Hi all, I am using a hikvision 3MP camera system which are connected to an NVR. No PoE or injectors as far as I know. The cameras are listed as "HT-TVI (2MP) Eyeball camera w/fixed lens and 24 IR LED. TVI, 1/2.8"MP sensor, 3.6mm fixed, True Day and Night (ICR), DNR, UTC, dual output (HD-TVI...

I have an IP cam hikvision security system at work which is NVR based. I am now thinking of hooking up another office and also my home with security camera systems. The problem is that I've hated the IP cam experience. I use IVMS to access the cameras from my android and home computer. The...

Trying to set up my cameras on ivms 4200 and running into the following problem. I can see my cameras on the "Maintenance and Management" tab. In fact, when I click on the edit icon I can even see a thumbnail of my camera. The first image is that of the tab, and the second is of the camera...

I have 4 IP cameras at my office and I can access them easily on my office computer and even on my smart phone when I am at the office (using the office Wifi). However, I cannot access the cameras when I am not at the office (using ivms). I know that this must be some kind of router setting or...

I am quite frustrated by my inability to access my office cameras when I am out of the office ie: on my smartphone. When I am in the office I am able to bring up the cameras on either IVMS or on a browser. In fact, if I am in the office I can put my phone on wifi and can bring up the cameras...

I have a hikvision system and have no problem finding my internal IP address. I can easily see my cameras from within my office by typing the internal IP address in my browser. However, when I am away from the office I can't figure out how to access those cameras from an outside computer or...

Is there a reason why the official hicvision website (hicvision.com) is so poor? I have tried for days to download the ivms software from there and it rarely works. The website reminds me of websites circa 1990 with slow connection speeds, network timeouts etc. Half of the time it never...

This may sound confusing but in the past I was able to see my cameras using the ivms-4200 client that I have installed on my win7 computer. Recently we changed the router in my office and I am now noticing that I can no longer access the cameras. However, if I type in the camera IP address...

The technician set up my TVI system with a DVR that had an internal and external IP address. When I'm on premises I can access the system with the internal IP address. Initially, I had no problem accessing the system remotely with the external IP address but this seems to have changed. I can...

I had a TVI system installed a few weeks ago. Until now I was viewing the camera feeds either through a web page or through the IVMS 4200 remote client. For some reason, neither of these modalities is now seeing any of my cameras. When I try going to the web address of the DVR I get a message...

I'm not sure why this is happening but I set up my DVR for motion detection (after office hours) and am seeing hundreds of alarms throughout the night and weekends. When I go to the log and select "Alarm" under Major Type and "Start Motion Detection" under Minor type I can see that the motion...

I have accessed my cameras both through the IVMS 4200 and the webpage client (ie:simply typing the dvr's IP address into the browser address bar). I'm not sure I see the advantage to using the IVMS-4200 program. Actually the web view seems somewhat more stable. The only advantage I could find...

IVMS seems a bit clunky (both the web and the client versions). Is there better software to manage a DVR system? I don't mind if there is a fee involved.

I'm trying to understand how to set up the mainstream vs. substream parameters on my DVR. Also, I'm trying to understand whether or not substream is only for remote viewing of a "Live View" or if it can also be used for remote viewing of "Playback"?? I have 2MP TVI cameras and have set the...

I'm not really understanding how to do presets on my Hikvision DVR (TVST STI708) such that whenever I go to "Live View" I can see the same 4 cameras that I'm interested in. Currently, I need to highlight the boxes on the main screen and then allocate each one to one of the 4 cameras on the left...

I just had a 4 camera TVI systems installed in one of my offices. The equipment is Hikvision (8 channel DVR, 2T and an audio feed). The images from the cameras are very clear but the video is so choppy as to be unwatcheable. The upload bandwidth at the office is very poor (under 1MB) so I can...

I was wondering how reliable the audio is when reviewing video on Hikvision DVR's? I noticed when I was considering TVI systems that several installers included the possibility of including audio on ONE of the camera channels. If you wanted a second audio channel it would require a different...

Hi everyone, I have been looking at 4 camera systems for my optical shop. Cost is no object ie: I am willing to pay for the very best and reliable equipment. The ceiling is a standard office-type drop ceiling with tiles (probably very easy to cable). I intend to be there for about 5 more...
