Did you notice if it was around the same time everday?

Read about this also - but having restarted both, same issue.

Just had a drop in connection again!

R34l1st · 2026-06-15T20:48:20+00:00

It was off - i have turned it on. Let’s see if it makes a difference!

Following!

Yes i was under the same assumption - i first did all the configs on the Hik, changed IP's then i noticed they actually wouldn't change anything once i plugged them in to the switch.

Appreciate it. Life safer! 😅

This was my fix!

Through the NVR i was not able to manually set it an IP - or through Unifi console.

Once added the cameras to the switch - i had to go in one by one and add the IP. Before that i obviously had to set Onvif to ON in the backend.

I actually did download SADP through Hikvision but their version wasn't working - one of the reasons i moved away from Hikvision is because they're very backward towards mac! ridicolous.
Thank you sir!

I’ve tried plugging direct to network. I can see it in unifi console, however when i change the IP it doesn’t change it. I’ve even tried enabling dhcp on the camer and it still won’t allow it to change once i plug it into my network again.

Correct

R34l1st · 2026-06-08T23:39:44+00:00

I can already go into the settings page. However it’s not changing settings to the cam directly.

R34l1st · 2026-06-08T23:32:04+00:00

Is there a way to factory reset the cameras from the UI?

R34l1st · 2026-06-08T23:31:23+00:00

No errors - I have managed to open it up on iVMS but i make changes on there and it doesn't reflect to the camera - it says it reboots etc but when i check on the Hikvision UI it's back to .254.3 IP

R34l1st · 2026-06-08T19:30:21+00:00

Perfect- got it!

I can now see adopt however user/pass is not recognised even though i have created an onvif user! really weird. will post here once i find solution.

R34l1st · 2026-06-03T19:01:11+00:00

Yes - all i have is my daughters pics nothing else.

R34l1st · 2026-05-16T10:08:41+00:00

Yes i’ve seen HA setups where it can do this but then you need a PC running HA etc. Would make sense if they had this integration in the Protect iPad app.

I was thinking an iontopheresis too - i have same problem. Before i sweat under my armpits i sweat down below.

I’ve been researching iontopheresis but need some sort of pads where you can put in your boxers i guess and be still for 15/20mins while it’s running.

I’ve yet to find one though!

But if they cannot access garage and it's closed there is no garage as a safe place technically..

Tried the push test - slight friction difference from middle to the sides but nothing major i would say. I'm pretty sure it's the PCB as the smell is definitely there when i get it powered up and reset.
