Sorry to say, our hosts allowed the auto-update to repeat the following day - and we suffered another 5hrs of downtime! :rolleyes: All fixed now [fingers crossed].

An automated overnight patch update to our forum server broke it at 1am. It took our host an inexcusable 14hrs to attend to it, and 5mins to fix it! So much for our Managed Service and 1hr SLA?!? It is increasingly likely that for their "persistent knobheadery" they will not be our hosts next...

VIGI's NDAA confirmation statement is attached.

Canada's Industry Minister Melanie Joly broke this News, ordering Hikvision to cease all operations in Canada, on X early on June 28th 2025: Reuters were one of the first to cover this development...

Your front garden? Typically, a public area where anyone can see what you do. Or your back garden? An area where you might reasonably expect privacy. As a general rule: Home / private CCTV systems are not covered by the Data Protection Act (do not have to comply with it). There was a case a...

Yes

Sorry, I'd never heard of that brand before. I've searched and found a few sellers in the UK. There WAS an expressone.co.uk website as shown on datasheets for their products, but that is now gone (has probably been gone for a while as the domain is up for sale). Perhaps contact one of the...

Each POE port will be independent. Able to provide POE power to a single camera.

Is there a reason / back story to why you are using TFTP for your firmware update rather than the normal tools & methods?

Can you cycle the power please - switch it off, wait 30 secs, and on again - then check whether you can browse to it. If that doesn't work, we'll try to find the correct current firmware.

My colleague just shared your other thread (linked below). Did this camera work OK before that failed firmware update? Have you tried an update with the correct firmware? Have you cycled the power to the camera after your last attempt to update the firmware...

Perhaps try using SADP to change the camera's IP address. Allow the router to DHCP set an address and see whether it then works. Maybe there are rules in your router blocking that high range address? Can you access the DVR OK from the browser?

OK, thanks. Did you manually set the IP addresses for your DVR and camera? SADP IS finding them, so they seem to be present on the same network as your gateway/router. What other network devices are in-play please? e.g. POE switches, powerline, wireless bridges, etc.

Double-click on the camera's IP address 192.168.1.226 in row 2 in SADP and it should open your browser at the camera's login web page.

Not the IPv4 Gateway address. The column to the right of Status.
