Hello, I've been very satisfied with my Hikvision DVR (analog). No problems connecting remotely. But when I enhance the image using the android app. on my phone, the image becomes very clear, but eventually the FPS slow down until it freezes. Could this a speed problem with my Linksys router? My Verizon high speed DSL? or my cell phone carrier Mr. T Where do I start? Thanks!

thanks, I must be not looking at the correct domes.

Hello All, In the past...when mounting external cameras, I've routed my power/video cable inside the wall cavity. Now I'm challenged to install exterior dome cameras without entering the wall cavity because the house is +100 years old. It's not worth the risk of disturbing the electrical wiring within the walls. My only option seems to be running conduit 12' vertically up the side of the house from the basement sill plate. The problem is what kind of termination box do I use? Do I mount the dome to the termination box? I planned on using surface mount domes? Does anyone have pics of surface mount domes using conduit boxes? Thanks!

Hello, The app is now available on the Android Market. Search for "Hikvision" or "IVMS-4500". I'm thinking it's a phone setting because I've been able to view my DVR from various "Windows" computers across town for quite some time. Thanks!

Hello All, I have a Hikvision DVR and want to use my Motorola Android phone for remote viewing. After a few months of searching, I found a Hikvision IVMS-4500 app that works with Android. With the WiFi feature enabled on my cell phone, I'm able to view my camera within my home's WiFi network. But I can't view my camera outside my WiFi network. My DVR is connected through my wireless router in my home. Is this a port setting issue? Has anybody successfully remotely monitored their Hikvision DVR with an Android app ? Thanks!

Hello, I have an Motorola Cliq w/ Android v1.5 - Motorola stated they have no plans on updating my firmware version. My phone is to old Motorola wants to sell "New" phones, not fix their old ones. Hikvision website says they don't have an app yet for Android OS... My nephew has a Iphone and we tested IVMS-4500 earlier today...pretty cool I should have purchased an Iphone (2) cell phones ago... Let me know if there is an app for my Motorola Cliq (Android OS v1.5) Thanks!

Hello, Well the hunt is on for a phone or app the connects to my DVR. The DMZ test is great. It's disabled now, and I can still access the device. Thanks for sharing your networking experience with this newbie. I have a greater understanding on how my router actually works. All seems to be working just fine. I'm sure I'll be posting more questions as I progress. Thanks Again ! " title="Applause" />

Hello All! To test my understanding, My linksys will have 2 entries (8080 and 90) in "Port Forwarding" both pointing to the same 192.168.1.102 ? New pics: After fussing around the port forwarding is now 8080 and I did add the Gateway as discussed. When I turn off DMZ, I can no longer connect remotely... Thanks!

Hello, Yes, not using default pswrd.. Completed WORKS... When I enable DMZ I can log into my DVR by entering my Verizon IP 108.xxx.xxx.xxx, then I'm prompted for the DVR Password... Thanks to my neighbor not securing his wireless, I just disconnect from my network to perform any checks/tests. Works from accross town PC. I understand the DMZ opens all ports to the internet. So I problem may still be with port forwarding? Completed... Found something! DVR makes no mention of Android compatability...I'm using Android OS on my phone. Calling my friends to see who has Windows Mobile on their phone to test. Still chipping away...stay tuned... Thank You!

Hello, I was using TightVNC on my PC & AndroidVNC on my phone, and yes it was 5900. That's when I tried a cheap used PCI slot DVR card. I coundn't see any live video and it had very slow response time. It was too much fussing for me so I'm trying a DVR unit to replace my PC. IPChicken & Linksys status are the same IP address, When I enter the address indicated by IPChicken into my browser, it takes me to my Linksys router's home page. Trying to get some pics...

Hello, I have to call verizon back tomorrow regarding a "Static IP" address and it's costs. Curious: How come I didn't need a "Static IP" when I used VNC to remotely connect my cell phone to my PC? Sorry for the questions, I know too little about alot of different things. Thanks!

Hello, Well, I called Verizon when I couldn't access the modem's web page. Verizon said my Westell 2100 modem is a dumb modem (no logon site, no port blocking, no changes can be made internally). I guess that's good, one less thing to program. My IP with Verizon is dynamic. So I'm now down to (2) devices Linksys router & the DVR. Still learning/reading about the other settings...stay tuned.. Thanks!

Hello, After reading the different forums, I thought my post would be more suitable in the "Computers/Networking" forum. Outside Line >Verizon DSL Modem > Linksys WRT54G wireless router > Hikvision. Linksys web page: Under "Set UP" tab the Linksys is currently in DHCP mode. Should this be set to "Static IP"? I think your right about my DVR is using a IP assigned by the router. I've been changing the ports to match both DVR & router (5900, 8000, 8080, etc..). Just for test purposes & because a router can really muddy things up, could I remove the router and just plug the DVR into the Verizon modem? Would this method determine if my ISP is blocking my access? Thanks!

Hello All, I just purchased my first DVR/DVS, a Hikvision DS-7204HVI-S. So far I only have (1) camera connected to it. When I type in the DVR's IP address in my broswer window, I have no problem viewing it from within my home's wireless network. Next step is to connect to it from outside my home's network. I enabled port forwarding on my linksys router but I can't seem to connect. I have Verizon DSL as my ISP. What information am I missing from my Linksys router or DVR? The box claims you can view live from a cell phone? So from another PC shouldn't be a problem? Thanks!

Hello, I just purchased a Hikvision DS-7204HVI-S DVR. I connected a camera to it and have no problem viewing it from within my home's wireless network. Now I'm trying to view my DVR camera using my cell phone using CMS Mobile. When I click the app on the phone I get a "Socket is not connected" message. What information do I need from my Linksys router and DVR? Thanks!
