    Help needed setting up HikVision DS-7608NI-E2/8P

    I'm sure theres a good reason, lol But one step at a time, ignore the web interface for a while (put it back to the default 80) 8000 is the only port that the IVMS4500 app needs. The trouble with teckie sh*t is that it can get in ones eyes :cool:

    Help needed setting up HikVision DS-7608NI-E2/8P

    Hi.. Your making it overcomplicated, lol You can start changing / messing about with ports, but get it going with the defaults first. If you want to use the app on your mobile device, then the only thing that needs forwarding on your router is port 8000 to your NVR ip address Then setup your...

    Hikvision NVR with POE ports - bridge to LAN interface?

    Hi guys, 3.2.1 has virtual host or you can loose one of the poe ports..... But if your using a cheap switch then then it's only the poe function that's lost on that single poe input port.,.... Listen to Alastair we both have been there and got the battle scars and tee shirts

    Hikvision NVR new firmware 3.2.1

    Nothing ... the nvr was already working ok on 3.0.10 so it was just a simple case of upgrading the new firmware. Few things to check.. First is Open Port Check Tool This will confirm your external ip address and allow you to check if 8000 is open. Next is to make sure that in your router...

    Hikvision NVR new firmware 3.2.1

    Forward the 8000 port (or what ever it is if you have changed it) on your router, and all will / should be ok :cool: P.S if you are using a ddns service, then of course you will have to enter the correct details in the app, or if you don't have a ddns service then find your external ip address...

    I wonder if they paid for this

    Heres a piccy of something I came across and submitted many years ago and wondered if they got paid .... it could of been an installation by the same person who is now an expert on cctv. Loving the coincidental drip loop.

    Hikvision NVR new firmware 3.2.1

    No... 3.2.1 does look prettier and has extra support for 'smart' cams .. but if your collection of cameras is not of the smart kind then there seems to be not a lot of point.

    IP Camera NVR recording resolutions question?

    There are many factors that have to be taken into account that can cause the nvr to sulk, the main one is the combined bandwidth of the cameras and how much the nvr can cope with So the answer could be 1080p .. it could be a mix of 3M and 1080p, or even lower than 1080p plus some important cams...
