Hi,

I am trying to hook up IVMS-4200 to my DVR (DS-7208HUHI K2/P) but keep getting Invalid IP Address when I am in fact referencing the correct DVR IP address (it was even auto-filled into the details I completed).

I can normally solve most tech issues like this to be honest but I am truly at the end of my tether on this one (I realise that drop-kicking the PC out of the window is a final option still available to me). It ought to be straightforward but I cannot see what is wrong even after trawling the might of Google and studying every parameter on every page of the DVR menu’s.

I tried initially on my imac, and eventually suspecting it simply didn’t work I set IVMS-4200 up on an old windows laptop but got exactly the same error (error 55).

When I look on the DVR Config/Network/Platform Access parameters it shows it as online.

I can set up and see my 2 IP cameras on IVMS-4200 but not the DVR and therefore the associated 5 coax connected cameras.

I have Hik-Connect on my iPhone and all of that is fine and dandy.

If anyone has come across this issue and knows a resolution then any help/pointers are very gratefully received.

Thanks,
