Hi Corey,
As always thank you.....Have done as you suggested and able to see camera from outside my network on both iPhone and iPad.
But of course I have a couple more ...probably stupid....questions.
When I did the port forwarding (Linksys EA2700) I had to remove a port forward for my older Qsee system, because it requires to have it's IP to have a port forward of 80 also. The only way I could get the Hik cam port forward 80 on it's IP address to take, was to remover the QSee IP port 80.
Is there a way, using 4500, to slaps see the camera from my internal network without having to set all the parameters again (IP address, etc.)? I have looked everywhere within the 4500 app and have not figured a way to add the device with the parameters I was using on my inside network...must be missing something basic here.
Finally I noticed that when the Hikision screen come up on my Windows PC, I put in the username of admin, and the one password that seems to work as a result setting up once I had the correct Encrup Key from China.
If I'd like to have folks be abe to see the camera, is there a way to do so where they don't have to have that password, and if not, what is the best and safest way to change it?
Also, I have done all this using my Windows PC up till now. I noticed if I go to my MacBook on my local network, I cannot use Safari and simply type in 192.168.1.64 (like I do with IE on the Windows PC), but if I type in the exact address, (
http://192.168.1.64/doc/page/login.asp?_xxxxxxxxxx, I am taken to that Hikvision screen where I need to insert username and password and can get to camera. I imagine if there is a simple address to give to folks to get to camera, I cuold do same on the MAcBook?
Sorry again for all the "newbie" questions....and thank you again.
Finally, locally when I bring up the camera with 4500 on my iPad, the images is not that clear, where it is crystal clear on the PC and Mac....what might I be doing wrong here?
Thanks agin for all your guidance.
