Wanting to get the CCTV installed but also needing to run other cat5 cables around the house, it made sense to run in one of the cameras I have purchased for the house.
Both Cat5 and Cat6 cable exceeds the data transmission requirements for 4K cameras. It's the distance and power that is the main limitation. Cat5 is 24 gauge wire and cat6 is 23 gauge. The small the number the larger the cable diameter. Since PoE uses DC power and resistance builds up over distance its the cable diameter that limits the distance a cable can be used. With 28 years experience we've learned to keep it simple; with Cat5 limit the distance to 220 feet, for Cat6 cable limit the distance to 300 feet. The data bandwidth will not be your limitation, the distance will be.
Useful info
You are correct regarding the signal transmission abilities of Cat5 and Cat6 but with all due respect you are not correct about their Power over Ethernet (PoE) transmission capabilities. The PoE standards are designed around the same cable segment length limit that ethernet signal transmission has, 100 metres (~328 feet). You should not have any issue achieving 100 metre PoE transmission if you're using Cat5/Cat6 cables that have copper conductors 24 AWG in size (most common), let alone 23 AWG (less common) or even 22 AWG (rare). To claim that 24 AWG Cat5 has a PoE length limit of 220 feet (~67 metres) is simply not true. If you find that a camera cannot be powered by PoE when connected via 100 metres or less of Cat5/Cat6 cable, then you have a serious issue with the cable such as:
1. Damaged conductor(s)
2. Aluminium conductors instead of copper conductors
3. Conductors too thin (probably anything thinner than 30 AWG, depending on the length)
4. Cable is in an extremely high ambient temperature (like even hotter than a hot ceiling cavity) for most of its run
5. A combination of the above

