Good luck with the recording. I don't use an NVR or a storage server but it's impossible to record any event from the door station to an SD card in an indoor station or to my hard drive. There's a clue in the door station iVMS-4200 config which lists none of the usual event options. It's an...

What are your camera sub-streams set to? They need to be H264 and within the resolution supported by the video intercom (1024x600 in the case of the KH6230). If either H or W is set to higher then I don't think you will see the feed.

If you put all your cams on the same port only one will work. Assign each cam its own port number.

Just to clear up this red herring, I'm embarrassed to report that my iVMS-4200 alarm sounds weren't emanating from my Mac client but from the Windows client which had been left running in emulation, out of sight and out of mind. Peace reigns - and I was able to get my editing done. I still...

I'd say the first image is looking into the sun, which will usually result in haze/glare, whilst the second is looking away from the sun. You can mitigate glare in settings but the sun moves [or the earth does] so any setting is only good for an hour or two.

I need to update this having just finished testing the 2MP Reolink Lumus wi-fi cam with integral spotlight. I'm not sure what they've changed but the PIR detection is the best I've seen from Reolink; it also automatically filters out most false alarms from insects, birds, etc. I still wouldn't...

I can't help with configuring the 8003 as a standalone device as I have always had an indoor station too. I gather from reading about others' experiences that Hik-Connect can't be properly set up for the door station unless an indoor station has also been installed. [If that is true then the...

Even when iVMS-4200 isn't open on my iMac, I can still hear all my camera alarm sounds [how is it doing that?]. This is sometimes useful and sometimes inconvenient. For example, I'm trying to make a Quicktime screen recording on same High Sierra iMac and the camera alerts mess up the soundtrack...

The Door Station live feed can be viewed from anywhere in VLC using the RTSP protocol after port forwarding, ie: rtsp://8003admin:8003password@IPaddress:forwardedportnumber/Streaming/channels/101 [for HD or /102 for sub stream] Example -...

Firmware - How do I find the latest firmware for my Hikvision camera? Firmware - How do I update HikVision Firmware in just nine simple steps? - updated 20th February 2019

Select each camera in the lower Online Devices section and click on the Modify NetInfo button. Therein you can enter a unique IP for each, along with the MAC address [probably 255.255.255.0] and the Gateway [Router] IP which will be something like 192.168.1.1. They should be good to add then...

#1 sounds like a faulty cable/connection #2 would be the expected consequence #3/#4/#5/#6 are because 192.168.1.64 is the default temporary IP address for all Hikvision cameras out of the box. When you select one of them and click the Add to Client button you will be presented with an...

I'm running iVMS-4200 on a Mac which gives me numerous platform-specific problems but I couldn't get downloads to work if the live view was running or even paused. I have to stop the live view before downloads will work for me.

It's a CCTV camera but the lens inside its dome could be pointing anywhere.

Can't you get a friend of family member to install the app on their iPhone and then copy it across to yours? This method may work.

Hikvision allocate the same standard port to every device so you'll need to forward each camera to its own port number.

No idea as I don't have an NVR.

You need to port forward the cameras in your router config to give them a unique identifier. Then use a URL string like this: rtsp://[admin_name]:[password]@[IP_address]:[port]/Streaming/channels/101 (for main stream or 102 for sub-stream) …which produces an example like this...

Best I can offer is VLC which will give you a streaming window with a tab button to switch between different streams.

I'm getting those emails too, and not just from China. Suddenly there's a glut of viral spam. But with state as well as private buyers now looking to place orders for Chinese cameras, it smacks of double standards. Presumably even the Trump government is looking to buy from China.
