Hi, I have been writing a bash script that would read image snapshots periodically from CCTV cameras. So far Hikvision has been the easier one. This url and this wget command seem to work nice. I activated a self signed HTTPS certificate that needed an extra option for wget. wget...

Was a bit too busy to get all information by one reading ... Deselecting resizing works :) Not yet tested with NVR. Another change is that this new method is very CPU intensive with Mac.

Thank you for updates and especially the release notes! Mixed first impressions with these updates. Installed to one NVR and two cameras. Plugin-free operation has been on the wishist for a long time. However, dependencies to ActiveX and H.264 do not sound like a fulfillment of a dream. It took...

A new NVR firmware has been published by Milesight. It would be nice to know what has been changed: 72.9.0.3-r3 2019.04.30

Just tried the upgrade with one camera. It still requires the web plugin. Disappointed and left a note in the OSD text field of their demo camera ... This and release notes (among other things) have been requested so many times - why don't they understand how frustrating it is to launch the...

I'll try these asap. Release notes would be nice to have.

You are welcome :) Great to see that it worked out of the box for you.

Be prepared for some experimentation with the settings. Here are my settings as an example. The version of Merlin is 384.8_2.

Wow - you chose a piece of the future. AX is beyond my current experience. However - most of the connecting devices today use AC and N standards so it could be better to configure it as an AC router. Seeing it supported by Merlin gives some guarantee of maturity. (some earlier models with their...

Hi Sam, Nice to hear about your choice. I am currently using Asus RT-AC66U B1 with Merlin firmware for RT-AC68U and can recommend the combination. Especially the OpenVPN is relatively straightforward as compared with some others. RT-AC66U-B1 Difference between HW Ver: A1 and B1 About |...

It is difficult to guess how long the support of these NVRs is going to exist and strange indeed to see a POE NVR without virtual host feature. The latest firmware for the newer model in the UK portal is V3.4.100 and the older seems to have got a fairly recent upgrade V3.4.103. Does this latest...

Hi Sam, It would be better not to use your NVR in the DMZ zone. If you need external access you could open a port to the NVR in your router. Still better is to set up a VPN server inside your home network and thus avoid open ports. Of those closed network menus (disabled functions) others are ok...

Very strange things happened with my UI-1009-PA NVR during the past week. It started by occasional crashes and rebootings. Later I found that the video frame rate didn't stay constant and varied between 2...11 fps and there were dropped frames in two important recorded events. (I had set the...

Hi Phil, does this brand offer something significant beyond the Milesight product range? The Android app seems to be of Chinese origin.

I have installed 41.7.0.67-r14 to my all cameras. No recent experience with human detection & adv. motion detection.
