    BI Rookie Question

    Still doesn't seem to work. Do I change the first drop down from http:// to rstp? I've tried both to no avail. I either get feed not available or still that first camera. . . . frustrating.

    BI Rookie Question

    Sure. first pic is the first screen. I click Add Camera I then do the same thing but chance "Camera" to 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on. But it always just adds the very first camera in my NVR. I have hikvision cameras and hikvision NVR. I've tried on my 9000 series and my 7000 series. If you need exact...

    Locked down viewing options

    Nicholas, How are you recommending running BI? On what type of device? What I usually do is just use an old laptop to run straight to the monitor via HDMI and put only iVMS on the laptop locked down to a local user that can only view the cameras I want. This is pretty good but in this situation...

    BI Rookie Question

    Thanks for the information! Where would I enter the nvr IP address? When I type it in, only the first camera pops up and no others are available.

    BI Rookie Question

    Is there a way to add an NVR to BI instead of manually putting in each camera? My NVR has two lan ports it's using. One is for the NVR and the other is on the Camera Vlan. I want to connect to the NVR rather than change my IP to the camera vlan.

    Suggestion for a remote multi-site system

    opening ports to "every camera" or opening ports to each NVR? I think possibly your best bet is to use Blue Iris to view live feeds as you can add multiple locations. Playback might be another issue you run into. also you may want to check into ZoneMinder - Home (not compatible with any...

    Suggestion for a remote multi-site system

    That's going to be extremely tough to accomplish. I'm assuming these are all sites that aren't connected via vpn tunnels? I have 15 locations that I can view all on my desktop at one location within different web interfaces but all sites are connected via vpn tunnels and each system is on it's...

    Thanks for that usaf_pride. I will test this on a r-pi this weekend to see how it works out. I am open to other recommendations too if anyone has any.

    Locked down viewing options

    We used to use analog in one of our offices to view the front and back doors of a building. We have since switched to all IP and would like to continue to do so. The options we have for this monitor would be, a PC stick running iVMS, a laptop with HDMI cable ran through conduit to the TV from...

    Naming Cams

    I'm taking over our camera system integration at our locations. I have 3 different locations to install 20+ cameras at in the near future. I worked on a install that had over 100 cameras recently but I came in at the tail end. My question is... what's the best approach in camera naming? We use...

    Viewing only 1 or 2 cameras

    Thanks. I will test this tonight on my Fire TV Stick. Would I be able to lock down the application though? End users tend to have bad tendencies when access is not limited.

    Viewing only 1 or 2 cameras

    I have an office that needs to only view 1 or 2 live feeds. We have about 120 cameras total but for this particular office, they need to see limited. With that said, before we had analog cams and just ran them to a box behind the monitor that's mounted in the office. What's a cheap efficient...

    Camera Configs HikVision

    I'm installing 25 cameras (with potential for more in the future) at a location that is currently running 10/100mbps networking equipment. I am using Ubiquiti POE switches and a 64CH HIkvision NVR. All of the cameras are 4MP except one that is 8MP. To lower the bandwidth while not...

    hard disk mounting handle

    Contacted CDW, no go. Looked on e-bay also a no go. It's kind of weird that these parts seems unattainable. I've looked up the part number that's listed on the piece of plastic itself and tried all kinds of different searches...

    hard disk mounting handle

    Does anyone know where I can get more of the tool-less caddies for hikvision 9600 series NVR? The NVR only came with enough for 4 drives. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/772583/Hikvision-Ds-9600-Series.html?page=2#manual they can be seen here.

    Big difference?

    @StewartM Seen here? I think they are $150 from the vendor we usually use, wonder why the price difference is pretty big. Amazon.com : Hikvision 4MP Bullet Camera DS-2CD2045FWD-I 4mm IR Mini Indoor Outdoor Network Camera ONVIF H.264 English Version Support Upgrade : Camera & Photo

    Commercial install

    Standard doorway, buildings are for the most part brick or metal siding warehouses. Will need to be able to identify people in the video not just see someone walking in. Most of the doorways are sheltered from outside elements other than cold and decent lighting at all locations.

    Commercial install

    What HikVision camera do you guys prefer for outside access doors? Also, who's the go-to supplier in the USA? My vendor is a ripoff and after ordering nearly 1000 cameras, still doesn't get back in a timely manner..
