Thanks JB, I'll give that a try. I remember playing about with Channel Zero when I first bought the NVR and somehow - but can't remember how - I got it working (not remotely) and can't repeat it. I'll keep playing around. EDIT: A bit more research and I found this: Channel Zero RTSP live...

I can connect to a single channel on the NVR using VLC Media player. But I can't get "channel 0" to work to produce a single stream which combines the individual stream from all the channels. I've tried enabling it but get no video. Unless my assumption that "channel zero" would be...

A pic is worth a thousand words - or so the saying goes. So here are a couple. This is the standard way I monitor the larger site - live viewing 9 cameras simultaneously using just Edge, over the internet, forwarding just a single custom HTTPS port. I sign in to the Foscam NVR and get this...

What I am trying to achieve is, using the simplest method possible, connect to the NVR, remotely, over the internet and be able live monitor ALL of the channels on the NVR simultaneously. On a Foscam FN3109HC 9 channel NVR that is easy. You forward one single port for HTTPS through the router...

Anyone know if there is a way to set the resolutin of the images sent with smart event email notificaitons on DS-2CD2146G2-ISU cameras? I've one site with 4 G3 models and one G5. The G3 cameras are all on the same firmware (I'll have to check) and the G5 is on a not quite latest revision...

After lots of experimentation, and some very useful suggestions from Kyle via email. I've came to the conclusion that using the web interface on these particular HikVision cameras and NVR, over the internet via port forwarding, just doesn't work for viewing the live streams or playing back...

It would take 3 UPSs for the larger site as it is spread across 3 buildings each with their own distribution board. That is the one with the Axis C1310-e. I'll probably do it at some point. I'm going to get there in the end with this issue. The first issue I had when I first bought HikVision...

As I mentioned, the very first thing I do is enable HTTPS: In addition to the 5 x DS-2CD2146G2-ISU at the larger site (4 x G3 and 1 x G5) and the 2 x DS-2CD2146G2-ISU (both brand new G5) at the new small site. I have a further 4 x DS-2CD2146G2-ISU (again brand new G5) waiting to replace the...

Absolutely! Hell, on the main site I can connect using the Android OpenVPN client, Remote Desktop (from my phone) into one of the PCs there and use that to manage all the cameras essentially locally using a web browser from my phone without any other software than the VPN client. Although I...

Even though it is really bad practise, when I am next there I might just for completeness try forwarding HTTP. I don't think I can remotely access the existing BT router to set up the rule. Once the DrayTek is in place... We are into a whole different ball game LOL

Unfortunately enabling Websockets - then rebooting the camera just to be sure - made no difference. ) Still exactly the same in both Chrome and Edge (in or out of IE mode).

Thanks JB - I'll give enabling Websockets a try. One of the first things I do is enable HTTPS as I simply refuse to do port forwarding for HTTP. Although I notice that the response of the web gui on G5 cameras via HTTPS feels decidedly "sluggish" compared to G3 via HTTPS. Although I've yet to...

I appreciate the suggestions. However, I need it to work via a web broweser and not one of HikVisions apps.

My PCs currenrtly have 1.0.0.60. They updated automatically over the weekend. I did try forwarding the server port as well - doesn't work when done over the internet. Having to open ports other than just HTTPS also creates issues when following good practise of changing the ports to...

Hi JB1970 Agreed - there should be no issues. And it does indeed work fine when on the same lan as the cameras and NVR (or connected to that lan via VPN). However, using the same test PC (a laptop in this case) which definitely has the Local Service Components/WebComponents installed, when...

Hi David, A good suggestion which I am already in the process of implementing. The older site, with the most cameras and the Foscam NVR, already has a Draytek Vigor 2865 which is there for precisely that purpose. Full remote management of the CCTV system and the PCs on site. It also has an...

This seems to be an issue to which I've yet to see a working solution - at least one I can to get to work. I have (now) two remote sites. One has 5 Hikvison DS-2CD2146G2-ISU cameras, plus 4 Foscams and an old Foscam FN3109HC NVR (long story). That all works fine with the Foscam NVR recording...

Hi Kyle, I really appreciate you getting a definitive answer from Hikvision on this, and it makes logical sense. I think the removal of the input validation check is something which probably made sense to someone at time LOL. It could even be they started work on increasing the permissable...

Time for another update on what has become something of a saga..... So what has happened since September 15th? Well after several weeks of "We are making progress with the investigation" but nothing in the way of feedback from the (alleged) guy in Mirosoft Tier 3 support, I received an email...

Breaking things is my job And I'm very good at it even when I'm not meant to he breaking them LOL
