Do you use this software yourself CRW? Would you recommend it?

NAS access on the PC is done through a browser using its IP address. There is no other NAS software installed on the PC. (I've turned the NAS off just in case this was causing the issue but still no luck). I have had this working in the past on a PC with the NAS running at the same time, so I...

Hi Tony. The PC is on the network. I do have a separate Synology NAS running. Do you think this might be causing the issue?

Hi I would like to set my Hikvision camera to record to a standard PC drive. I've followed the instructions for doing this by setting up a fileshare which I can connect to with another computer (so certian this part is set correctly) WI then open an Internet Explorer browser and type the IP...

Great....got it back Thanks for your help and advice

Thanks AS I guess the question is how do I reset it to default permissions or re-activate it if the software is saying the device doesn't exist?

Hopefully a simple fix. My camera was working fine until I had to reboot my router and rearrange all my ethernet cables. After this I could still see the image in IVMS-4200 but it was jerky, refreshing every 2-5 seconds. I went into the camera configuration menu and rebooted the camera. The...

Hi Alex I'm away for the next 10 days so will message you on my return Cheers

Hi Alex Thanks for the additional information and yes, I would like to test your audible alarm. I'm a Windows 10 user Cheers

It only worked!!!! Genius! I'd have never guessed the drive used for recording had a size limitation. I set my Disk Quota to 200Gb in the end just to be on the safe side and now it's recording files and allowing me to download them onto my PC. Just a couple of quick questions if you don't...

Thanks Alex. My drive is 4TB and is showing under Capacity as 3725Gb which is the actual size of the dive. I think I have some old 80Gb drives knocking around somewhere so I'll give one of these a bash tomorrow I'll let you know how I get on Cheers

Thanks again Alex I'm a lot closer now but having an issue when formatting the drive. The format takes place and gets to 100%. When I check the main folder there are sub folders 'datadir0 -15' and an 'info.bin' file. Everything looks OK and the drive did show 'Normal'. However if I refresh the...

Thanks Alex. Just giving this a go now. I can map a drive to my NAS using \xxxx but I don't seem to be able to map a drive to my PC. My PC has several drives including C:\ D:\ L:\ etc. How do I tell the camera to look at a particular drive? I did create a share name on the L:\drive and called...

Hi Guys Hopefully someone can help? I've set my Hikvision cameras up to detect motion and this part seems to be working. When something moves across the field of detection in the IVMS-4200 software a small bell appears in the top right corner indicating 'Motion Detection Alarm' The trouble is...

Hi guys I've had a Hikvision camera linked to my 3rd party NVR for years now and has always worked fine; https://www.hdcctv.co.uk/products/hd-ip-cctv-security-cameras-nvrs/hd-ip-nvrs-network-video-recorders-1080p-4-megapixel-poe/hd-ip-mini-8-camera-network-video-recorder-xrn0808e-2.html Today...
