    Camera for iSmartGate garage door opener

    Hi I recently installed the ismartgate garage door opener (ismartgate.com). It lets you open or close the garage door via their app. I could also do it remotely. I can also use my IP camera already installed in garage to view the live feed of garage door within the ismartgate app. Or when I...

    Forgot Hikvision NVR pass, but have Config file

    Hi Thanks for your reply. It’s not the cam, but NVR password that I am talking about. I grabbed the NVR configuration file from iVMS-4200. It was a zip file and when I unzipped it, it further contained many files. Here is a screenshot of all files.

    Forgot Hikvision NVR pass, but have Config file

    Hi I wanted to access some past footage so went to NVR and tried to log-in. Alas, I had forgotten my password. I then remembered that I had iVMS-4200 installed and logged in on my PC. I quickly grabbed the Configuration file from iVMS-4200. I then also extracted the XML file through SADP tool...

    DS-2CD2432F-IW not recording

    I checked it after reading your message and it was Purple (Other). I then went into Edit > All Day > Motion Detection. Then I clicked Copy to Week > Select All. Then OK, then Save. Now it is Green (Motion Detection). Walked into its FoV. Still no record file :(

    DS-2CD2432F-IW not recording

    I thought they had the same settings. But on a closer look, I found that under ""Linkage Method", Trigger Channel wasn't ticked. I ticked it and walked into the motion detection area. It still didn't record any file. Other than that all settings were similar.

    Ivms 4500 not working on network wifi

    So do you have a static external IP where you are accessing your NVR on mobile network or do you have DDNS ? I have two entries under Devices. One is for when on mobile network, which is via Hikvision DDNS. Other entry is the local network IP of the NVR. When I am home, I just select the...

    Hik DDNS issues setting up on iPhone iVMS 4500

    OK, I might be getting close. I just deleted the NVR from my hik-online account and added it back again. What does the 'Platform effective port' mean in the pic below ? I have also disabled uPnP but it hasn't helped (it did eventually, probably needed some time to kick in. See post below)

    Hik DDNS issues setting up on iPhone iVMS 4500

    Re: Hik DDNS and iPhone iVMS 4500 app Yeah, that is working and will work until the dynamic IP address changes. But doesnt that defeat the whole point of DDNS if you enter an IP address ..?? Its not a static IP, hence my need for getting DDNS working on the app I just want DDNS to work when...

    iVMS-4200 Windows 10 - hangs

    I mostly use the web GUI interface for NVR/cams rather than iVMS-4200 because the video doesnt display properly in iVMS. See screenshot - the image is not fully filling up the frame, if you understand what I mean.

    Buying 50 4k hikvisions - chose Chinese or english version?

    hmmm, I see. In that case would the OP have any bargaining power if he is buying 50 cams at ~$400 a pop. Total sale: $20,000. Should be incentive enough :)

    Buying 50 4k hikvisions - chose Chinese or english version?

    You dont need to know Chinese. The Chinese firmware cameras are 'hacked' to be multi-language and English is one of the languages. I am using 8 of them with no problem. Just be careful not to update firmware otherwise it will revert back to Chinese language firmware. I am talking about 3MP IP...
