    Viewing Issues with Using EmpireTech 4MP Cams - SOLVED!

    UPDATE! It worked! Smart Codec was turned on and cameras were set to H265. I went to H264h and turned Smart Codec off and they now pop up within 1 to 2 seconds of switching to full screen. This has been bothering me for months and I kept meaning to post here, but procrastination... looney2ns...

    Viewing Issues with Using EmpireTech 4MP Cams - SOLVED!

    No, the cameras are great. I'm sure there's some software setting somewhere that I'm missing. I'll check the codecs and see what I can find. Thank you!

    Viewing Issues with Using EmpireTech 4MP Cams - SOLVED!

    I have an issue that's been plaguing me for months. I have two of Andy's EmpireTech 4mp cameras that I have set up in my IVMS-4500 app for my iPhone and iPad. I have several Hikvision cameras that I use and have added the EmpireTech cameras as cameras in the client software. Long story short...

    Spider At Work

    Here's the combo I use for spider webs. I can reach the 2nd floor eves without any trouble. Brush Extension Pole (I purchased mine at HD) Sure beats throwing/tossing something up in the air to try and bring the webs down:rolleyes:

    HIKvision DS-7616NI-E2 for "way to cheap" price?

    I bought one of these after the initial post was made here. Shipping took about a week. I added a 3TB HDD I had in my Eyesurv NVR, formatted and began adding Hik cameras that were automatically located by the NVR on my network. All is well- setup was rather easy. Would buy again...

    7716 NVR - Setup, general questions and VPN help

    You can rename and tweak all your cameras in the iVMS-4200 Desktop Client. Once you configure the first cam, save the configuration file and then load that same file onto the other cameras (since they're all the same cams). Once the config file is loaded, change the cam's address, name etc...

    HikVision HQ Mobile Apps: Which One?

    I have a new Hik NVR on the way and decided to check out one of the apps listed on your list. Based on reviews, I downloaded Hik-Connect on my iPhone. I decided to browse through the Terms of Service before signing up for the service. I came upon a section that stated that Hikvision reserved the...

    Need help with Top-201 IP cam

    I have an Ion EyeSurv NVR. I guess I didn't pay any attention to the fact the that IVMS was a Hik app. I've tried several different apps so far and haven't had any luck connecting.

    Need help with Top-201 IP cam

    Okay- I tried in IE with the http:// prefix and I'm in! I hadn't previously added that and obviously needed to do so. I'm still unable to access the camera with IVMS-4500 on my iPhone- I get a "Failed to receive data from the device" error. Any ideas? and Thank You!

    Need help with Top-201 IP cam

    I have one of the Top-201 IP cameras and am pulling my hair out trying to get it into my viewing software. I've changed the IP address to be static on my Windows-based network. ONVIF Device Manager sees the camera and I get a live view from there. However, I cannot get it to appear in IVMS-4500...

    1080p POE Camera Recommendation

    Here's the Hikvision DS-2CD2332-I I purchased just over a year ago. It is mounted vertically on an exterior wall above my deck. There were no issues aiming it downward. After all, it's just a ball that turns in an external housing. I also have 2 that are mounted horizontally on the underside of...

    How Many Times Can You Check Your Oil

    And why are we all here? To catch bad guys in the act. Is no one else suspicious of this activity? My guess is that he's watching for someone/something. Notice how he checks out certain cars as they go by? This is not normal human behavior for someone in an emergency oil check situation...

    Please give me ideas for building a tablet "door window"

    You should be able to download the IVMS-4500 app from the App Store onto the iPad (iPad connected to the same network as the camera and connected to power) and view whichever camera you want as long as it's on the same network.

    I'm using the IVMS-4500 Lite app and am very happy with it on my iPhone 6. The reviews aren't good on the app store, but I'm having none of the issues mentioned there- works perfectly for me.
