    How to watch NVR steam on an Android TV

    Tinycam pro 'might' appear in the locked down play store, if not then maybe try apk mirror BUT nowhere is 100% safe, use your own judgement is the safest tack

    Frustration 101 with weird outcome...

    OH they had been there as well, I didn't want the OP to be too long so I did not include all the other stupid bits that had been 'tried' before I was called, and as was expected the powerlines were connected to cheap cheap bloody cheap power banks, and that in itself was a major worry. But as...

    You may have to create an APP password for the access, Giggle changed the security on what they refer to as less secure access If this is the case, goto your giggle settings sorry google security and 2FA and add an app password

    How to add camera to BI that is not in the drop down list

    My ? wasn't in relation to IP etc, I have no issues with that, it was more about when using BI, will the automated selection yield better results for camera operation than if you were to select the exact make and model from the drop down list, or to put it another way, does BI better support the...

    How to add camera to BI that is not in the drop down list

    When installing cameras is it best to use the auto setup routine that looks for the onvif compatibility, or is it better to enter the actual unit details? I have 4 x Hikvision units and know the model numbers and specs Cheers

    As a side note, ALL those that used the "Permanently Activate your M$ products for free" mainly seen on youtube, that get you to run a few lines of code that connect to 'some' KMS servers... They went offline yesterday :)

    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    I've watched a few of his videos and some from the others mentioned, my feelings are that he has now identified himself as an 'influencer' and as such now believes his own rhetoric, I would imagine that he has obtained a cosy relationship with suppliers like Reolink and others, and the lure of...

    DS-7608NI-SE Not quite a brick

    Hmm Pale Moon works fine on the cameras but NOT on the NVR OK, there are a few posts on here about similar issues, mine was an issue with Windows 10 , but I do know that the IE Tab extension on chrome will allow me to see both the NVR and Cameras with full access.

    Browser for connecting to camera and view playback

    There are a few other posts on here that 'cover' similar issues, one for me was that Windows 10 had done something on an update that NOW rendered Pale Moon as not 100% I proved this with a new install and no updates and Pale Moon worked just fine, and as is with Windows, it also worked fine...

    Hi, can I just ask, what version of firmware were you on before 4.0? I am used to hikvision where you can see previous ones on the download page, but so far for me on dahua i can only see the 4.0 versions Cheers

    ismart ? Dahua nvr help if possible

    NVR systems - Dahua or Hikvision...or other?

    IMHO I found the Dahua interface to be a little retro and old fashioned The Hikvision early models was slightly better, but still ancient, the newer one only slightly better Blue Iris is a powerful PC based option, but has a steep learning curve. If you have the situation where 'others' may...

    Why does Blue Iris require administrator privileges (UAC prompt)?

    No point, i keep it in a folder called pr0n with a password of password1 so no chance they will ever guess that. :)

    Hikvision NVR not accessible in web browser

    NFI as to why they are/could be different, but in side note, I just dropped 2 of my cameras back 1 update to 'fix' the issue that they had with web browsers... Whilst on the surface this things look simple. the truth is way deeper than that, as I am learning (yeah yeah Alistair I know it's a...

    Hikvision NVR not accessible in web browser

    OK, I would suggest you install the hikvision batch configuration tool and use that to browse the nvr, I have found (c) alastairstevenson that i can see what my browsers could not see. From what you have replied, the issue appears to be with the NVR itself. not your network/modem/router/ports...

    Hikvision NVR not accessible in web browser

    OK, at what point do you get that message? I am assuming that you have opened the browser of choice Entered the IP that you have set for the NVR 192.168.0.2 This has then brought up the actual logon screen for the NVR You enter the username and password THEN you get the error message?