Great video... Looking forward to part 2... Newly subbed and greetings from Ireland mate.
Great video, i just installed a Embedded NVR DS-7600 with Colour Vu 4mp cameras at work. I bgt Cat 6 cables online but the one snag is they have the rubbery bits where the cable end is. I believe its there to protect the cable from bending at the joint. Anyway, totally impossible to use the cable as is if fitting the cable protector that comes with the camera. Therefore i just trimmed it all off and reduced the little plastic release catch to.
Works a treat and can keep an eye on the unit from home just incase the alarm goes off. Also managed to figure out how to turn off the night light more by luck than judgement.
Must say its great kit and would recommend it.
Keep up the good work
Is it still working well?
Always try to stay a few steps ahead, for example have one recording unit visible and another well concealed, if they know you've got cctv they'll probably want to disconnect or steal the box, a concealed camera self contained with batteries that can last a year that takes a photo on a card when it detects movement can be put anywhere and even used when camping.
could just get a dummy unit? A broken one off ebay?
@@SpareSomeChange8080 Yes good idea, could get a dummy safe as well...dummy handbags and wallets too.
Thanks for the video, helped heaps. Does the camera allow 1 way audio so you can hear sound coming from outside to your mobile or NVR?
It depends which camera you go for. I have 1x camera that does audio, if i remember correctly you need the model number that ends with IU
Yeah I bought Hikvision DS-2CD2385G1 thinking it already has it built in. Hoping you would say it does and I just missed it without knowing lol
Apparently an alarm fitter told me you dril holes from the inside in a downwards direction or from the outside in an upwards direction so as to discourage water ingress from outside.
Yes, and always aim to drill outside in.
Hi mate. Great vid well explained. I’m thinking of getting this system. Have you done a video on setting up the cameras??
Hi,
Thank you, much appreciated.
I haven’t yet, I did attempt but found it difficult without showing personal info. I have two more cameras to add to the system, so will endeavour to put one together, to try and help.
Cheers mate
@@DIYJourney1 hi mate can you install my one 😀 plz if you can tell me the rate plz 🙏
@@karimshah4346 Unfortunately this isn’t my full time job.
I have noticed that some NVR's with POE ports in the back tend to fail at times.. If I want to put a 8 camera system, I would buy a 16 port NVR in case any of them ports fail. I DOn't have to buy another DVR in the customers house.... OR i can get a SWITCH with POE in it ? What does everyone think?
Great Video just a quick note 2.8 is how big the aperture is and how much light it takes in not how wide it is
So a 2.8mm isn’t a wider field of view than a 4mm
Its complicated but sometimes it relates to distance to the optical sensor and different focal lengths can get cropped in the lens design etc.... but google what is F-Stop explains it quite well (:
My general rule of thumb for someone buying a system who doesn’t want to know the technical aspect, is that 2.8mm is the widest field of view of the range, to which it decreases as the mm of lens increases.
I have the exact same cameras but one of them has gone blurry/foggy. They are not done cameras so I’m not sure how I’m supposed to clean them inside and out. Does anyone know what I should do in this circumstance please?
What size hard drive did you use for the 8 MP camera’s
For this system 2TB, however it not needed. With motion detection setup 1TB will be more than sufficient
Does anyone know where I can by the Colovu Gen 2 with acusense? Hikvision dies not sell to the public only dealers. I'm in the U.S.
9:46 - You can't connect to these cameras wirelessly as you said. The power port on the camera itself is there for if you have not got access to a POE supply to the camera. You'll still need a Ethernet cable connected from the camera to a router or switch on the same network as the recorder.
My apologies for the misunderstanding, what I meant by wireless is without an NVR, so have a power supply feeding it such as a poe injector or the like.
I've managed to sort last issue, Next Q, is there a way to set up NVR to delete older recordings as it gets full, or do do u just delete it all manually. Many thanks
If i remember correctly it is set from factory to rewrite the older recording’s
Deletes automatically
Hi, I am a new home owner and Persimmons did not provide info on the layout of the house (cables or pipes) so I am a bit concern in doing myself (but I don't mind doing the work) because I don't know what is in between the outer wall and the inside. You did not show any indication of caution, just got the ladder and drilled where you wanted. I can't do that.
I don't have any source of connections from the outside of my house to the inside.
How did you choose that location and what did you use to be safe at not piercing any vital areas?
I didn’t show any caution as if you are uncertain where pipes/cables would be ran then you should have someone who is competent to do so.
I chose the locations and cables routes by knowing where the cables may run and carrying required checks beforehand
@@DIYJourney1 OK, so you did check prior doing it, all good.
I bought a "real" Hikvision NVR about two years ago and have had *zero* issues with it. It just freaking works. Always. My neighbor has a knock-off Costco system and is always having connectivity issues.
Too right 👍🏻
My first system was Q-See from costco. I wanted to be able to return it if it stopped working after a month. It's been over a year, no issues at all. I also bought the Swann for the same reason, and have been pleasantly surprised to have almost no issues with 2 nvrs and 10 cams. One cam went bad but I replaced it. Now I'm ready to go more advanced, i want ONVIF, and I need a 12 mm (or more) focal length for activity just down the street. I'm going to go with hikvision because I hear they are rock solid.
How to you find/manage/overcome fitting mount to an uneven (brick) surface, does it result in mount being uneven?
I was lucky with this one, as it sat very nicely between 3x stones. With our bell box, I chiselled the surface flat, which is probably what I will do with some of the others.
@@DIYJourney1 do you still recommend these turret style hikvision 8mp cameras after you have had them this long? Any issues or anything you wish you would like to have if you did it all over again like two way audio ect ect ect?
@@ddemier Absolutley yes, I am currently testing the ColorVu cameras but I actually still prefer these. I have since upgraded to the second generation Acusense ones and these just help false recordings.
@@DIYJourney1
1) what megapixel is the colorvu you tested?
2) does the colorvu you tested have alarm or two way audio?
3) does the colorvu night vision is it crystal clear at night?
Looking forward to see the new review of the current camera you are testing. New subscriber here just doing research on what 4k cameras to buy. Its picth black where I live and would like to have audio and an alarm with 4k
@@ddemier So colorvu in my own opinion are not as good as the 8mp and ill answer your questions below which relate as to why:
1) Colorvu are max 4mp, so not as good quality as the 8mp ones which give a crisp image, showing the detail.
2) It has a mic, I don’t believe its 2 way audio, but to be honest, I don’t see a use for it, as we rarely use it on our doorbell.
3) Its not a crystal clear image, just supports a colour image at night. However, so do the 8mp Darkfighter, but you require ambient lighting for darkfighter to work properly to give colour image. For me and what Iv always said is, a good bright floodlight matched with an 8mp cameras is best, as that gives you colour image, crisp quality of the 4k 8mp.
Thank you for subscribing, if you check out my instagram page, I also have examples of our cameras on their (@the_diy_journey).

