    Anyone use the Roku IP Cam Viewer to see live view on their TV ?

    Thanks for all the replies, they are appreciated ! I'm not sure I'd want to change the substream to mjpeg from the current setting as I guess it might reduce the video quality on the other viewers we're already using. One thing I plan on trying later when no one is watching tv is to see if an...

    Anyone use the Roku IP Cam Viewer to see live view on their TV ?

    Thanks for the reply ! Well, the Roku IP Camera Viewer would only be very occasionally used as a secondary viewer since we have a big screen TV and it would be neat to see the view that large, so it's not a big deal, but would be neat since we already have a Roku. We normally view our live...

    Anyone use the Roku IP Cam Viewer to see live view on their TV ?

    Thanks for the reply, figuring out the right stuff to put in the set up fields has been a challenge so far but if I can get it working I'll see about posting what I did here on this thread. It may not be real soon as I have other things I'm working on too, but hopefully within a week, IF I get...

    Anyone use the Roku IP Cam Viewer to see live view on their TV ?

    If so, I have a couple questions if anyone can help. First is it safe to use the Roku IP Cam Viewer ? I ask this because I read elsewhere of possible concerns of being hacked, but did not yet get any update if it is a genuine concern and if so if it is an ongoing concern or is there a...

    Live view not available on iVMS-4200

    I tried the download from that link but it could not find anything to "hide". So I did more research and found this web page that says you can stop windows from updating drivers using "ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate" so hopefully IF windows forces an update to the latest version of windows 10...

    Thanks, I'll check that out, looks similar to what someone just shared on the Microsoft forum - How to Block a Windows 10 Feature Update and Why You Might Need To

    Live view not available on iVMS-4200

    Seems I have another problem I thought I had fixed by now, the "windows update" keeps forcing the download and install of the latest version of windows, so far everything I tried to stop it doesn't seem to work, every time I use the "recovery" to go back to my previous version of windows within...

    Live view not available on iVMS-4200

    I was doing more research and it seems that there is not a version of iVMS-4500 made for windows pc, but you have to use an emulator to get the mobile version to work on a pc. I've been busy today so I haven't yet tried an earlier version of iVMS-4200 but likely tomorrow, I'll see about posting...

    Live view not available on iVMS-4200

    Okay, thanks, that is an idea, an earlier version of iVMS-4200 might be the solution. Perhaps the latest version works on my laptop since it has the latest version of windows 10, but the other laptop connected to the router is an older computer that I have to use an earlier version of windows...

    Live view not available on iVMS-4200

    I read elsewhere where one person had success by uninstalling and reinstalling iVMS-4200, so I tried that and made "some" progress. Now at least my camera shows up in the list on the "Main View" page, and when you hover the cursor over the button (see pic below) it says "stop live view" but the...

    Live view not available on iVMS-4200

    Thanks, I did install wincap when it asked, I still need to research how and try that "full admin" rights (not sure if I had that or not on the Ethernet computer). What puzzles me is that version works on this computer I'm typing on now, but that same version is not working on the other computer.

    Live view not available on iVMS-4200

    Just checked, versions are identical. Version 2.6.2.7 build 20170826 Is the wincap something we should use or say no to ? I'll have to research how to do full admin rights so I can try that.

    Live view not available on iVMS-4200

    Okay this is VERY puzzling, last week I was able to successfully set up iVMS-4200 on my laptop, I can still see the live view on it, have access to set up motion detection, ect. - but - today I downloaded iVMS-4200 on my other laptop computer I have hardwired to the router by Ethernet cable...

    What is the ideal bitrate / frame rate for DS-2CD2342WD-I 4MM ?

    Thanks ! Got the camera installed outside today, the much brighter daylight (as opposed to sitting in a not too bright room) seems to have made a little difference, still some lag, but not as bad as indoors. It's like when I wave my hand it takes about 1/2 second to see it start moving in my...

    Best settings for a more fluid live view ?

    Thanks, okay, understood, also called lag ? And I guess a slight amount of lag is normal ? Got the camera installed outside today, the much brighter daylight (as opposed to sitting in a not too bright room) seems to have made a little difference, still some lag, but not as bad as indoors...

    Best settings for a more fluid live view ?

    Okay so live view it's normal for things to look like they are moving in slow motion. Video clips I have seen show normal like fluid movement but I guess that might be the difference between a live view and a recorded view ?

    Best settings for a more fluid live view ?

    When I view a live feed on my phone from my ip camera and move my hand in front of the camera there is about a one second delay before I see the movement and it moves somewhat haltingly. Here is a screenshot of my camera settings as it was as I had not changed anything it is the default...

    What is the ideal bitrate / frame rate for DS-2CD2342WD-I 4MM ?

    From what I understand a recorded view is different from the live view and I have not recorded any clips yet. I'm mostly concerned about the live view having a slight delay like if I move my hand in front of the camera it takes about a second for the movement to show up on the live view and...

    What is the ideal bitrate / frame rate for DS-2CD2342WD-I 4MM ?

    Okay, been busy today, was trying to see how I was going to physically mount my camera outside, having a manufactured house the bolts won't do so I had to go to the hardware to get butterfly bolts, by that time it was time for supper so I'll finish installing the camera outside tomorrow. I did...

    What is the ideal bitrate / frame rate for DS-2CD2342WD-I 4MM ?

    It may have been both wifi and data I checked. Anyhow I use iVMS-4500 on my windows phone which is made for using with my camera. Our internet speed is 2mb upload. I'll see about trying the phone speedtest both with vpn on and off, but tomorrow, it's about 10:30pm here now, I'm just getting...

    What is the ideal bitrate / frame rate for DS-2CD2342WD-I 4MM ?

    Okay, thanks ! I have a computer hardwired in the room where the server is at, tomorrow I can see what difference there is between the wired and wifi views, and also adjust frame rates to see if that helps, if 10fps will be choppy, wouldn't it be better to do 15 or 20fps ?

    What is the ideal bitrate / frame rate for DS-2CD2342WD-I 4MM ?

    Thanks for the reply ! Let me ask you what I asked the other replier - I have read about people adjusting either the bitrate or frame rate to counter choppiness on a live feed, wouldn't that help at all ?

    Thanks for the reply ! I have the camera hardwired into the router, when at home I can view the live feed over the LAN WIFI, when we are away from home we remote view thru our windows phones on our data connection, in order to remote view securely we go thru a laptop hardwired to the router...

    Okay, finally got my camera set up as far as being able to see live view both over my LAN WIFI as well as a remote view thru our window phones data connection. Now before I install my camera outside I wanted to see how I can improve the live feed. I notice that when I move my hand in front of...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    It is an old laptop, wouldn't that be better than if it was a desktop computer ? Once I had it set up I could also blank out the display screen to lessen power consumption.
