    I got 53 IP cameras, which Switch and NVR should I get?

    You won't find 53-port POE switches, so break it down according to the locations of the camera count. By placing the switch(es) closer to the cameras you can save a lot of cabling e.g. a switch for the cameras on the first floor, another for the cameras on the second floor (just an example)...

    Dahua IP video door station -- Alarm inputs on VTH

    Sorry, we don't tend to get many Dahua experts here at this forum (most are experienced with Hikvision only).

    DS-2DF8225IH-AELW (Darkfighter X PTZ) restarting after dark?

    Yes, it is most likely that the units that you initially tried were not able to supply enough power / cope with the current drawn by your PTZ.

    Simple indoor security camera?

    Almost everything that we offer is Pro kit and non-WiFi (meaning that you would need to install and connect a network cable back to your router). I'd say that your most straight-forward and cost-effective solution would be to leave your WiFi on and select something from the so cost-effective...

    Powering a Ubiquiti POE dome camera from 24v batteries?

    The POE camera will expect the network connection / POE supply to be in a very particular format (the IEEE802.3a_ Standard). You'll need to source either a specialist POE switch that can be powered by your 24V batteries and produce POE to the standard, such as this example...

    V5 Firmware for M-series NVR users who urgently need to add a door station (b4 V5.03 ETA June 2024) V5.02.000 [Build 240329]

    This is a 'fix' for adding a door station to an M-series NVR. If you do not need this feature, it is strongly recommended that you wait for V5.03 (ETA June 2024).

    DS-2DF8225IH-AELW (Darkfighter X PTZ) restarting after dark?

    Well Done, glad you've solved it. Just for long-term reference / for anybody who lands here in the future: 3 volts will not make a significant difference. It is just a carrier voltage, that allows the POE to go the long 100m distance over small cable cores without suffering significant...

    Ubuntu 22.04.4 access to my NVR? [DS-7608NI-I2/8P]

    Hikvision have no tools / software that works on Linux. They are even dropping some support for Macs! I guess that you are considering whether you can still use a browser running on Linux? I'm afraid we don't know. It's an outlier / we have no experience with it, nor feedback from users that I...

    AX PRO AX PRO Installer in London?

    Remote monitoring centres tend to require the systems that they monitor to be installed in such a way that they comply with British Standards / best recommended practices. They want an effective system that avoids false alarms. They will very likely insist that they can get video verification...

    DS-7608ni-i2/8p HDMI to cat6 converter/extender?

    No, we have not used it specifically with that NVR, but we would not anticipate any problems.

    Accessing Plug and Play cameras from my network?

    Use plug and play with Virtual Host. Or, add the cameras to your network with LAN IP addresses then add them manually to the NVR.

    Incorrect user name or password after NVR reset/reboot?

    Your symptoms are fairly typical of a router replacement (which often results in a new network domain range, gateway address, camera IP addresses etc.). You've mentioned that you have SADP - use it to find your NVR. Log into the NVR at the IP address shown in SADP. Check the Network Settings in...

    Firmware New V5.2.006 Firmware for M and NXI series NVRs to fix a newly declared vulnerability [CVE-2024-29949] - 2nd April 2024

    My Forum Post 5,001! I just want to add to this thread that V5 is giving our team a heck of a lot of Support queries to deal with :( Just for a start-off it has completely changed how you add cameras to your NVR; new options, new screens, new things to set / unset.. And, about 50% of users are...
