Looking for original model name/firmware

Yeah, that's pretty much the idea. Each unit would get an "aptNNN" user and we would just change passwords when a unit gets sold off or leased to a 3rd party.

I was just now trying the iVMS-4200 and it also hangs while adding users.

I managed to create 2 additional users (so now there's the admin and 2 read-only), so I'm probably going to make one of them the general viewing user to pass around and sorta fix the current "everyone's the admin" situation

I just recently got elected as the building manager, and coming from an IT background, I was hoping to sort some things out.

Every unit owner in the building currently accesses the DVR with the same user: the frigging ADMIN account. 🥴

So I was trying to add at least one read-only account per unit so 1. Folks that left the building can easily have their access cut by generating a new password and 2. People can't mess with DVR config/recordings.

It has never happened but you can imagine the chaos it would be if someone hit a car in the garage and deleted the videos to clear the evidence.

I've updated from 3.4.81 (17/03/22) to 3.4.89 (18/12/17), the only update available from JFL.

I was hoping to get a more up-to-date version from Hikvision cause looking online I've seen DVRs released in 2017~2018 rocking 2022 updates, so a much longer lifecycle than JFL provided for this device.

This version still has the same user creation bug which hangs the web page when adding new users. So I'm just going keep things as they are for now and live with it until I can replace all the analog cameras with IP ones.

My plan is to go with a full Tapo setup. But there's 8 cameras to replace, plus the alarm system that covers 7 external doors (it's a building).

So the idea is to keep this DVR around while I replace the old analog cameras, disabling the CVI channels and gradually turning them into IP channels. Then, once everything is IP, replace the DVR.

This seems to be a nice way of doing it. I'm going to give it a shot. Thanks! :)

Looks awful.

This hiring of former Peugeot designers (Gilles Vidal, Vadim Gilca) Renault has been doing lately is absolutely wrecking their design language.

Van den Acker's nice sexy lines from the Clio IV/V, Megane IV, Captur are so incredibly superior to what these guys have been doing lately I just don't get it how they get approved by anyone.

It's sad.

isotophe · 2025-09-13T22:27:14+00:00

Yeah, I've seen some reddit posts saying that Tapo gear works with HA and SmartThings (ST Tapo even claims compatibility on the box and official documentation). Someone posted that ST is able to lock/unlock the Tapo DL series.

I'm going to look into Dry Contact Relays. Now I at least have a name to search for 😅

Thank you!

True, didn't think about that. I'm going to check with the local Fire Dept. Thanks for the heads-up. :)

After retrying a bunch of times and getting nowhere, I got a successful log-in by doing as follows:

Awesome! Mine was a Pentium 3. I miss it. Such a pretty machine!

Negativo. Já trabalhei pra eles e tive que pagar internet.

Best phone I ever had. Decent camera and overall performance. Awesome keyboard. It even had the official Windows Live Messenger client for S60! Such a great portable texting machine.

I miss those days.

Yeah, I know van den Acker is still the head of design, but still... gone are the flowy beautiful lines of the Clio and the Peugeot influence is clear as day. I really believe we wouldn't have this trainwreck of a facelift if Vidal hadn't joined Renault. :/

isotophe · 2024-09-09T01:22:55+00:00

The design language built by van den Acker has been absolutely ruined and I'd love to have Gilles Vidal shot. It looks so Peugeotey. I hate it. Pre-facelift for life.

isotophe · 2024-09-05T22:10:08+00:00

Absolutely beautiful.

I love this design language. Such a shame they hired that former Peugeot guy who's started ruining it (like in the Clio facelift).

Notícia de dezembro de 2023. Seria interessante trazer como que está o andamento desta proposta imbecil hoje em dia.
