Recently I saw the news about the Hikvision cameras being blacklisted. This came after a time where my office just installed cameras throughout our office.
Firstly, do they phone home with data like this?
Secondly, is there an open source system that could manage these cameras that anyone can recommend?
- Maxious 7y agoSome Hikvision cameras do seem to connect to the aptly named hik-connect.com https://medium.com/@evstykas/hackvision-8f50924e56d https://medium.com/@evstykas/hackvision-8f50924e56d Open source solutions include https://zoneminder.com/ https://zoneminder.com/ https://www.ispyconnect.com/ https://www.ispyconnect.com/ https://www.bluecherrydvr.com/ https://www.bluecherrydvr.com/ Hikvision cameras typically support the common ONVIF standard even if it needs to be turned on https://securitycamcenter.com/enable-onvif-hikvision-cameras/ https://securitycamcenter.com/enable-onvif-hikvision-cameras...
- HEHENE 7y agoThe correct way to setup security cameras is to slap them on their own segregated network, completely disconnected from the internet. Your IPVMS appliance has two NICs, one to connect to the camera network, and one to connect to your main network / the internet. Open source IPVMS: https://zoneminder.com/ https://zoneminder.com/ Paid ($90 per cam for lifetime license): https://digital-watchdog.com/productdetail/DW-Spectrum-IPVMS/ https://digital-watchdog.com/productdetail/DW-Spectrum-IPVMS... (Not affiliated, have just installed hundreds of cameras on DW systems and have never had a bad experience.)