What NVR did you go for is it the K series or the newer I series?
I on this one however nothing wrong with K’s
Hi mate,
great video, thanks!
Can I ask...will the 'Power over Ethernet affect the Wifi speeds?
Looking to install Hi-Vision but I'm wondering if this constant draw will put even more strain on the house Internet. (we stream a lot, so rely on good signal strength)
Thanks if you reply
Ive subbed and look forward to what you have planned in 2021
Im no expert but I wouldn’t think so if using a NVR as the POE is generated at the NVR as a means of power rather than replying on internet, how I understand it, it just used a ethernet cable rather than a normal power cable
It won’t, this isn’t the same Ethernet cable your internet runs on, the cable comes straight out of the NRV.
Great video. I'm hoping to install these without the need for an external IP junction box. Hard to see in the video but have you mounted them with the DS-1280ZJ-DM21 junction boxes?
Hi,
Thank you, no, I have only used a junction box on one of my cameras and that was simply to move it further off of the wall. I don’t like the look junction box so make a big enough hole for the gland to go through.
@@DIYJourney1 So you're making a large hole in the wall, and then putting the cable gland inside the wall?
For my situation yes, I have a shelf if you like for the IP gland to sit on making more room behind the camera, as our house is made from stone
@@DIYJourney1 what drill bit are you using to do this bigger whole?
Sorry, also, how far do you drill in with the bigger drill bit and can this apply to most house install situations? I guess if this has enough space for the shelf to house the gland not just to stone, that's like your property.
Great video, very helpful. Thanks : )
I have one setup and everything but I havnt got the hdmi cable inserted anymore and on my phone it says the device offline
Is DHCP enabled and a ethernet cable connected to the router?
Download and run SADP from Hikvision on a laptop or PC. If the device is connected to the network but has some sort of IP issue then this software will find it, and let you edit its IP to suit. Have you changed your router recently? That can sometimes cause issues, especially if your NVR/DVR has a static IP the new router uses a different IP range.
Hi,
I see yeux give a special angle mounting your camera. Is it OK when you see images and also with the weather ?
Hi, No special angle, it is just angled to suit the need of what I want to view.
Hi mate, does it matter on the quality of the cat5/cat6 cable being used? Or if conductors are twisted inside or not?
Hi, for reliability and removal of any crosstalk I would use twisted. I have used Cat5 throughout and found it more than capable of use. If i remember correctly copper cat5 is capable of taking 1000mb
Cat5 is fine. Twisted pair is a must; especially on longer runs. Make sure that you get stranded wire, not solid wire. The solid core conductor has a tendency to break. I went the lazy route and just bought some 50' cable with the ends already on them. It's a bit more expensive but it's a real PITA to debug wiring issues if you put your own ends on.
@@bschonec Useful info
Apparently a lot of people soon go on to wanting more and more cameras for various reasons both inside and out so it is a good idea to get a unit that accepts quite a few more than you think you need just in case.
Can I ask why 5x comments giving tips? i assume this is for others?
@@DIYJourney1 Yes
Great, thanks for the engagement 👍🏻
I would recommend running all camera to a POE switch in a central place then a cable down to nvr
Whats the reason, over just running them directly to the nvr?
@@DIYJourney1 you can install a Poe switch in a convenient location and hide the recorder.
Hi, same system as me where would the cat5 connect in the back of the DVR as mine only has coax BNC?
Hi. This is a NVR not DVR, so work over cat5/6 rather than coax
DIY Journey thanks for your reply.
DIY Journey great video , please can you tell me the exact cctv kit this is I want to buy one but there’s a few in this 7600 series , also was the cameras purchased separate or part of a kit?
If possible please can you give me a links to the one you have
Many thanks in advance
@@robzaphy the DVR is analogue camera system, whereas NVR is IP. Hikvisions Analogue system isn't bad, but IP(NVR) is a great investment for the future
did you ever do the setup video? just watched this waiting to see the quality of the recording
Hi, not yet, however please do head over to my instagram account. Plenty of images have been posted on there.

