Hi guys, I was wondering if you guys can help me with this. I got 2 Hikvision systems on the network (7608NI and 7616) connected. The 7608 has 8 cameras connected on the built-in PoE switch and the 7616 has 10 cameras (8 are connected to the built-in PoE) and 2 are connected on the local network with poe switch (192.168.x.x subnet). I got all the channels to show up and they work on the NVRs (both of them) but I wanted to stream certain cameras from both NVRs to 2 different TVs.
If I use a normal computer (ivms-4200 for windows) and connect to the NVR, would this causing any issues with streaming the same cameras twice? Would it have enough bandwidth and capacity to pull it? What I mean is that PC1 and PC2 might be pulling streams from the same NVR if I wanted to show the same camera (eg. front door, back yard, etc).
What I originally had setup was on the 7616 machine, I moved some of the cameras from the internal PoE switch to the local lan because the subnet was 192.168.254.x and reconfigured it with 192.168.x.x ip addresses, so that I can setup 2 x 7104 to pull the streams on some TVs. I had both units pulling streams from the same cameras (not all of them just a couple cross streamed) but after a while, the streams would just freeze and the screen would either say NO RESOURCE on the individual channel. I tried to type in the direct internal IP address that was auto assigned through Hikvision Plug-and-Play and adding it to the 7104 that way but the stream would not show (just didn't connect). The NVR didn't route between the internal PoE subnet and the local LAN.
I never could figure out this problem. How do you guys stream the specific camera feeds to multiple TVs? I tried buying an android box from Amazon, installed iVMS-4500 via play store and loading it up that way but there is major delay for a couple of seconds on the feed when I tried it. I want to be able to show live feed with no delays because I need to monitor some cameras in real time.
Would installing the windows client solve this problem? I had a feeling that pulling multiple main-streams from the same camera is causing the feed to drop after a while due to crashing the processor on the camera or just over utilizing the bandwidth. I hope by connecting to the NVR and I can pull the streams that way, it would fix my problem. I am going to test it out this weekend but I wanted to know if anyone had any experience with this before I try it.
Thanks!
