    camera access with OpenVPN

    I have successfully set up an OpenVPN connection between my Asus router and iPhone. I can access my network remotely using the iPhone, but can't figure out how to remote access my cameras. I used the browser Safari, put in the NVR lan ip address, and logged in to the Hikvision NVR, but...

    Remote access using VPN

    I have successfully setup a tunnel VPN using OpenVPN. Using an iPhone and Safari as the browser, I can access my home network and bring up the Hikvision web interface for my NVR. Problem is I can't live view because it's asking for a plug-in. Where do I go from here? Am I even going about...

    router for VPN

    I found a great deal on an Asus RT-AC66U router. I realize this is older ASUS technology but is there any reason I could not use OpenVPN with this router to provide remote access to my Hikvision NVR? I have very simple needs for wireless capabilities at my house, and I'm not even sure I can...

    NVR cooling

    My Hikvision NVR is in a location where it can conveniently be ran with the cover off. Would this provide better cooling? Or is the case designed for the fan to pull/push air more efficiently? Also another possibility would be case off with a 140mm computer fan blowing across the board.

    Hikvision NVR not connecting to cameras

    I previously had 4 Hik cameras running fine connected to POE switch then to router. Also had Hik NVR connected to same LAN and it detected cameras. I decided I wanted to use the built-in POE ports on the NVR so moved cables over from switch, turned on POE power to these channels, and now I'm...

    computer connected to switch or router

    I currently have 7 cameras all with homeruns to my POE switch. The switch is then connected to the router, and my computer running Blue Iris is also connected to the router. A recent post indicated better performance could be achieved by connecting the computer directly to the switch (instead...

    Export Hikvision camera settings

    I would like to store each of my camera settings in case of future problems. I feel I'm approaching this in the right manner but have some questions. I'm using IE to access camera, configuration>system>maintenance. I assume export>device parameters is where the camera settings backup file is...

    switch day and night settings

    Using DS-2CD2032 under Blue Iris. My image settings necessary for day and night are quite different to get a good image. Under Advanced Configuration>Image I was hoping I could change my settings at different times by using the "switch day and night settings". Will this work for me? By...

    Which version IVMS-4200

    I have installed iVMS-4200 ver 2.00.11.05 that came with the 2CD2032 camera and am having difficulty setting up recording both manual and motion detection. This version appears to be dedicated to recording on remote servers. I want to have the client program and recording on the same PC. I've...

    CPU usage and processor temp with BI

    I've notice a lot of references to somewhat high CPU usage with BI. I'm assuming this is being measured with Task Manager>Performance>CPU Usage. Right? If recording direct to disc what should one expect the CPU usage to be running 5 of the 3MP Hikvision cameras in continuous record mode...
