup on recorder to send image to tablet when anyone is in field view of any camera
  14. Ok. .... I don’t understand why you can’t mover your camera to 8 ..... but can you configure it to another channel

    DVR Firmware Upgrade

    Hi no need for pictures ..... with XMEye app you have connected to the cloud side which is pointless as it’s not a backup or anything And are you using XMEye for pc as vms and using same login details or scanned the wrong code under guide on recorder menu
  16. hi itv controller still will not work as the output is still AHD so won’t work on monitor you can go to cctv shops but like spec says it is a default AHD .... power down it will go back to AHD also so did you buy the camera for it’s spec ? 2mp

    DVR Firmware Upgrade

    Getting notifications is a worry I think your first option is to remove app and replace it with another .... which one are you using now
  18. Have the cameras ever shown on your recorder how are you connecting the ip camera .... with a switch or from your router
  19. Does your unit have bnc and poe on the back also what ip camera are you using
  20. Yes I see it’s a hybrid ... why can you not move it to 8 also have you clicked on the N with right mouse button to see if gives you options
  21. Hi looks like a 5in1 recorder what happends if you move that camera to input 8 do you get the same message mate you using ip or hd analog
  22. Hi. Sounds like a used drive ..... always best to install a new Hard drive you could try removing it and format it on a pc .. and then install it into recorder and let recorder format it..... if recorder does not format it from start there is a problem with hard drive. Also a used drive could also have a partition and recorder could see that as a problem

    DVR Firmware Upgrade

    Hi. For a system to tell you it needs a update is not good and does not happen are you using a cloud service what happends if your system is not on internet.... do you get the same message
  24. What the hell have smartphones got to do with it ..... just the same as pointless comparing photo cameras ..... not the same tech. Thats my point
  25. See how people get stuck on bad information..........so what about 8mp 4k over coax Just an excuse ..... might loose a day The old way moving sensors for b/w new cameras don’t .... it’s moved on we’re talking colour 24/7 but if the op wants to buy low quality and old tech and pay over
