    Upgrading question, How easy?

    Your point of an NVR is well taken. While this is a home system i Have worked on camera installs with 40 and 50 cameras. One on a computer we never upgraded and another on an NVR which we never upgraded. I have no idea what was running on the NVR, probably some linux version or some Windoes...

    Upgrading question, How easy?

    This does make sense. I cant remember what the memory is right now but I tried to max it out knowing that this was important. Of course I know there was limitations to Win7. Eventually I will buy a new computer but if its not broken etc. And its such a small number of cameras usually 2...

    Upgrading question, How easy?

    True, Im aware support ended long ago. I still get updates I think because this is an enterprise version, not sure. But it does work well enough currently. Purchasing a new computer really just for one feature emailing, I'm not really going to do. I can use google. And there is a work around...

    Emailing through Outlook.com problems

    I had been using successfully outlook.com to email from one camera to my email. (This is just the free outlook.com not O365) I have not used this for some time but it worked great. I went to use it and it failed with the following message. Proceeding Connected Error with user authentication...

    How to hook up audio to headset mic - Hikvision ?

    My model is DS-2CD3145F-IS 2.8mm At the time I bought it I did not know there was a gray market and just bought it on Amazon. After a while I read up on it and saw that it was a Chinese model converted to English and upgrades were not possible. It was being broken into by hackers, so I removed...

    How to hook up audio to headset mic - Hikvision ?

    I have an older gray market Hikvision that it appears cant be upgraded. I wanted to test the concept of hooking a mic from headset up to it to record videos. Really I'm just messing about and wanted to see if I could do it. I have looked at several web sites but am generally confused. Not sure...

    What are blank spaces in the time line ??

    Thanks . So since you dont use combine or clip, that means you have physically many small video files on your hard disk?

    What are blank spaces in the time line ??

    Thank you for your answer. Let me see if I understand you?? Its not easy. What you seem to be saying is that if you have the cut time set to 8 hours, then there will be an 8 hour coloured bar, so long as there was at least one triggered motion. (set to motion detect). However that does not...

    What are blank spaces in the time line ??

    When I look at the time line sometimes there is a coloured lines and other times blank spaces. Note the picture below . There is a space between the pink and blue bars (which represent cameras) But there is also no blue above pink and no pink bar below blue. Other times the colours do show up...

    Dont completely understand what timeline is indicating on BI

    But of course you can save the video out of the 4 Gig file into something much smaller. And you pretty much have to if you save it as a .bvr. You would want to save it as a more friendly format. eg AVI, mpg what ever. Im sure you know this. :) Regards

    OpenVPN Server or Client

    Well I just kinda gave up and bought an ASUS Router. I bought a RT-AC66B1. I have to say that it was fairly easy to set up. Others may rag on me but I found the DDWRT Openvpn confusing, and not that easy to set up, certainly for a novice VPNner. And I have installed DDWRT on several routers...

    Dont completely understand what timeline is indicating on BI

    Thank you for your response and answer. I wonder why this is done like this however? Is it done to save CPU resource? Maybe the BI opens a file for recording and keeps it open, waiting for data. (Big catchers Mit). Then at the configured time closes the file. This saves the process of opening...

    EZVIZ does not work with VPN

    Thank you for your response. And test. Interesting what you are staying. I'm unclear what my ISP's modem supports. I'm also a bit frightened to change many of its settings, although I have changed some. I do use it for some devices. I also know that my isp is not knowledgeable on their router...

    EZVIZ does not work with VPN

    Not sure if this is a networking/ASUS quesion or Hikvision question. Its really both probably. I have a number of problems with the EZVIZ app on my Samsung tablet A. I do not have an account with Hikvision, I just use it by connecting to the network and searching for the Hikvision camera. This...

    Dont completely understand what timeline is indicating on BI

    I have never really understood the time line in the bottom of the main screen of BI. This is the part that is below the Main picture, below the line that has the Date and hour. eg Ok what don't I understand? I get the aspect that the little walking man indicates that there was motion at this...

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    I had asked about this in the past but wondered if anyone has had recent experience. I bought HV camera several years ago. I discovered after some time that it was one of the hackable cameras from china. I have removed port forwarding so that this problem is not affecting me anymore, but I would...

    Can I see pixels of camera in BI ?

    Thank you for your comment. I could not find that on my Hikvision or on my Geovision. I have not checked my other models I have. However, The Hikvision does have in the video picture a little Icon that looks like a square (bottom RHS) that you might see in editing software, photoshop or...

    Can I see pixels of camera in BI ?

    thank you . The boxes that you mention however are not pixels. For example on my screen 100 boxes is like the whole screen across the picture. So that is not even close to a pixel. It isnt really a good guide. A 100 Pixel Box would essentially be the whole picture. Im thankful for those that...

    Can I see pixels of camera in BI ?

    I have had BI for quite a while. I started reading a bit on detection always trying to improve things. I did not realize that a pixel is different depending on the resolution of the camera. Is there any way in BI to see what a it considers is a pixel in each camera. I have a couple of cameras...

    Operation Failed Live view using iVMS-4500

    Back after Christmas. Hope you had a good one, all things considered. I have a varetly of questions and comments. I have install EZVIZ on my Samsung Tablet. When I search for cameras on the network, it immediately finds the two cameras and when I press on the camera it immediately opens the...

    Operation Failed Live view using iVMS-4500

    Thank you for your responses. Well networks are tricky I admit. However, the cameras are hardwired to network, Yes My Samsung Pad is wifi, but the older camera works fine the newer camera does not. So One would think both would function poorly if it was a wifi issue. Also, my Geovision camera...

    Continuous motion detection trigger

    Not sure if you resolved this, but there is an option in Tab, Trigger/Configure/Highlight for camera where if motion is found it highlights it. I found when setting up a camera that if you turn this on then you get an idea of what is moving, then you can remove that area from sensor. eg. tree...
