    IVMS alternatives for Windows?

    Thank you for such clear instructions. Finally got around to doing this. Firmware on the cameras is 5.4.5 build 170123. This seems to be the latest firmware. The live view on the cameras on IVMS continues to reset itself back to the playback error where it says that the stream is encrypted...

    IVMS alternatives for Windows?

    It is one camera in particular that does it constantly, with three other doing it every once in a while. I'm using the DS-1608NI-E2 running v3.4.98 and all of my cameras are DS-2CD2032-I. How can I see the firmware of the cameras?

    IVMS alternatives for Windows?

    Has anyone been able to nail down why certain cameras lose the encryption key on IVMS 3.2? I have the one camera that loses the key every 20 minutes or so; it is driving me crazy.

    IVMS alternatives for Windows?

    The new version works better, but I still get these random notifications that the stream is encrypted and it will not show the video until I hit OK (encryption phrase is already populated), even if I was previously watching the stream. It is driving me crazy. Is there a fix for this?

    IVMS alternatives for Windows?

    Thanks! I've downloaded it and am testing it out. If It stops freezing, I'll be in a good place. I like the software, but it wasn't working well for me.

    IVMS alternatives for Windows?

    Are there any alternatives for Hikvision cameras/NVR that I can use to replace IVMS? I'm having a few issues with v3.1.1.13. Every time I start it up, it asks for the stream's encryption key and it also freezes randomly pretty frequently. I've caught myself looking at the timestamp to make sure...

    What is the relationship between EZViz and HikConnect?

    I have a hikvision nvr and for the longest time I used EZViz to view cameras when away from home. I then upgraded my firmware and switched to HikConnect since I thought that this would be the only way to see them remotely. Admin password was changed too and an encryption key to the streams was...

    Issues after Hikvision NVR Flash

    Actually, net view came through. They replied to my email and gave me the files I needed. It's slow, but they reply. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Issues with port forwarding

    Thanks, I have fixed that issue and it is now set to 554. Still not working. What do you recommend instead of port forwarding?

    Issues with port forwarding

    I'm having some issues using DDNS from remote computers and would like to see if I can fix it. Here's what I have so far for port forwarding on the router: These settings match what I have on the NVR. However, DDNS is not being able to forward to it. I get a "This site can't be reached"...

    Using a switch for Hikvision cameras and NVR

    I apologize again for my ridiculous omissions. I plan to run a wired connection between the Google Wifi node in the image and the main Google Wifi unit. I hope it will be less than 100m overall, so I should get good speed out of it. If I wire the NVR to the new PoE switch, I'd have to run 2...

    Using a switch for Hikvision cameras and NVR

    Here's my current setup: So, based on what you say, the best way of doing this is connecting NVR to Router and Switch to Router, right? Is there a guide on what I should do to indicate to the NVR that it should record from cameras? I'm assuming I'm going to have to go fully manual for this...

    Using a switch for Hikvision cameras and NVR

    Sorry, I left out some facts. I have the HikVision DS-7608NI-E2/8P NVR. Cameras are running straight to it as it has PoE. I figured that I'd need a switch with PoE, but I'm not sure how to run it. Your suggestion seems to be camera -> switch -> router. I was wondering if camera -> switch ->...

    Did you disable the fan in the PSU? Any issues?
