thanks for clueing me in. I guess i was confused by the word “recordings”. In any case i dont think i hurt any thing, or did I?

h Thank you for the hint. I feel im close but not quite there yet. I believe on a mac its called “file sharing”. I turned on file sharing and selected the jump drive. I chose to share using smb protocols. It gave me an ip address and file path, though the does not include the name of jump...

Thank you for your insight.

Well that explains a lot! Thank you for that! And presents a 3 way dilemma, use junk with crappy image, sit with it for weeks trying to figuring it out, or hiring a pro to set it up for me. The 3rd option has not panned out because i could not find a pro who knows both hikvision, and macs. In a...

I had read online somewhere (a dubious source for sure) to record an ip camera to a computers internal drive, the drive had to have a partition dedicated to the camera or a dedicated external drive dedicated to the camera. I choose the latter solution by adding a usb thumb drive to usb port on...

I have 3 hikvision ip cameras which seem to require a masters degree in computer science to configure. Im not using a dvr or nvr. Is there a brand or line of cameras out there that are simpler and more user friendly? Thanks in advance!

accidentally purchased hikvision ip camera WITHOUT SD slot. My other two cameras have one, and i dont have a nvr or dvr, and would rather not buy one. It seems like i should be able to record directly to my macs HD Via the web browser interface. I read somwhere that it needs a dedicated...

Not a waste of time. Sorry it took me 24 hours to respond, but I had not got a response for weeks, I thought everybody gave up on me. My IP is spectrum. I’m am guilty of not responding to your previous suggestion Jan 17, because I wanted to do it thoroughly and thoughtfully, but I’ve become...

Yes the status indicator goes on and off as I turn VPN on and off on the phone. So we know its not that. Thank you! Rick

OK so i got a IP address return from Nsllokup. It matches the address listed on the routers home page ... Internet Status : CONNECTED WAN IP: (matching ip address) DDNS: SimonesHorseCam.asus.comm.com

Yes you are correct, that is the case. WIFI on.

I can access all three cameras from both macs. All three cameras have a static address ( i think) ... how do I confirm this>

With NoloC help, we confirmed that i have no ports forwarded. Is it possible there is an on-off switch somewhere that could be on? Assuming "no" or it does not matter as long as nothing is forwarded... Then my VPN is NOT WORKING because I can't get to the log-in page of any of the 3 cameras...

Dang! I Wish you were right but I have WIFI OFF

How do I do that?

Sorry for the delay...Ive been down with the flu In fact I do see "connected" indication on the router OpenVPN status field. There is also 3 separate VPN indicators on the iphone, so that seems positive. So my question is, if the VPN is working it should deliver me to my home network. How do I...

What are you using for your openVPN server ? ASUS Router RT-AC8600U. Is it an application on a router ? Yes. Who is your internet service provider ? Spectrum Cable. What is ISP modem/router make and model number ? There are two. The first is an Arris Telephony Modem TM502G. I guess it separates...

Asus RT-AC8600U

Sorry guys, I've been down with the flu for a couple of days and not as responsive on this forum as I would liked to have been. It seems that the diagram I created was confusing so please allow me to clarify... Both macs can see all three cameras, via IP address into the browser. The "not...

Thank you all for the feedback as I've been down with the flu for a couple of days. I detect a definite trend in the responses . Buy a PC with windows and create a dedicated system. Hummmm I'll need to sleep on that as I've used exclusively macs since 1984. Never hardly touched a PC. The...

Most of this is on the diagram above but I will respond tomorrow a.m. more completely . I'm fading now and need to hit the sack. Rick

Happy to! Sorry it so long to construct. RickS Network by Rick Simonton posted Jan 17, 2019 at 10:01 PM

A work in progress

Please understand I'm mac based and there is no Blue Iris for mac. It appears that the best mac alternative is SecuritySpy. Do you (or anyone else) have an opinion on SecuritySpy?

I'm using OpenVPN Connect, and i can't find "Send all traffic" either on the client app or in the iPhone settings section. Where do I find it?

For my application I think simpler is better. Feature rich VMS sounds complicated and confusing to me. Plus I still need something to record to. BUT ... I'm going to do some more research on NVRs. However... having a big NAS on RAID 1 appeals to me because it can double as a backup target. I...

It seems my cameras defaults are to record to the microSD card. They were not installed at that time.

Back in the day I was a video editor, I used the seven dwarfs for our raid naming convention...sleepy, sneezy, grumpy etc

VMS? Can you throw a brand and model at me?

Yes iPhone 6 plus ios 11.2.6 Can we start even simpler? The answer is NO but i don't think i'm entering the device data correctly to iVMS4500. I need to confirm the correct way to do this. Tomorrow I will focus on that. In the mean time i can tell you I can access the login pages (using IP...
