Getting the hang of it
It seems I found myself in a bit of technical trouble, and hoping the forum collective may have a couple ideas as to how I can get back to normal.
I have a simple Hikvision setup.
SADP & iVMS-4200 setup on a dedicated windows 8 system. 6 hikvision cameras. One camera may have bitten the dust and refuses to come back online.
Both these programs were on version 2 something, and worked fine. Have not felt the need to update them in a couple years.
I got 4 new cameras. Want to test out the first one.
SADP 2 saw all my existing cameras, and the new one but I couldn't do anything to it.
Got the latest version of SADP 3 ... I can see the new camera, do the activation.
Fall down the rabbit hole of firefox, chrome, edge ... finally launching Internet Explorer.
Cool, it shows it an image.
iVMS 2 shows my active cameras (and the disconnect error on the malfunctioning one) but it will not see the new one.
Sure enough. Hikvision has iVMS 3 something.
Download. Install / update.
Set the new admin password thing.
And
... I have no cameras on screen any more?
Layout screen gone.
Device management only shows that I could add the new camera?
What happened???
Why did it delete my setup? or not carry it over?
Where are my existing cameras???
I depended on that main view 9 grid with 6 boxes filled!
So, okay, maybe I need to reconfigure this as a new setup ...
But it all goes to ??!!?? when SADP 3 and iVMS-4200 3 do not show my cameras that I have had for a couple years, and were working just fine under v2 yesterday.
I sincerely appreciate any help and insights to hopefully get back on track without too many headaches.
