Hi
I have two locations each with the same brand of hikvision dvr, I got myself two TP-Link routers and installed dd-wrt and an opevpn client and I have a server with a public IP and an openvpn server. So now each path for the dvrs looks as follows
Client PC -> Server With Public IP - Port 10014 -- VPN Link to TP-Link router --> Port forward to DVR:8000
I have the exact same setup for both dvrs apart from the NAT ports, I can telnet into both ports to check if those are open.
Problem is as follows
For one dvr
It works great, PC app IVMS and Iphone app work and all is great
For second dvr
It works on my PC but not on any other PC !!
On the iphone I just get a black screen nothing else, same on ipad, however I can access the config and tweak it, which essentially would mean that I actually do have correct port forwarding, and since it does work on my PC it does also prove that correct port forwading was setup
To add insult to injury, for dvr one it was working on my android, but since I got upgraded to Andriod 4.2.0 it only flashes the camera image and then shows a black screen. It was working perfectly before that.
All in all, I do suspect that the apps are playing crazy games on me, but I can not prove that. Anyone faced a similar issue before ? Any alternative apps you guys have tried and WORKED ? for Hikvision apart from IVMS ? For PC/Iphone/Android ?
Regards
