Thanks for your input, Shalem2014. At least I understand the basis of the problem. The previous camera guys who charged me $200 or more per visit made it seem as if it was very complicated. It took them about 5 minutes each time but they claimed "travel time". The other day I asked them if...

Hi, I just wanted to "pay it forward" by describing how this problem was fixed (for future newbies who run across this). When my internet went down at work Spectrum had me reboot the system. What I didn't realize at the time was that when they did this, they moved my modem out of "bridge...

I would take this deal. Please contact me.

Sorry. Did not mean to be rude. I am not here to learn how to do it. My question was if it was more troublesome to maintain. If i need to be calling in help 6 times a year then I would rather not have cameras.

So, not to be argumentative, but all of those surveillance systems that I see in restaurants, shops etc are they all using VPN type solutions to keep themselves safe from hacking? Most of those guys look like they're purchased a system from Costco and are using port forwarding. Also, seems...

When people refer to "risk" regarding security cameras and port forwarding, is the risk that people can see what's on your cameras? Or is the risk that somehow you're giving them access to your entire computer system? Because if the risk is seeing my camera feed (empty hallways), then I don't...

I have a VPN express subscription and I have it on all my computers. Can this be used in my configuration?

It's the re-configuring of the router that confuses me. I set up a port forwarding and selected port 8000. The reason why I used that port is because when I am in the office I can see the cameras on my desktop IVMS. I went to the settings and noted that it was port 8000. In my android I also...

Hi all, I am using a hikvision 3MP camera system which are connected to an NVR. No PoE or injectors as far as I know. The cameras are listed as "HT-TVI (2MP) Eyeball camera w/fixed lens and 24 IR LED. TVI, 1/2.8"MP sensor, 3.6mm fixed, True Day and Night (ICR), DNR, UTC, dual output (HD-TVI...

Apparently there are some people on this site that think that we have nothing better to do than spend hours of our time learning our camera systems. I am unwilling to spend even one hour doing it. I have hired professional companies that took money and then weren't available for basic...

Honestly, I'm finding your comments to be unhelpful. I am not in your business; therefore, I don't know these arcane terms you are using. I did what everybody else does in situations such as these ie: Yelp, Angie's list etc. I was not saving money and, in fact, it was quite expensive. Every...

Of course, I will hire a professional I did the first time also. The problem is that professionals will install the system and are then nowhere to be found afterwards. Throughout the years I ran into problems with my system and had a very hard time troubleshooting problems that came up. My...

I have an IP cam hikvision security system at work which is NVR based. I am now thinking of hooking up another office and also my home with security camera systems. The problem is that I've hated the IP cam experience. I use IVMS to access the cameras from my android and home computer. The...

The cameras are hikvision 3MP and are connected to an NVR. I don't know about PoE or injectors (I'm a consumer not a professional). However, after failing to find the solution on this forum I hired some local IT and camera people to solve the problem. After spending about $300 on the issue...

I am now running ivms 4200 client v2.8.2.2. Initially I was running a newer version (v3.0 I think) but I uninstalled it and tried this earlier version instead. Neither one worked for me. My PC at home is win 7 professional sp1.
