Thanks for that, I've managed to update the firmware for the NVR but how do I update the firmware for my DS-2CD2383GO-I
(8MP) cameras and what is the latest firmware?
Unfortunately it won't support that. I read your other post regarding the static route. I'm thinking if you can't get that to work, to be able to access the camera on the 192.168.254.xxx subnet you'd maybe have to use a PoE switch behind your NVR. Connect the NVR network connection through that and connect the cameras to the switch - you'd then just reconfigure them with an address on your 192.168.1.xxx network.Hmm does anyone have an up to date link for the DS-7608NI-K2/8P firmware? I'm currently on 'V4.30.011, Build 200803', and I'm hoping there is newer firmware which supports enabling the third stream from the cameras.
Actually guys I've decided to 'hold' at this point. Reasons being:
- We get motion notifications through the HIK Connect App which work very well with the cross lines configuration we have set. If we did get motion detection working then we'd just have doubled notifications.
- As we have the NVR we have 24 hour recording (okay it's using terrible software) but it works. If we did get recording working it'd increase network traffic greatly and IMHO slow down the forum I run on my NAS\
- It doesn't look like we'll easily get stream three being recognised unless I do a lot of network changes that I think may well reduce security
I do have the low-res stream working for a quick check of things in the Home App and Apple Watch Saying that when things get a little less stressful at home (family health issues), I may look at using the second NIC on the NAS to see if that can allow the cameras to be accessed directly.......
Thanks to everyone who has been looking to assist me with the project..
My wife and I have an agreement. As long as it's 'for the home' it's an allowable spend. I spend on tech that she has little interest in, she spends the equivalent on stuff that I've no interest in!The CFO (wife) is strongly against any additional spending on IT now that I'm retired......
You don't have a 'quick link' like that for the DS-2CD2087G2-LU camera do you?
