Digital Watchdog OEMs NxWitness in the US and now Hawha is also OEMing NxWitness. You can't purchase NxWitness directly from them you need to purchase though the OEMs.

Doesn't matter if you change your admin password.

Many Hikvision IP cameras contain a backdoor that allows unauthenticated impersonation of any configured user account.

The vulnerability has been present in Hikvision products since at least 2014. In addition to Hikvision-branded devices,

it affects many white-labeled camera products sold under a variety of brand names. Hundreds of thousands of vulnerable

devices are still exposed to the Internet at the time of publishing. In addition to gaining full administrative access,

the vulnerability can be used to retrieve plain-text passwords for all configured users.

Have a look at Nxwitness though you will have to order the Digital Watchdog OEM version.

Is this a PTP link or will you have multiple hops? Have you scanned to see what frequencies are currently in use? For longer links antenna selection is key.

Have to setup user access to restrict access only to viewing?

Thanks for the support guys,

 

Avigilon Server : 21.0TB-HD-NVR2

ACC version : 5.6.2.22

Camera model - Avigilon 2.0W-H3PTZ-DP20

Firmware version - 2.6.0.150

Network Topology - Star

You're running an old version of ACC5. Update that to the latest 5.10.14.2 This will also update the firmware on your cameras to the latest version then report back if the issue is still there.

What does support say about this issue?

done some more digging

 

Euresys Picolo.net HD8R

 

they claim it has a ONVIF Profile S interface

That looks like SDI as I did not see TVI on that list.

I highly doubt you would get anything more than an RTSP stream per channel out of other of those units but nice find anyway. I have tested the Hikvision 8 Channel TVI Encoder and I was able to get motion to work but there were studdering issues with the video.

The live video from CVI cameras is a uncompressed real-time video. The recorded video is compressed so you will never see the recorded image as good as the live.

Now will they drop the cost because it is hard to justify their pricing when connecting to a 3rd party VMS

I agree about the 50% waste, but this is the only way I could have a not too thick camera installed on my house facade and covering 180 degrees.

Issue is not the 50% waste going to the sky, issue is the bad performance on the remaining 50% ...

 

Do you really think this camera which would have been mounted on a parking ceiling would have been able to read plate numbers ??

no

 

So the picture quality has Nothing to do with the mounting .... it has to do with the camera capabilities

This is a very simple math calculation. You do not have enough pixels on target to ID licenses plates because the pixels are spread out over a 180 FOV. Wrong camera for the job.

Sorry I have to disagree. Covering areas where you don't want any blind spots which with schools, hospitals, arenas, restaurants and warehouses this is very important and we have seen a lot of traction with them. You get a complete view of the whole area without having to jump from camera to camera so you can track and objects better. Casinos call them chase cameras for a reason.

It's a fisheye camera and you expect to get license plates?

When used in the right application fisheye cameras are fantastic solutions. This is a classic case of using the wrong tool for the job.

I figured I would bring this one back from the dead rather than start a new thread. Its been a couple years and technology has changed. Does Avigilon or anyone for that matter make a comparable mobotix replacement? As in onboard storage, good analytics, and vms built into camera?

Yes check out Avigilon's ES cameras which have onboard SSD Storage and analytics that work very well.

Genetec now fully supports Mobotix as of 5.6

We do this all the time with Comnet, Planet and other DIN-rail mount switches. NEMA box+ DIN-Rail switch+DIN-Rail power supply.

For which VMS do you need the encoder to work with?

Not to mention Avigilon cameras have far superior motion detection then Univew and you are going to miss out on cool searching features if your not using Avigilon cameras. I would record you look at Avigilon's SL line of cameras.

Hikivision has them 8/16 channel options.

No need to a role a truck if they are installed correctly the first time. We had a couple of issues about a year ago then we adjusted how we install them and haven't had an issue since.

Also, you can turn the IR on from the client software and if you let your cameras get acclimated to the temp which they will be installed you will not have any moisture issues. If it's really cold where you install the cameras then use POE+.

Are you installing H3A cameras or H4? Are you using POE or POE+? If it is really cold you will want to use POE+ if you want the heater and IR to work at the same time. POE AF can only run IR OR heater.

To remove the condensation is easy:

Switch the camera to B/W mode and remove the service plug in the camera so the moisture can escape. Once clear replace the silica pack and put the service plug back on.

Well that is good as your going to get unless you add a lot more light or get a better camera.
