Seems that Hikvision - iVMS 4500 is dead on arival they added a update, i updated the copy on my iPad2 and since then it does not work, i can not log into the devices, i had a copy of the older version on my iPhone and iPad 1 and it still works and all these devices use the latest ios4 i wrote to Hikvision about it and they wrote one email in response asking my location to be assisted but on reply i got a email delivery, as if i am blocked anyone else

Hi So i got a dvr/dvs, has Ethernet, supports internet with iPhone etc, uses Crossed Ethernet cables between been connected to the computer directly or to the router. my question is if he dvr will connect to the net automatically to the net if its directly connected to a router via Ethernet or do i have to fill in the login credentials to the router as i do with wifi, wepkey etc

im having the same problem but the difference is my dvr does send a IP to the web browsers but not to the router, you see i can not see the dvr at all on my router using my ISPs web gui, how ever when i type the address of the router in i get a login window to the dvr, on my iPhone i can see cameras, i can even see the DVR ip address on my computers remote desktop application ( i use apple stuff) but when it comes to the internet my ISP,s cabletv webGUI does not show anything other then the cable TV Box connected to my router via Ethernet (LAN), perhaps its the same thing perhaps its not but i thought it would be worth mentioning in case. im about to contact my ISP about it to ask how i can port forward anything, i dont get to choose a port number with their GUI, i see just a list of applications/games and the list of what shows in their GUI connected to the router LAN or WIFI wise and the DVR is not there while yet on my local network devices it is. wierd

ok i found a work around i took a IP which the router gave to another computer and turned on DMZ on that devise, then i gave that IP to the DVR, bamm, it showed up on the ETHERNET chain, then i locked the IP and mac address inside the ISPs web GIU for the router, the computer which had the same IP then could not get unto the net, so i went into its advanced settings and renewed the lease (recent IP) as if it never used the network before and when i turned on wifi for the computer it was given a completely new IP as to the one it had now on the DVR and so everything works now. thanks!

ok so my problem ends up been port forwarding, i found out the default port number but how to forward a port with my IPS GUI is backwards here, i dont have port numbers, just names to choose from, games, htttp, ftp , ichat aim, msn etc etc so lets say its port 80 or whatever, i assume some gae uses it and use it assigned to the IP number of the dvr?

i got the local network working, its the net i am lost with, local IP So far i got the local IP set up on the DVR, the DVR connected to the router and a IP created for the DVR which shows up successfully according to my routers page BUT I while i can access it on my local network with my iPhone it fails with my computer using a browser, we use iMacs here so maybe that is why. Using the net: As for the net i did what you suggested, i got the IP address from that site, tried logging in via GSM as if i was outside but that failed Now assuming its a port forwarding issue what port number is it i use, before it showed a number like 80 or 8000, would that be the port i have to make in my firewall settings?

If it is all set up correctly then it should just be a matter of putting 192.0.0.10 into your web browser address bar and hitting enter. hey thanks, i was able to see it on my iphone via the local network settings 192 etc but how do i see it from the internet outside my network? do i just type my ip address:8000 or whatever port?

so lets say its 192.0.0.10 and now i connect it with a brand new Ethernet ADSL (not crossed) cable, how do i access a hikvision dvr from there? I am assuming i can use my iphone, blackberry or web browser some how via my local network.

True So why not a upgrade all these years? I guess it depends on what you need

Hi I just purchased the HIK Vision DS-7204HI-VS TODAY after checking out a few 4 channel units to compare it at a very cool place near me, not only did they demonstrate it but they will help me set it up to go and if i dont like it i can get another one so stand by Why i chose it so far, Works with our iPhone, Said to be solid as a rock, Has all the common features larger unites offer but just channels and just less bells and whistles on the back bigger units offer for commercial environments The guys at the shop say it does ftp and send email alerts with pictures etc. http://linovision.en.alibaba.com/viewimg/picture.html?picture=http://i01.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/284796149/DVR_application_to_make_Hikvision_DVR_access.jpg But is this the same model? here is a manual http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:K9SSitEq8WMJ:www.hikvision.com/en/uploadfile/User%2520Manual%2520of%2520the%2520DS-7204HI-VS%2520Net%2520DVR%2520V2.pdf+Hikvision+DS-7204HI-s-vs+reviews&hl=en&gl=es&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESgOfkbBrkidoViEDtkhoM4P_wEdPl0uEIbAZH174VHKmh9pF68_jTCCpq7IwL2woQRyyaoiCJkLZvmQvdBfMNg_KWAk7ZJOqqp81BxOqPOfoDp4ziopAtZ5LIlkTEH7ifhYAHAf&sig=AHIEtbQHYtG0mP0nfth231Fj52p3r_Blew

OUTDOORS: We need to watch the front of the house, we have too many kids on the street picking the mail box, removing the names, trying to get into our garage during the night to steal tools., also one talk back system integrated where we can control cameras and sound from the iphone when anyone rings the bell. INDOORS: I like to have a at least one camera that is wireless so we can place it in either of the 2 bigger rooms the kids when they are playing to keep an eye on who did what when fights break out Originally i was thinking of getting a 8 or 4 channel DVR/NVR, 2 outdoor AV cameras, system controlled by iphones, if DVRs can record that great too, motion detection, night vision and talk back for outside sounds cool., having 8 channels allows me to add and move other cameras around indoors, but maybe 4 channels is enough if the cams are easy to move around while keeping receiver connected to DVR, i just worry after reading around that wireless cams are hackable and people can intercept them and invade our privacy, i am new to this so i could be wrong. i can live with one av ptz type camera in the front of the house and just use a wireless for the back or inside to watch the kids. What would you recommend for this type of set up, we are over in Europe.

hi guys i am impressed with using the iPhone to monitor home surveillance system, we have 3 kids and like to keep an eye on the nanny while away. Can a budget of 600 bucks buy me a solid dvr 8 camera system, 2 outdoor cams with talk back and 6 inside and all in all that works over the net with our ipad or iphones?

thanks for the quick response so what cams and all would i need that cover a 30 foot front yard, 75 foot back yard, 4 rooms inside?
