Thanks for the link. It is this one - but they don't ship to Canada. https://www.nfs.nz/product/2987-hikvision-spare-plug-pack-for-ds-7604ni

I have a Hikvision NVR DS-7604NI-E1/4P that the 48 volt power supply no longer works. Where is the best place to buy them in Canada? I found some POE ones on Amazon but reluctant to buy them due to possible compatibility issues. TIA Blenky

I followed this video from Jasontech. You will need Downloader for sideloading the APPS. You can get that in the Amazon APPS Store.

Long overdue update. I never did get it to work on my Alexa Show 8. But it set up flawlessly on my Firestick 4K and still running perfect. No need to figure out why I can't get it on my Alexa anymore.

yup looks like he tried the timer and no luck. I am sure it is just some simple little tweak that I need but I am not finding it. I have a Firestick 4k on order so I may just wait until I try to set that up and see if I get the same issues or it works fine. No I do not have another camera and...

tried @tunnel and nothing. Switched back to @proxy and works until it starts buffering and then the socket closes and I lose connection. I do not know what the Timeout parameter is on the Monocle Dashboard and I don't see anything for it in the help files yet.

Here is what I am getting after it starts buffering. only took 20 seconds to start buffering this time. Then the socket closes. 2021-11-16T23:28:50.527Z [INFO] [192.168.0.126:33160 <S1cnChWdY>] RTSP ENDPOINT PLAYING MEDIA STREAM: Driveway (STREAM:2be466e4-bc51-4ee3-9321-1e8802fa8556)...

I just had the driveway on again and left it on without changing anything. After about 3 or 4 minutes it started buffering and lost the connection. Now I can't get back on again.

now this is really weird. I changed the protocol to UDP and it worked for the Driveway camera. I then asked Alexa to "show front door" and no go. I then tried to go back to the Driveway and now not working. (more hair being pulled) LOL

I just noticed this in my log. Note where I bolded it. That is telling me it needs to stream the sub-stream instead of the main stream. Although I di have it working on the main stream. I will change the camera protocol to UDP and see what happens. 2021-11-16T22:53:59.347Z [INFO]...

here is a snip it of Monocle Setup.

Same thing with Basic. It is extremely frustrating when I know I had it and then lost it without changing anything. Now I am not even sure if I am back where it was when I did have it working. lol

thanks for the reply. I had originally tried @tunnel but nothing worked until I used @proxy. But now nothing again. I only had them running very temporary like for about 5 minutes than they failed. My cameras are limited to 720P so no issue with over resolution and I believe Alexa is good to...

I have an older Hikvision NVR DS-7604NI-E1/4P/A with 2 cameras model Hikvision DS-2CD2112F-I with no audio. I have the correct rtsp code that runs fine on VLC video player. rtsp:/192.168.0.2:554/streaming/channels/101 (channels/201 works as well for the other camera). I also have the Monocle...

OK I now have the browser working 100% with full real time view and playback views. I had to install an IE extension on Brave. I also have the sync working with both cameras. Hard to believe that an update can cause that many issues. Many thanks to all who helped me work thru this headache.