@@stephanol6254 Hi head over to newbuild_diy_journey Instagram page for image quality shots. Video will come shortly, I don't currently have the recorder connected to a 4K TV so won't give justice. I view them 4K on my phone app.
@@DIYJourney1 hello, thank for the informative video. Also I want to drill a hole through my wall but will I hit any pipe or cables? Thanks
There is a risk of that, and you have to take measures to reduce that risk, be it knowledge, cutting holes inside, detector etc
Link to where to buy? POE works for me as some cameras will be other side of house and garage , so WiFi not really workable.
Hi,
I buy mine from DVS.
Great video, I am bit shock to learn, you have used CAT5 cable. I thought, you need CAT6 or above. Pls correct me, if I am wrong!
Please don’t be shocked. Having use Cat5e for around 5 years now on these systems there has been zero issues. As the cameras are all located in different parts of the house, cross talk is not an issue and Cat5e offers enough capacity for the data, so why would I spend more money than I need to? Yes it could possibly be future-proofed, but by the time it needs future proofing will there be a new type of cable...cat7 or more
Cat5e can support upto 1 Gbps a video stream is never going to reach that even if it’s 4k.
@@shezzy97 not if used with POE it doesn't.
@@AmirKhan-qx2lr PoE works flawlessly at 1Gbps on Cat5e if you use a device that supports IEE802.3af PoE. The data is modulated on top of the DC supply.
AWSOME video very helpful but can it be done without drilling hole through wall for every camera?
It can if you use conduit and a junction box.
@@DIYJourney1Ye thanks I'm looking into junction boxes now which are also a wall mount too 😀 is conduit a must or could I use external cat 5?
Just one thing I'm not sure about if I'm sending cable direct to box do I need to use the 2nd cable to power it up or is that for when your using wireless?
@@flyitlikeyoustoleituk1226 If you have POE cameras, you only need the one cat5 cable as that will power also.
@@DIYJourney1 That's good news
BUT after watching your video endless times your running a Cat5 from camera to RJ45 connection on DVR.
Iim looking to purchase Hikvision Colorvu with Audio BUT connection on camera and DVR are different BNC connection I think. Now I'm even more confused PLZ HELP
Can you recommend a supplier to buy from? Thanks
hi, on specification state 2.8,4 and 6 mm so how can you change to 6mm if it is possible please and thank you
Buy a 6mm camera if its fixed lens you have.
@@DIYJourney1 thank you, already bought 2 like your dark fighter it says, on the specs 2.8, 4, and 6, i searched there is nothing with 6mm fixed in hikvision but i looked different security camera, so what they did is open the camera by un screw it, then it has a button i think, so you will fix it on the position you want then screw again the camera, so it is manual thing, will find out next week when the camera arrive.
thank you.
@@DIYJourney1 here is the link for it
ua-cam.com/video/L8Jt6xZOj6M/v-deo.html
so i think your camera aswell has 2.8,4 and 6mm but you have to open the camera before installation, that is why the manufacturer mentioned these verity fixed lens, so you have to do it manually.
You said your previous installation had the infra red source separate from the camera, because spiders were attracted to the infra red and not the camera. Are you aware this camera has an integrated IR light source that will attack the flying insects they feed on?
Apologies, I don’t follow. The old EXIR cameras have a seperate IR to the pens which helped prevent spider attracting the camera lens itself. Before that I had a dome which was terrible for it. The newer turret are better for it but cob webs arent great on there
Can these cameras work without plugging into Internet so if you just plug cat5 into the back of dvr and cat5 into camera will this work and does the cat5 power camera without running power lead to camera also
Thats right, although it would have to be an NVR. As long as they are POE (power over ethernet) you wont need additional power supply
@@DIYJourney1 thanks for your reply
Is hikevision the best out there ?
How much charge installation of cc tv Camera in uk
Do i need power supply 4 the camres i got new dvr and setting it up now
If they aren’t POE (power over ethernet) , which if you have a DVR instead of a NVR then yes I would say you will
@@DIYJourney1 sorry i mean i got nvr im 2 hours here trying to figure out how to take the camrea apart to fix a jucktion box onto it does it pull off
As said in the other comment, you twist the plastic cover off of the base
@@davidjones5174 No disrespect meant, but if you are struggling with this part...........??
How do u take the cover of for to fit to a jucktion box
Depending what cameras you, it twists off if they are the same as mine
@@DIYJourney1 its the same as yrs i twisted the small plastic white bit off then i need to take base off but it keeps turning it needs to go in a juction box
If I remember correctly it is a captive screw so losen it and the camera should remove from the base
where did you get the Hikvision cameras from every where in the uk is trade only
😒
Try doriscctv that’s where I got mine a while back for my home they do full kits 4,8,16 channel ect also single cameras, pretty much everything
hi like you said if i get NVR I WONT BE ABLE TO USE BNC CAMERAS BUT IF I GET A BNC DVR I BE ABLE TO USED I P CAMERAS WITH A SWITCH PO BOX OR CONNECTORS

