This is not necessary the IP address that is invalid, it can for some reason be a number of things. You should now see a screen shot of the Camera output. ( I havent gotten this to work )įill in the required information about the camera. Uncheck "Search camera(s) automatically".Go to "Camera Configuration", click "Add".Now to the Surveillance Station, core whole setup. In the next step "QNAP SS" step there is more do do with the "Push Service" before is actually works. Everything here should be pretty straight forward. I had this issue the first time I set it up. Not sure if everybody runs into this, but if you don't get any motion alarms or can't get "Dynamic Analasis For Motion" to work, try "Disable" then "Save" and then "Enable" and "Save" again. You can also open this endpoint in a browser: Ī guy here used it for Hikvision Motion Detection in OpenHAB using node.js, which is really awesome if you want to extend your surveillance system.Ī link to Hik Vision IP Surveillance API User Guide. Remember that Email/SMTP settings needs to be entered under "Network" I used this for testing that it actually worked. In the previous step, your can also check "Send Email" if you want to the Camera to send an email if there is any motion. Test Motion Detection is working on the Camera. I guess the "Trigger Recording -> A1" is if you have a network drive mapped and want the box to record to there. Under "Linkage Method" select "Notify Surveillance Center".Under the "Arming Schedule" i have 24/7.I did not really need that, but some people have complained about the Sensitivity of "20" is not low enough on "Normal" mode. Under "Configuration" on the page, there is also a "Export" mode which gives you lots of option. if it's recording outside, it is a good idea to enable "Enable Dynamic Analysis for Motion", so if can see what is actually triggering a motion. When trying to figure out what the Sensitivity needs to be.Set a check in "Enable Motion Detection".Click the "Configuration" -> "Event", whcih will automatically take you to the "Basic Event" page.You need to reboot the camera afterwards to make it take effect.Change both "RTSP Autentication" and "WEB Authentication" to "digest/basic" from "digest".Click "Configutarion" > "System" > "Security".I'm not however 100% sure why, since it can connect and see the output from the camera without them. My tests shows these settings needs to be changed for motion detection to work. I also added a user "record", but this was only for testing other things.HikVision has disabled this be default since firmware version 5.5.x Go to "Configuration" -> "Network" -> "Advanced Settings" -> "Integration Protocol".This is needed for the QNAP SS to be able to correctly get information from the camera. The setup is done in Internet Explorer 11, because I could not get the plugin to work in other browsers for the Motion Detection. the setup of push if something goes wrong to the NAS itself. But this was way the easiest setup of it all. 15 meter of rope to make something move in front of the camera :-). I ended up having something hanging from the ceeling to test motion detection on the Hik Vision camera. option to remove devices, stop push and the best "Send test message". This was also setup to support Push Notification on the QManager app for Android.įor some odd reason, QNAP actually did a good job here. I will however close all other than 443(https). But for a starter just to make sure this did not get in the way, I just opened all of them. So I could probably close some of the ports since they both want 80, 443, 80 for everything to be "OK". I haven't published any services to the outside wrong. I wanted to be able to access it on the "GO" so this was a nice easy way to see if everything is actually okay. depending ofcause on how you want to access it from outside your own LAN. On the QNAP NAS box, make sure everything on myQNAPcloud is ok. Kind of what needs to be done in that order. Here I will describe all the problems I ran into, so others may use less time setting it up. I got a HikVision DS-2CD2342WD which is amazing, no real complaints here, other than way to many options for motion detection, but thats luckily a good thing. In the end, they did not even know there own system. I got help from there support team, but in the end they wanted to have access to my system since they could not replicate my issue. But wow, what a journey down the path with absolutely no real good documentation from QNAP SS. Being a gadget freak I wanted my own home surveilllance security system.
