Hikvision Camera Recording

Hey all,

Hope you can help. My uncle asked my to set up 2 cameras for him so I mounted 2 Hikvision cameras. He does not have Blue Iris and just wanted to view clips here and there to see what is going on in his driveway and outside of his shop. I set him up with micro SD cards to capture the recordings and he views the recordings by accessing the camera's webserver and clicking on the Playback tab. I have it set up to record motion only. When he clicks on Playback and chooses a day to view, he sees the motion trigger marks on the timeline. If he puts the cursor at a motion trigger mark and hits play, he sees the timeline moving, but it just jumps past the trigger mark and doesn't play the video. If he allows it to continue to play, it will go from trigger mark to trigger mark, but just jump over them and not play the triggered video. So for now, I have continuous recording on. This works and if he sees a motion trigger mark, he just moves the cursor to the spot and he can play the video.

Do I have the settings wrong? I don't understand why he cannot view the triggered video if I have the settings set to motion only. We can deal with the continuous recording, but we'd like to conserve space on the SD card. Any assistance would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
 
Just bumping this thread in case anyone missed it. Really trying to figure this out.

What is the duration of the motion events? What happens if he exports that event does it show up? Is the system programmed to store the motion event to disk vs just alerting:

IE: email / surveillant station?
 
Unfortunately my uncle got as new router without telling me so I can no longer access his cameras. I'll be there is 2 weeks and I'll port forward again so I can access them. I'll look into exporting the event and report back. Not too sure of the length of the motion events, but again, I'll check when I can. The motion event is stored to the micro SD card, no alerting enabled.

Port forwarding is a huge security risk.
See the wiki for secure options.
 
I understand the security risks about Port Forwarding. Unfortunately at this time a VPN is not an option for him. If you know of any well written tutorials on how to set up a VPN I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Chris
