You need to move the camera away from the wall, so it will not be so bright due to the IR.

4 port Hikvision NVR. Want to go even cheaper? Stay with the $50 Raspberry and 1HD+3SD streams.

Streams do NOT go through third party servers. That is only used for establishing the connection without the need of port opening, once the connection is established, everything happens the same way as if you were connecting directly through the device.

Does your firmware actually support Ezviz? Do you have the "platform access" section on the network configuration? Make screenshots on what problem you are having.

Some Hikvision cameras do have alarm inputs; you might want to change the cameras you have on those spots for another model that has alarm input, so you can connect the PIR to the camera, instead of needing to run the cable all the way to the NVR.

As I already told you on another thread, the 888888 account never works from network; it is only for local use, with monitor and mouse connected to the device. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=45848 Try it with a new unit, and you will see that the results are the same that on those devices that have been compromised; "the user does not exist".

If you leave your car unlocked and it gets stolen, would you blame the car manufacturer? If not, what makes you think Dahua would be doing anything?

... - V5.3.0 products cannot be downgraded to lower version models; ... I am not brave enough

The basics: - Change all default passwords, and do not use easy passwords. You might even want to change user names. - Use non default ports. - Open to the world only the needed ports (do not use DMZ). - Configure your systems to email you if there is any failed login attempt. If paranoid: - Lock admin account to a given IP, MAC address, etc. - Only login remotely with limited rights accounts (if you only want to do live view from remote, create an account that only has access to live view). - Check logs once in a while to see what connections there have been. etc.

On installation you get to pick what to install. Pick just iVMS-4200 client.

I would try with another power supply; if possible, find one that is 12V 5A. Are you sure that power supply is the one that came with the unit? 2.5A seems very low for a unit that supports 2 hard drives.

What power supply are you using with that unit, how many volts/amps?

Been using hik-online/HiDDNS for years, it works great.

Whatever.

Dahua's 888888 account is only for local access, it can only be used with a monitor and mouse plugged on the unit. It can not be used from network.

You have not detected anything like you stat on the subject. You just "suspect" there is a tracker. Suggestions? Look for it.

Yes, you can do that. Are you exporting from NVR or from iVMS or from camera? Share that info!

Make sure the gateway and DNS servers on the network config are OK. Also, it is indeed a good idea to use a web port other than 80.

As Boogieman said, that has nothing to do with your cameras, but with the program you are using. Just an idea (I have not even heard before of GeniusVision); maybe that is a limitation on the demo/free/trial version of the software? There are "Online version failed" errors on your log. Is it possible that the program can not verify online that it is registered, and is running with limitations?

If you really need to do that so much, export the video file to any common format, and google "avi to exe" for ways of making an executable from a video.

" title="Applause" /> Well, 80m for POE is a long cable. You would have trouble geting it to work even with the best Cat6, pure copper AWG23 cable. You might try a better cable, or you will need to use another switch in the middle.

With iVMS-4500 and your PC you might be accessing your NVR, and not your cameras.

Are your cameras accessible from the network? Or are they connected to the POE switch on the NVR, and only accessible for the NVR?

What cable are you using? 80m network cable is not a problem if you are not using POE (which you are not).

I think you might have been watching too many James Bond movies.