I would just buy an NVR and IP Cameras
@@DIYJourney1 them cameras you have darkfighter theres a video on here and the 4mp hikvison better image

@@DIYJourney1 IS DARK IN MY BACK GARDEN
Will there be a big difference between Hikvision 5MP and 8MP?
There is yes. Having had both over the years, its the details you are missing with 5mp, albeit the image is still good.

Hi,
I buy from DVS, however you do require a trade account.
Other options could be CCTVTEK
Hi mate i noticed you have setup your cameras wall mounted as opposed to ceiling mounted. Does the video come out sideways or is there an option to rotate the camera 90 degrees? I also need to mount my cameras to a wall as opposed to hanging from ceiling/vertical surface.
Hi,
I do yes, if you head over to my instagram account (probably better photo), but the camera itself is (best way to explain) floating in the housing, you have pretty much free rotation with a locking screw holding it and angling as you require, so my image is exactly as required and level.
DIY Journey Awesome cheers mate! Thanks for speedy reply 👍 Love your work.
Hey man i just checked out your Instagram account. Do you have any photos looking at the actual camera at night? I was told the LED light that comes on can be quite bright even at the cameras lowest setting. I want to install a colorvu cam facing down the side of my house but im concerned the LED that activates at night will be bright and shine into my neighbours property.
Hi, These aren’t colorvu cameras. I don’t see the need in them particularly if you have outside lights anyway
Thats where I disagree with you. As said above, if you have a suitable security light the 8mp and any IR cam for that matter will switch to day mode on pir activation or the light being on giving adequate lighting. Id rather have 8mp quality, crispness and features than the lower megapixel cameras with lower quality image. Plus to be fair colorvu wouldnt work where we are but ignoring that fact, id stick with what system I have. Please view my instagram, or I can happily provide you of colour night images with these cameras or older 4,5,6 mp turret cams.
I'm gona be looking to install cctv before the dark nights come in. What sort of price is this system? I think I'll only need max 3 cameras, since I'm in a semi (2 front 1 rear) I've seen its trade only but that's not an issue, but wheres best to purchase from? Theres lots of sellers! Cheers
Hi, This system is around £800 maybe more maybe a bit less dependant on where bought from.

Hi, I have a trade account with a UK distributor. They aren’t supposed to be directly sold to the end user
would u recommend verisure arlo wireless cameras? and would u prefer wired or wireless and why?

Iv never used verisure but the marketing puts me kff

There's some advantages to concealing all or some cameras, if you conceal all cameras criminals arn't necessarily going to be covering their faces concealing their identities or looking inside for a control unit or cutting outside internet or phone cables or main electricity cables. If you conceal front ones they will have unwittingly have already been recorded before they get around the back.
I disagree, part of the aim of cameras is to deter with the visibility of them.
@@DIYJourney1 Do you not think its better to use them to reduce crime all round in the area in which you live not only benefitting everyone else as well as yourself, rather than just diverting the problem to another neighbour.
Hidden cameras would not reduce crime in my opinion. By doing that, you are allowing something to happen rather than preventing, with reliance on hope that you’ve caught the evidence to find the individual than prevent. Unfortunately I imagine and expect it to be unreasonable to make security measures for all neighbours.
@@DIYJourney1 Videos of criminals go past after robbing and burgling and mugging others can put them away so they're not available to do it to you.
Ok
Bad idea to place it near a gutter and a fall pipe, the insects will make a web all around the camera blocking out the view?
Not sure why that makes it any more prone to that issue, but after nearly 2 years of this particular installation, its not been an issue faced. Id also add that any system requires maintenance and cant just be left, if you are wanting a quality image all the time.
Beating criminals is about being crafty and ingenious useing unusual unexpected methods and technology for example a camera concealed in a plastic plant in the garden or a pinhole camera on the side of an outside dog kennel, a camera up a tree next to the house or a camera in a garden ornament or fake rock.
Do I need a nvr can I use a online cloud to save the data straight from the camera?
You can use a camera on its own if you put memory cars in. You log into the camera via your web browser to configure it.
I've just installed same system, are u supposed to get notification on phone app, when motion is detectored
You have the option for notification alerts if you want them. Through the options menu
@@DIYJourney1 is that on the app or the NVR, thanks
Its on the NVR, called ‘notify surveillance centre” I cant recall exactly where it is but if i remember correctly its when your set up motion or line crossing detection
How much did the nvr set you back buddy

