Hi, I'm in a slightly different boat. I have installed all Hikvision Dome Cameras around my home and wired the cables through my walls already. I have a Hikvision NVR, but I'm so frustrated with it's complicated GUI and overall fragility. We have had blackouts due to PSPS alerts from PG&E power...

Thanks alastair, I gave that a shot. Plugged my computer into D8 and tried as you previously suggested to plug one camera in first. I plugged it into D4 and I see that the NVR is working through the monitor -- says detecting. However, on my computer plugged directly in, I only see the NVR has...

I recently was told that the configuration my installer did to the port forwarding for 80 8000 and 8554/554 was wrong and insecure, but I'm not clear on how to setup the VPN on my local NVR and if there are other requirements of the NVR and switches and router themselves. I lost access to my...

Hi, I think I'm having a similar problem. I have the HIKVISION NVR DS-7608NI-E2/8P and 6 of these Hikvision 4MP DS-2CD2142FWD-I HD WDR IP Network Dome 2.8mm Lens. I only realized now that I purchased these from an unauthorized seller so now Hikvision support won't help me. I recently had a...

Thanks, I had one more question regarding your setup - since you started using IP addresses instead of the dvrlists address, do you still do port forwarding to get connection to your system remotely? I think a need a few more posts to contact Fenderman via PM, but maybe he'll see this one. I...

Oh boy, this is the thread I've been looking for! It seems I have a nearly identical setup to Lola here. I had an installer setup 6 cameras to my NVR, which uses a subdomain of dvrlists.com as the network? I've been using that as the setup with my username and password to access via NVMS7000...

Thanks all! Appreciate the info about using a VPN vs. port forwarding. I had no idea! Regarding the initial setup, the installer manually added each of the cameras to the NVR, no QR scanning. So, I'm still getting the feed on each of the cameras to the NVR appropriately and getting all my...

Just bought a fixer, had the whole thing wired up with Cat5e and Cat6a from the start! Loving that all my APs and IpCams are where I want them. I wouldn't call myself an enthusiast, but I did wire up 6 HikVision cams (4MP DS-2CD2142FWD-I HD WDR IP Network Dome 2.8mm Len) around the perimeter of...
