    iVMS Client Problems

    Don't use local recording. If you have the client open and tell the client to record, that is local recording. That will eat up your CPU and require the client to always be running. Use the storage server. Your storage server should be in the drop down once its added to a group with the...

    iVMS Client Problems

    Sorry, been busy and I have some network issues with a new router forced upon me by my new ISP. Been trying to get my network to play nice again so I've devoted tonight to rebuilding from ground zero. This shows you were to add the Server to the group. It will be your machine IP address, port...

    Firmware Build / Device Type Question

    Hello, To many variables going on. Just got fiber and I am held hostage to using a router dumbed down to the lowest common denominator. My PC and cameras are currently off the grid because the router hates them. I've been fighting with it/restoring defaults etc. Cameras show as DS-2CD2132-I...

    iVMS Client Problems

    I think those folks are all using the PC-NVR program? which may set up a little differently.

    iVMS Client Problems

    Is it set up in a RAID? I just have a 2tb formatted exFAT. It was tricky to initially set up but it locks on and encapsulates the data and never lets go. When I was initially messing with it and setting it up, I think I had to uninstall the Server program to remap it to another drive. It needs...

    iVMS Client Problems

    Yes, I have my cameras doing all the legwork. I set up all the parameters within the camera configurations to detect motion, traverse line, intrusion, etc. There are some settings in the camera configuration that trigger the Server to record. I then have a PC running the Server software...

    Server/Client Based Software Solutions

    What kind of business do you work for? Sounds like an interesting job. If I built an i7-4790k, I wouldn't want it just sitting around recording video. I'd want to use it for everything else. That's why I like this HikVision Server set-up. I plan to build a cheap NAS type system here soon...

    iVMS Client Problems

    When you install iVMS-4200 there should be some check options for the Client and the Server. The client can do recording while it's running, but what I like is the Server will run in the background and record with minimal resources required. I have the Server running in the background all the...

    Server/Client Based Software Solutions

    Great info Razer. May definitely be worth the cost. I don't see what the point is of having a client running all the time on a 400watt, $1000 build. I want something that's not going to jack up my electric bill $30 a month and can build for $200-300. Overall, do you like the software? I used to...

    Cannot get Hikvision cameras to trigger record event on in-camera motion detect

    Good info. Thanks for posting the solution. I want to play with Milestone once I get some time.

    New install advice needed

    I doubt that you are going to be satisfied with that camera trying to get license plates at night. Identify Faces, maybe if they are up close.

    Help choosing right camera please !

    Look at HikVision's 3mp domes and bullets.

    Server/Client Based Software Solutions

    Trolling and searching hasn't really offered much to satisfy my curiosity on this topic, so I wanted to start a discussion. Most of you appear to be Blue Iris fans, but here are my thoughts. Blue Iris needs a beast of a machine to run because everything is done in Blue Iris. Everyone is...

    iVMS4200 Auto-Start after Reboot

    Thanks guys. I just got Google Fiber and once I have time to figure out how to get their "network box" port forwarding to actually work, I will check them out. My internet is blazing fast but my LAN is now a mess.

    iVMS4200 Auto-Start after Reboot

    Any idea how to have Windows 7 restart it automatically if it crashes? I missed like 3 days of recording.

    Who has their own business?

    Appreciate it. I was one of those contractors for Time Warner for several years, did electrical work, worked at a distributor, and am now third year student working on dual degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I'm kinda of a tech geek and into photography. I sold all this stuff for...

    Who has their own business?

    It would be nice to be my own boss at some point. I would love to get something going. I don't know if I could do it part time while in school and pull a profit with taxes, insurance, administrative costs, etc. Just curious how many of you have your own thing going? I'd love to hear your...

    Mobile playback slow and laggy on ivms4500 HD mobile app

    I use this app for live view but haven't figured out how to get the remote playback working. I'm guessing is would be a total resource hog in general. Are you using the HikVision server software to record somewhere? PC or NVR?

    iVMS4200 Auto-Start after Reboot

    Did you get the iVMS-4200 running on Windows 2012 server? I know know thing about Windows Server but I've been wanting to explore it. I have a free license through school. Just been waiting to build something worthy of it.

    Is A Gigabit Router needed to run 7 Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I at maximum performance?

    Re: Is A Gigabit Router needed to run 7 Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I at maximum performance Actually, the total capacity of the switch is even much higher. A low end TP-Link 24 port 10/100 switch will have a total switching capacity of 4.8Gbps. A switch with a couple gigabit links to the storage...

    What methods to secure cat cable in drop ceiling?

    Using things like that and running cables at 90 degrees will make you look professional...unfortunately, most people doing jobs that size are going to be looking to save a buck and just let it lay across the ceiling in the most direct path to camera.

    Is A Gigabit Router needed to run 7 Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I at maximum performance?

    Re: Is A Gigabit Router needed to run 7 Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I at maximum performance From my experience, theory and practice produce different results. Everything seems to play nicer when you use gigabit. If anything, a gigabit path between the switch, storage, and client will do wonders. You...

    Hello from KC

    Hello, Just came across this forum while troubleshooting a HikVision. Someone got into our car and finally pushed me into getting an outdoor camera. I worked sales at an electrical distributor for a long time, so if you have any questions regarding structured network cabling/materials - I'm...

    Types of Cat6 cable recommend for surveillance runs

    I would go with something like Superior Essex series 77. The 23awg could make all the difference in the future with POE. It's reasonable and it's a company with a reputation. A lot of these online no name type brands wouldn't pass certification if you put a Fluke DTX to it or they have false UL...

    IVMS4200 Codec?

    I've been looking for this codec too. The software manual says there is an export feature. I definitely cannot find it on the PC software.

    My PC Based System

    Was that the one I saw on NewEgg a few days ago, it was a tower case? 5U? I wish rack mount cases weren't so damn expensive. I got a rack for free along time ago and it's filling up fast with crap on sitting on shelves. I'd love to clean it up with actual rack mount equipment.

    HikVision iVMS-4200 Server and Client Recording

    It appears that "Notify Surveillance Center" must be checked under motion detection to trigger the storage server. It doesn't look like the Traverse or Intrusion detection can trigger the storage server to record at all. I can't record anything without it sending a push notification to the app...

    What methods to secure cat cable in drop ceiling?

    Look up "Erico Caddy" products. All sorts of J-hooks and low voltage hangers. They make j-hooks with batwings(drop ceiling wire clips), L-brackets, beam clamps etc. Any commercial electrical distributor should carry these. Really depends what you have to work with above ceiling and the how many...

    HikVision iVMS-4200 Server and Client Recording

    Just installed my first HikVision yesterday and have been playing with iVMS-4200. Just when I think I understand all the settings it seems to fail me. I have the client and server installed on PC. The server is formatted to a dedicated hard drive. It appeared to be recording fine without the...
