I am looking at doorbell cameras now and considering setting up a cheap tablet dedicated to the respective app to act as a dedicated door monitor. I don't think I would use my phone much and my wife is afraid of apps (don't ask). Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

I've been looking hard at that. Is there a way to setup a dedicated monitor in the house? My NVR is upstairs and not really a great location to run to everytime the doorbell rings. I'd like a monitor in the kitchen to view it from. If I could get the NVR video down there too, I would, I just...

We would like to add a video doorbell. Our requirements are that it be simple to install and operate. Must be able to use existing doorbell wiring plus WiFi. Ability to record on my NVR would be a bonus, as would a local monitor, even if it's a stand alone. Apps are great, but honestly we aren't...

Ok, with hik connect disabled the error goes away. But still no video. I'm beginning to think the computer just may not be up to the task as starting live view instantly pushes the CPU usage between 80-90%. When I select a camera and edit properties, I do see a still image of the cameras...

I'm using hik connect on my phone. Is there another way to view from my phone? Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

OK, I applied these fixes and seem to have improvement. Now it is asking for a stream key?

Is this why I can’t view my cameras? Mine were ordered from empire Andy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Someone had to have had a similar issue. If more info is needed, just let me know what to look for. Or, if there is an easier solution to viewing my cameras I'm all ears. Thanks Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

I know I'm probably light on details for a diagnosis here. I can't seem to get live view or recordings through ivms. I can see the NVR and cameras, I can edit settings, I can see live view through hik-connect app and directly off the NVR, but not through ivms. I'm trying to use ivms to have...

2Gig GC3 is a good DIY option, it is also installed by pros as I had a few local companies give me quotes and 2 of them were using this system. I'm in the process of setting one up right now and its pretty easy with good options/sensors. Still learning what all it can do, need to see if I can...

OK, so essentially what I was doing is introducing so much cross talk that I want able to get data through it? But the shorter patch cable was short enough as to not be significant (5ft), but at 35ft it's significant? Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

OK, you guys were right (you already knew that! ). Why does the camera care what color the jacket is? As long as both ends are the same I would think it would not matter. Are the different colors somehow different beyond color? Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

What did I do wrong? I'm using cat 6 solid copper cmr riser rated cable. I copied the sequence from some premade patch cables that are known to work. With my cable, the camera powers on and the nvr trios to detect it and even sees it in poe management, but it will not fully detect it, no...

It detects the camera, it just won't do anything with it Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

I sent him a message. Funny thing is I still don't know why sadp won't work. It still doesn't. Not that I need it now....until I do. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
