    Advise needed for viewing Hikvision NVR

    Maybe if your advise was clearer in the first place I would have resolved the problem earlier. And talk about being pompous, you get the award. Now back to ‘’likely your ip changed!’’ YEAH...... THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. I changed the NVR to a static IP last night along with making sure the...

    Advise needed for viewing Hikvision NVR

    So you say! My recipe worked once, it should still work. Ten minutes ago I viewed recordings, no longer!

    Advise needed for viewing Hikvision NVR

    I just pinged my home network without issues. I still cannot connect to my NVR (Ipad) when away using ivms-4500 LITE. My determination to restore a once working connection is being challenged to just chuck it, try something else. I have a spare....new, never used 8 port POE switch. I believe it...

    Advise needed for viewing Hikvision NVR

    Thanks for clearing that up. First thing is to get back to video. I am going to recheck both the port number that I want forwarded from my NVR and the forwarded port in the router. Things changed and I don’t know what. I had this working flawlessly until sometime last week. Back to Blue for a...

    Advise needed for viewing Hikvision NVR

    I was able to view live cameras via my Hikvision 7608NI using ivms-4500 on my Ipad until poop happened. Now I only get ‘’connection failed!’’ I can only view my cameras now via HDMI cable connected between my desk top and the NVR. Yeah......beginning to believe that you got what you pay for and...

    Problem with New Ds-7608ni-k2 Nvr and old DS-2CD2132-I ip cams

    Check your NVR! I have that same unit and there is an option......you will have to look for it... that turns off the POE. It may be set to off.

    Problem with New Ds-7608ni-k2 Nvr and old DS-2CD2132-I ip cams

    Above recommendation for SADP should be the first step. But without flashing ethernet lights on NVR, make sure your cables are good. Heck, I would try plugging the camera right into a router port, see if the port flashes. OH, to do this you need POE

    ivms-4500 & Ipad work at home, Hikvision NVR and camera

    Thanks--- I am going put some more time into this and get it right. I will post again later when I fully understand exactly what my challenge is.

    ivms-4500 & Ipad work at home, Hikvision NVR and camera

    OK.... I do not object to suggestions. Could I get some suggestions for a free or inexpensive VPN for an Ipad? I already have Milestone loaded for viewing cameras at the marina where I keep my boat. I poked around in it and I can see a conflict using or sharing that. I believe the only way a...

    ivms-4500 & Ipad work at home, Hikvision NVR and camera

    Finally have it working away from home. Now I need to consider what benefits a VPN will provide. At one time in the past I used one, forgot the name it was something similar to 'hide my ip.'' What I do remember is when I selected various off shore IP origins it became a PIA. I actually stopped...

    ivms-4500 & Ipad work at home, Hikvision NVR and camera

    No port opened, that could be my problem. I am going to open ports 80 and 8000 to verify. Beyond that after reading all the concerns posted, my next step will be to look at a VPN. I am working with only one camera to get something up and functioning before doing a complete installation on my...

    ivms-4500 & Ipad work at home, Hikvision NVR and camera

    Frustration! I am using a Hikvision DS-7608 n2/8p NVR along with a one of their PTZ IP cameras. I thought I was standing at the gate to the Holy Land when I was first able to see and control my camera with my Ipad. Now I feel I am not near any Holy Land but rather in Hikvision Hell. I have the...

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P NVR w/ POE can't detect Hikvision cameras

    Folks--- I found a situation similar to "the car will not run, so change the tires!" Weird! I tried just about everything I could think of today to get my camera functioning. Rather than suffer from the details, this came as a COMPLETE SURPRISE to me. I shut everything down and restarted. Next...

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P NVR w/ POE can't detect Hikvision cameras

    This is an old post. Still though problems do exist. I purchased a Hikvision HIDS7608NI28 along with a HIDS2DE3304W camera. First setup the camera was found by the NVR and after a couple of minutes it quit. No longer could I read the camera’s data on the SADP tool and of course the NVR was...
