I see, unfortunately I don't seem to be able to use the cam under Ubuntu over webadmin.

Hi

Over Aliexpress.com

Modell DS-2CD2032-I

Seriennr. DS-2CD2032-I20140503CCCH463021305

Firmware-Version V5.1.6 build 140412

Cod.-Version V5.0 build 140411

I saw that there is a newer firmware 5.3 available for above camera. I downloaded it on my desktop. How will I install it on Ubuntu?

If I click the firmware search box in the admin inside firefox nothing happens.

Hello

In my firefox browser under Ubuntu Linux I can't seem to access the H264 stream. There is a selector and only MJPEG yields a small field (I have to put in the camera password again to see it). On every other selector Webcomponents/VLC/Quicktime it states Plugin not recognized.

What can I do about it?

And is there still no better Linux support yet for Hikvision?

Seems not very trivial, I wonder if there is something easier possible trough the terminal. I tried:

avconv -i rtsp://admin:12345@192.168.1.199:554/h264 -f image2 -r 1 -y /home/nuc/Images/test.jpg

But it does only work with one shot or series, when I'd like to update only this test-picture.

Avconv is an Ubuntu-fork of ffmpeg.

I guess I figured it out with the two rotation screws now.

As I understand the Hikvision settings, the camera sends something via its own FTP-client. Hence I believe I would need an FTP server on my Desktop, nocht a file client.

II only see one axis in the middle which can go up and down or left and right, the other are not really axis, but allow to turn the rotate the camera horizonally. Hence it seems I can't mount the camera on a wall, but only on a ceilling. Well, Chinese quality.

I see, but it obvisously would need to set up an FTP server on my Desktop which is rather complicated and seems risky.

Good tip. Let's see, if I find some junktion box that has heavy enough walls. But what about the angle? This cam seems to have only a joing for up or down movement or left to right, but not both.

Found it, but now I get lots of noise.

This is fairly obvious, but Hikvisions GUI still is a nightmare to use.

Where can you disable its IR-lights?

I've set it now to a H264 Stream I found over a website and it's much better now, still more choppy than the original hikvision liveview though. Where's that iframe setting?

I get only one(!) frame per second with either Xeoma software or Motion. What could cause this? In the Hikvision Liveview I get the usual smooth 15-20 fps. Something with H264-keyframes?

Well, I'm not too familiar with FTP (But I remember I used FTP client to get my website online once).

What would I use if I store these pictures on my usual desktop via FTP?

Where in hikvision will you set that? I see something like a timing snapshot here, but I'm not sure where it's being stored.

What's 2Mp IPC? Compression? And how would you access these files?

So it's considerably below 1920x1080 pixel. Is there any way to change this settings?

I read about FTP-access on following sheet:

http://www.hikvision.com/UploadFile/image/2013082209323321094.pdf

Does it mean I could get a hi-res picture (H264-mainstream-quality) directly from the cam and 25 frames per second?

Can get someone familiar with hikvisions FTP capabilities yield some light into this matter?

And how would I mount it on the banister? It's a Hikvision varilens.

At least in 1080x720 pixels. If anyone intends to do the same. I collected the information one developper gave me into an Ubuntu step-guide:

Thanks, tape will do.

While my sister can access the admin, she can't see the stream. It shows a green blank.
