    Hik-Connect App vs. iVms 4500

    I think this hacking/reset thing has now been addressed. Make sure you have the latest firmware and you will be fine.

    Hik-Connect App vs. iVms 4500

    Exactly. I quoted a million but it was a guess/rough estimate.

    Hik-Connect App vs. iVms 4500

    No ports need to be opened. It all goes through Hik Connect so I guess your network is fine. I trust them. All my cameras are external so I am not concerned.

    Hik-Connect App vs. iVms 4500

    No none. Not sure but I think most security concerns are with opening ports on a router and not with mobile devices. There must be a million + users using Hik apps.

    4k camera max view at one time

    I normally use port forwarding for iVMS-4500 but for this install I’ve used Hik Connect & iVMS-4500. Maybe the Hik Connect is the problem o_O

    4k camera max view at one time

    Yeah live view is fine using sub stream. Struggles a bit using main stream. Playback is also main stream and struggling so i'm thinking the internet connection cannot handle the amount of data. So reducing the frame rate might help. Also maybe reduce from 3mp to 2mp as there really appears...

    4k camera max view at one time

    Ok interesting stuff. I installed a 3mp Hik Turbo system yesterday. Playback is so slow and not in real-time. Live view is fine on sub stream. I’m thinking it’s is because the bitcrate was left as fixed and not variable. So many different options.

    Hik-Connect App vs. iVms 4500

    Both apps work without a vpn or port forwarding. Just register a Hik connect account, add a device to your account and you’re good to go. Personally I hate the Hik connect app but like the iVMS-4500. Maybe because it is what I’m used too. One reason is that I find with connect I have to select...

    4k camera max view at one time

    Rather than use 4200 have you tried connecting to the Nvr browser? Also maybe reduce the frame rate to 10fps.

    Peeps must be too embarrassed to admit to using HiWatch. Lol only pros on here ;-)

    4k camera max view at one time

    Ivms being used in the mobile network? If so you need to drop the resolution big time and reduce the frame rate. For ivms 4500 on the 4G network I use a sub stream resolution of 704 x 506 @ 6fps for casual viewing. If I need to switch to main stream I make sure I am on Wi-fi.

    Is Hikvision DS 2CD2155FWD an EXIR Camera?

    Are you still pleased with your purchase sfnetwork? I am thinking of buying this camera as i cannot find the 8mp with a 4mm lens. Also i need a ant-vandal camera as it will be only installed at 2 meters high so not ideal for a turret.

    Switch off IR in Hikvision camera's

    Sorry I forgot to post a link. It is very easy to do. Basically it allows you to log into the cameras in the same way you log into the nvr. And access a few more menus. SADP not showing cameras

    Switch off IR in Hikvision camera's

    You enabled virtual host m8? Then log into the camera direct and the option should be there to disable IR leds.

    HIKVISION 8MP Bullet DS-2CD2085FWD-I vs HIKVISION 5MP Turret DS-2CD2355FWD-I

    From what I’ve read the 8Mp turret is superior to the 5Mp. I’ve believe the 8Mp is ultra low light. Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co. Ltd.

    It's ok Bokeh has explained fully. I struggled to understand but with a little guidance I now do understand. Not sure why you've called me an asshole. Thank you for putting me on the right track on your forum. The reason for the original question is that I thought that a 3Mp image was larger...
