- Description: Hikvision have implemented a plugin integration with Net2 using Paxton's Video Integration Platform. This allows Hikvision NVR's (Network Video Recorders) to be listed as a camera integration within Net2 and provides an easy configuration of the NVR details and camera detection. These cameras can be associated with individual doors to monitor access. Currently the system is only able to associate 1 camera per door.
- Net2 compatibility: v5.01 onwards
- Languages available: Most languages available
- How to buy: www.hikvision.com or email: support@hikvision.com Download Hikvision driver for Net2: ftp://Hik_Paxton:Paxton_Hik@ftp.hikvision.com

That's wrong
Camera should fit "flush" with no gap
Check it is the correct bracket for the camera, there's quite a few
Examples of correct fitting:

Love the bonded ADSL!
Guessing it works just as well, and the only solution short of FTTD?
Due to the location of the site we were limited by the connections/speed available. Ideally we would have gone leased line, but BT quoted £300k to install fibre.
and the permits required to dig was just getting silly.
Luckily there where enough copper pairs left in the existing BT cable to go with a dual ADSL solution.

there is more than the server there tho?
Its a 3U Cisco blade:
Router/Firewall
Server
Switch
But in order to run all that:
WAN Link (bonded ADSL)
Internals of cabinet
BT Router top
Backup router, should the one in the Cisco blade fail

That's delivery companies for you!
Dropped them about 100m from the entrance in the carpark. There's over 250kg of weight there too

and another one being prepared.
and approx £100k worth of accompanying switches and routers

Top image is, show the old Milestone server at the bottom as we prepared to move it onto the new virtual server.
Bottom image is it moved into new sound/dust proof cabinet

VMWare management using VSphere (desktop client) is simple.
On each Virtual server you can set max/min CPU, memory, LAN usage. So for CCTV we priorities LAN bandwidth, but not processor and memory.
Its so easy to monitor everything through one client.
Typical VMWare setup:
- ESX server host
- Virtual Centre Server
- Virtual Infrastructure (VI) client
- Web Browser
- License Server
- Database

alpat whats your thoughts om virtualbox?
We did briefly look at oracle VB, but the lack of support was an issue. Obviously cost wise VB wins hands down.
VB is great for desktop virtualisation, VMWare for enterprise solutions
VMWare also does quite a lot more, and is considerably quicker
From what I remember the main issue for us with VB was controlling hardware ports through each virtualised server

Another vote for Milestone + Dell Server
We've recently created a Cisco blade "security" server with router/firewall, VMWare with servers for Milestone CCTV, Paxton Net2 for access. Nice one "box" solution

First time in 10 years were quiet on the infrastructure side.
April usually triggers orders from our bigger customers. Speaking to them it appears there budgets have been cut, causing a knock on effect.
Project management side is still healthy.

What BNC connectors are you using?
TVI can be very fussy with the BNC termination compared to "old style" analogue.
Make sure when terminating the BNC that the foil shield and braiding on the cable is cut back so its well clear from the centre conductor/pin. You don't normally have to worry about this so much with analogue but I've witnessed a similar fault to what your describing.
Just for test purposes try connecting the camera to the DVR using CAT5 and baluns
-
We advise the client of the potential risks and offer a solution. This is either re-configuring there existing routers/switches/firewalls or installing new CIsco kit or if on a budget we'll use smoothwall http://www.smoothwall.org/
For me, keep the network security separate. Its too complicated for a CCTV installer to undertake
Don't forget a single DVR can provide a route onto a network.
Below is an example of a system we've recently installed. Its using a Cisco 3925 service router, with layer 2/3 switch, server blade and application acceleration.
Installed on the blade server is Milestone software for the CCTV (But this could have been a separate DVR plugged into the switch). Data/Voice/CCTV is all separated by VLANs and QOS is used.

We mainly use Axis with Milestone for I.P, been a partner from the very beginning. Briefly tried Mobotix/Pelco/Bosch/Verint etc but they all seem to be playing catch up to Axis.
We've got some very large complex systems out there using analytic's and linking to various 3rd party systems.

It depends on which 800 series router it is as to whether http is enabled. We normally disable it after programming. Https is normally still available.
If you have a cable you can try programing it. I bet there's plenty of YouTube videos on how to do it.
-
So what was I missing here? (Other than someone who knew what he was doing?)
A Cisco Certification
How did you try to browse to the router?, was it via the web (I.E, Chrome etc) by any chance

The majority of modern lifts have spare pairs available in the control wires, some may even be assigned for cctv use. Don't use wireless, it won't work in this situation
-
Use a UPS on the DVR
on another note...
This is also a common fault with data networking when one network switch is on one phase and connected via Cat5/6 to another on another phase.
You get around this by connecting them together via fibre optic cables.

I have personally had issue after issue on one site with firmware and a few other things, going on for months, now hopefully have seen it through though. Touch wood.
With the IP we've had firmware issues too.
At the moment we have the HDTVI on test, its looking promising.

Personally I'd stay away from the 1280H, and look at Hikvision HDTVI

What cctv brand are fellow installers using?
in CCTV & Access Control
Posted
We use https://www.videcon.co.uk/ as the alternative to HIK
The majority of Councils / Government customers run there CCTV/Security projects under NEC3 contracts and CDM rules.
They expect the security experts they have chosen, who would have been selected to go onto there procurement framework to be principal Designer/designer. Its extremely rare you will come across a government institute who would become design responsible.