I certainly can at some point, however I don’t currently have a 4k monitor directly connected at the moment and only use on my tablet/phone. If you check out my instagram account there are plenty of posts showing the quality.
You got a new Insta? Not coming up

Good video. I’d say buy from an authorised wholesaler to get full support (and better prices) rather than buying from eBay / amazon which is usually grey market stuff
Agreed, thats why I buy from an authorised retailer.
Dose the hikvision company have to be the one that activates the cameras? Because as an end user im so frustrating to do everything right and the cameras never connect unless a tech comes to my house if i new these cams are not user-friendly like nigh owls cameras i would have never paid almost 3k to have them installed its been none stop nightmare. And their are no info on the 4k NVR KIT eki-k41t44 at least im having a very hard time and the company that did it has also been a nightmare to work with so disappointed im starting to think that i will have to sell these cameras and get new once one that i can set up myself with out any problems or a company interfering i was never told thats the only way they work.
It isnt the way they work, you just need the password. If you don’t know the password, just factory reset everything.
I am DIY and have self taught and learnt the system from online videos. So very possible by anyone
@@DIYJourney1 i have done factory reset and still nothing ive even called hikvision and they tell me to call a tech the cameras and everything was working fine until i did the factory reset because the app wasn't working. So now after following many videos steps they don't connect they say no link but they do say they are online so its very frustrating specially when the company themselves dont help.
You may need to factory set the cameras too as they likely have a different/original password assigned to them. Unless you know the original password
@@DIYJourney1 ok thank you i will keep trying if not ill get new camera system sadly.
I don’t feel that is necessary
hey great video like to see how it looks at day/might time
Check out Instagram account The_diy_journey , plenty of posts on there of night time images

30 of January correction.
Hi, could you tell me Is this a hard wired cctv ? not just a plug and play. Cheers.
Hi, its plug and play and ethernet cables
Great video, shame Hikvision is trade only tho...
Depends who you speak to nicely 🙂
@@DIYJourney1 did you get it from cctvbuilder.com ?
Is this why i cant configure them myself??? Im so frustrated with these cameras 🥺
What’s the point in having 8mp cameras (4K) but the TV your using to view them looks old an definitely not 4K resolution?
Life Lesson #1 - never assume 👍🏻. Mainly the cameras are viewed on the App, which the benefit of 8mp is seen, that particular TV is fairly new but used simply for setting up on that occasion, I dont just have 1x TV in the house, the cameras can easily be viewed by our other 4K TV’s.
Ubiquiti are much cooler but they don’t support anything but their own cameras which sucks for businesses.
Poe is better no messing about
Hello
Correction: You can not connect to it wirelessly. It isn't a wireless camera. The power connection on the camera is if you want to supply separate power to it if you are not using the recorders POE feature or not using a POE switch.
Correction: Maybe you misinterpreted 👍🏻 of course they aren’t wireless, otherwise they would take batteries 🤦🏽♂️. You certainly can access them and use without a recorder.
Thanks for your reply, however wireless normally means wireless lol. Yes ofcourse you can definitely access them without a recorder but not just with the power cable. Anyways keep up the great videos.
You might want to replace those cameras as thay report back to base in china and down load the footage on the hard drive...so if you do anything in your backyard you don't want any one else to see or end up one the dark web then replace them now!!!.🤔😂😂💕🇬🇧🇺🇦
I hope they enjoy watching me wash the cars and cut the grass…ill be honest, I couldn’t care any less 🙂
I have the hikvision 2385 g1 8mp ip and they are world class...don't beed colorful because street lamps make the image color...absolutely world class images...Will not get the colorvu
Going by some of the questions on here, it would be better to leave some things to the professionals 🤣
Ok ok ok ok ok ok sayippe
hikvison not safe. do not connect the internet.
Why is that so?
