    Adding cameras to Smart PSS and NVR

    OK Thanks I'm just playing with that link to web button and at first it wasn't working and gave message "cannot map ports" but now it seems to be working OK and shows this in the browser http://127.0.0.1:43679/?rtspport=43683&tcpport=43675 for the NVR and http://127.0.0.1:43667/ for a camera

    Adding cameras to Smart PSS and NVR

    I have my cameras listed in SmartPSS and when i click the "link to web" on a camera it takes me to a browser login screen like this and I can use a VPN like Proton VPN when I'm connecting -Is this the method you would use ?

    Adding cameras to Smart PSS and NVR

    I don't think that's possible with this 4g router and my only option from what I can see is using P2P

    Adding cameras to Smart PSS and NVR

    Would that mean port forwarding etc because this 4g LTE stuff is problematic at the conventional level

    Adding cameras to Smart PSS and NVR

    Just trying to get my head around it all so when I install the system in it's new home which is many miles away I can connect and configure it remotely. I have two NVR's one of which is an Imou brand without POE probably go with this and use a Netgear POE switch for the cameras. The Zyxel...

    Hikvision email set up v Dahua

    I'll give the Gmail another go . I did manage to get a real IP on the router and can log into it on port 80 and also managed to get port 8081 to work on a camera but there's something not right with it so I'll just use the hik connect for remote

    Hikvision email set up v Dahua

    After the Hikvision purge I did get Gmail working but I think they stopped the less secure device option I also tried to get port forwarding to work on my new 4g LTE router with out much luck as I think they only allow certain ports even DMZ didn't work so I'll just keep my old Hikvision on my...

    Hikvision camera admin password reset tool

    I watched a few videos on Youtube about resetting NVR's to default . If they don't have a reset button on the board there is a pair of connections one is square and the other is round with 3volts and they just connect them for a few seconds

    IMOU CRUISER SE - is this dahua cam compatible with Blue Iris?

    I have a Cruiser 2 and managed to connect it to a Imou NVR and a Dahua NVR which are pretty much the same thing but connecting to a Hikvision NVR no way could I ge it to work on that. From what I can figure those cameras are restricted in features to make you buy cloud storage. Smart PSS works...

    Email not working

    I need to take one of the HIK cameras off the NVR and try it direct with Gmail in case the NVR is causing problems maybe there is some port settings that need a change. I think my hosting company have screwed things up as they were taken over recently and everything worked fine before. This...

    Email not working

    Just bought a cheap Tenvis IP camera and tested the email sending with a Gmail account and it works fine once I turned off the "less secure apps" settings in Gmail account. Put the exact same settings in the HIK camera and it won't connect to the test server so this is a HIK issue. I tried the...

    Email not working

    It's the email sever on my website which is an SMTP server I believe. Thunderbird email client connects just fine which is doing pretty much the same thing as a camera
