    Hikvision client iVMS4200

    Does anyone know what this installation error means? error: "sadp_npf failed to install. Please close related program and try again" I am getting this error on Win 8.1 Lenovo PC and a Win 7 PRO Acer laptop [AMD CPU]. Errors caused by new firmware "upgrade". HUGE mistake. Thank you for taking...

    OK....the uninstall and re-install of the iVMS4500 HD app worked well on one of my tablets. So, I'm encouraged that I may be able to get the cell to work as well. Both the tablet and cell have the latest versions, regardless of whether it was the original install or is a re-install. Tells me...

    CoreyX64: Discovering that the iVMS4500 HD version on cell is version that is listed as the latest in app store. Not good when this version yields the Error 153. A little research makes me think that Error 153 is that software thinks a wrong user ID or password has been used. Local instance of...

    Yes, sir! Far more responsive with actual information pertinent to situation as opposed to some manual that is written in very poor English grammatical constructions; with the expectation that you will somehow have an epiphany just by staring at what is on the paper.

    It may have been closer to $100. on the splitters, but I have like 10-15 of them. I forgot to apologize for making my posts hard to follow.

    Need help finding location in iVMS4200 for camera display size.

    Need help resetting iVMS4200 camera display size....options are 4:3, 16:9, original... I have forgotten how to access. Somehow, I managed to get the displayed camera imagery to a size that gives a black border around the Live View frames. Thank you for responses!

    0400 hrs: Update - Seems a clean install of the iVMS4200 and RemoteBackup software was required. Originally I just upgraded the existing instance of the client software. Client version read correctly - no access. Thought about, this morning, the idea of removing original iVMS4200 from OS and...

    *************** I never understood the leaf thing either....programmer probably thought it was cool. Who knows, right? I mean, we're dealing with Chinese people here....no rhyme or reason for the way they think. Very different than American logic. To further that point, although different...

    Thank you for response, again! I have strong passwords in place for both DVR console and clients, whether iVMS or web-based. In fact, I think I set it to the same password, although unnecessary, since each instance has its own login process locally. It is the iVMS loss of functionality that...

    0815 hrs: Update - Still unable to access via browser; same error "Locked, try back in 30 minutes". Problem is, it has been almost 45 minutes. Incidentally, I can access DVR at the DVR. Is this some BS, or what? 0915 hrs: Update - User 'admin' is locked. The documentation I found under the...

    0730 hrs: Update - This is rich. Web-based monitoring became unresponsive. All cameras disappeared. Could not access DVR information. Closed browser and attempted to log back in -FORGET IT, PAL! Error message: "Unit is locked down for 30 minutes" I had done nothing but sit and watch the cameras...

    0700 hrs: Update - Web-based monitoring leaves a lot to be desired. Live View camera layout reverts to some default of 4x4 if you venture from that tab. And, I'm not really liking the idea of having to reconstruct my camera layout every time I access this DVR via a browser. And, then, there's...

    0630 hrs: Update - Not sure why, but neither client monitoring software versions work with this new "firmware" [actually, firmware and GUI were both updated]. In that "update/flash", it appears that the "monitoring" process/function has been reallocated to web based access, rather than the...

    Awakened today to find that it appears the cameras are now recording "event" of motion. Couldn't find any footage after about 1500 hrs yesterday, but for some reason, I have footage from the wee hours of the morning [0000 hrs forward for 02/20/2016] after I went to bed. SADP is representing the...

    Well....after fiddling with the DVR that is showing all cameras functional [per VGA mode], I realized that even if Continuous Recording is selected, the most recent file was recorded around 1515 hours today - the same time the firmware was upgraded. Went back, Mr. CoreyX64, and reflashed with...

    ********************* Out of the pickle, up to a point. Got to thinking about what you said re: resolution. The "monitor" that I've been using is a 40" Visio LCD, via HDMI and wall mounted in one room, so I can see what is happening from my recliner. It still presents the two words "Invalid...

    ********************************* Most grateful for your response. Everything you stated, I "believed" before asking the question, if that makes any sense. The problems I've run into are that same configs yield different results across different NAS units. Different configs yielded same group of...

    Thank you for your response. My statement of having 3 NAS units may have been a mistake. IT is true, but I am only trying to manipulate the QNAP NAS, a 469 Pro, to be a redundant drive for the Hikvision DS-7216-HWI-SH DVR. The DVR is maximized at HDD upper limit of 4 GB using Q2-2GB HDDs...

    NAS set as Redundant HDD - what else must I do?

    I came to this forum back a few months ago, looking for a way to record simultaneously to 2 separate targets. I could not figure out how to make NAS communicate with my DVR because Hikvision doco is sadly lacking and I know absolutely nothing about this game. Well, I managed to get the DVR and...

    Splitting coax cable

    Thank you for your response. I figured as much, although without the specificity of number of decibel loss, since this is not my field of 'expertise'. Your response I greatly appreciated! :cool: In that I think I have found a different alternative to executing my goal of recording CCTV to 2...

    The police want a copy of Dahua hard drive to investigate B&E

    No, they won't. That is just wishful thinking. IF, the HDD is seized, which would be what happens when they know you have evidence and refuse to give it up, then they hold on to that evidence FOREVER. It goes into an evidence box that gets stashed as a matter of public record, just in case some...

    Having difficulty connecting ReadyNas NVPlus to Hikvision DVR

    Yes, I can create a share and assign size as well as file structure/type/protocol such as NFS or CIFS, AFS, HTTP/HTTPS. I deleted the "allocation" files and set a 1000 MB limit on existing directory to no avail. Yet the DVR reads NAS HDD capacity. Created a new NFS share just off the root, set...

    Having difficulty connecting ReadyNas NVPlus to Hikvision DVR

    I have a DVR doing recording now. I want to record to two locations in real time. I think the DVR has the capability. I'm just not smart enough to make it happen. And, the manual is almost worthless to someone who knows nothing about video cameras and recorders.

    Having difficulty connecting ReadyNas NVPlus to Hikvision DVR

    Well, I spoke too soon...much too optimistic evidently. NAS was "formatted" but status showed "uninitiated" before I restarted the "initiate" process again.....I can see the "allocation" files by browsing the NAS NFS share. I tried to load a screenprint but somehow it isn't taking very well...

    Having difficulty connecting ReadyNas NVPlus to Hikvision DVR

    Dreamboat and alastairstevenson, Thank you, Gentlemen! I was almost there but could not figure out what I was doing wrong. Turns out that setting up the share on DVR requires exact case of share name characters. The NAS is "formatting" as I write this note of gratitude. I hope that once the NAS...

    Has anyone split coax cable from cameras to send signal to two DVRs? I'm wondering how much quality loss is involved. Thank you for your insights..

    Which HDD is recommend for NVR ?

    I've never used the purples. I have blacks in personal PC and reds as backups for my NAS devices should any of them fail.... My experience with Seagate HDDs is that they will usually crap out just prior to warranty expiring, if you are lucky....I had them in a Netgear ReadyNas and every one of...
