Have you actually had it running on the native HIK app? I have seen vidoes where people have referred to a mobile section on the PCNVR software but the version I have downloaded from HIK's website has no such options, hence I have no idea which ports to use etc Yes i have it running on the HIK PCNVR and connected to it through IVMS iPhone APP. Which version of the PCNVR do you have and you are trying to view cameras internally and externally from your network right.

i just updated an older same model like yours to test and it works. What you need to do is either delete your browsing history or use another browser and go to that same camera that was doing that and try it like that. It should work. Also make sure it was updated to 5.2, look at device info. Try that and let me know.

I just retested your theory and it works. I knew it worked but had to make sure before i replied to you. You can add the PC_NVR, individually cameras or the DVR/NVR and it will pull all cameras to live view. I tested it with our app, they are all the same but we work out bugs quicker and less down time. Its called UNITY C2020 and you can download it from the app store and use it. The only thing it does not have is the Cloud service which is practically unusable because they cannot get there servers to work properly. It will work but will keep crashing. So i recommend you use our version, just an fyi.

That's me, yup. That is great. I did try it, and with iVMS-4200 I can do search for motion (that's actually the hint I needed). On the web interface I think it can not be done, but it can with iVMS-4200 which is great. Thanks! Yes it can not be done through the web interface, i should have been a little more specific. But they are actually working on integrating that feature in the web interface.

How many cameras do you think you might need?

What firmware do you have on that NVR and Cameras. Also are you setting up the email in the cameras or in the NVR. What kind of alarm is it triggering.

With Hikvision? Please ellaborate, since I am quite sure that can not be done (or at least I have never been able to do it). You can not even do two overlaping programming periods. If you try to do from 00 to 24 continuous recording, and from 06 to 18 motion recording, it will not allow you to save the schedule. Of course you cannot do it the way you are saying it. What person with a right mind would think that. If you want to record 24/7 but still be able to search the recordings for motion you CAN as long as you have motion enabled and drawn red boxes on the designated area you want to create motion detection on and save it. SO now when you go do a play back, you would go in and search by motion and WAL LA you are viewing the motion detection. If you need help setting that up to see it with your own eyes let me know and i would be more tun happy to do it for. Ive done millions of these, so don't say anything is impossible. If it can't be done, i personally call my engineers at HIkvision and we make this **** happen.

Yes you can do that. You will be recording in Continuous Mode, but also setup motion to create events. When you enable motion, you would go into the client or DVR, and rather than searching through the 24/7 recording, you would search in motion/events and it would display the points where you have had motion occur and you would click on it and it would play from that point. Make sure you are recording Continuous and also enable your motion and put your red boxes in the desired area where you want the motion detection to go off and save. Make sure you uncheck the trigger boxes if you are not wanting to trigger to ftp,/email etc. When you go to search, search in motion or event.

That is a Chinese languages brand. couldn't find any firmwares on that one. I looked through all english firmwares on all Portal/FTP sites and no firmware. I highly doubt you will find an english one. Not impossible but will be hard to find.

What DVR do you have. There should be a setting in the configuration to where you would need to disable Dwell timing and set your live view in 2x2 mode.

You might want to manually restart it(UNPLUG THEN PLUG IN), it should come back up and then update the NVR with new firmware.

There is really no difference between all the ones that you have listed. The only difference is that on one you can add up to a 6MP Camera where i highly doubt anyone would put that high of a resolution on a small NVR because it would need high Bandwidth. So saying that, you might put the cameras at 4096 on main stream and 520+ on Sub stream and there for the 40mb on bandwidth would be good. So a DS-7608NI-SE/P is good enough but if you don't want to get the error message "NO ENOUGH BANDWIDTH" than i would go with DS-7616NI-SE/P so you can have excellent performance especially if you plan on do motion and what not.

I have tried numerous IP cameras. Yes. I just tested (DS-2CD2132-I) to make sure and works perfectly.

What is the DVR Brand.

How many Analog and IP are you trying to have on a Hybrid. I would go with the DS-9600 Series Hybrid DVR. You can find the most suitable one for you on this link then go find it online either at Amazon or any other online site. http://www.hikvision.com/en/products.asp?cid=21

I received the HD DVR with TVI cameras a few weeks ago and been testing before release, and honestly, it is amazing, i have Analog, TVI, IP all hooked up and the Quality of it is amazing. I also received the Dahua ones but i think HikVision beat them for the quality test. For the 1080P settings, i can confirm that it is only up to 12FPS but 720P is 30FPS. But i have had it set to 1080P at 12FPS, when i go to playback, it freaking actually looks as if it has recorded in 30FPS. But over all its great. I have not received the HD-TVI PTZ yet but will next week and let you guys no. but i have put an IP PTZ and works flawlessly. Also the IRs on the HD_TV are really amazing.

What is your email, and i will email you the files.

I would definitely go with a HikVision Camera. Here is one that would be suitable for you. This is the manufacture pdf with Specs... http://www.bkgrupe.lt/uploads/docs/_darbinis3/2CD2732.pdf You can search online for that product which is the DS-2CD2732F-I(S). You can search through Amazon, eBay etc. It should come supplied with a power adapter, just make sure you ask the seller to make sure it comes with one before purchasing. You can also put up to 64Gb SD Card in it.

I would go with a Parapet Mount from HikVision, its DS-1660ZJ. You just need to make sure the ptz bracket that screws onto it, is the same size.

Most of the cameras take up to 64GB SD Cards

If you have it on DHCP, that means the DVR will get any random IP Address, If you want to keep that same IP address and not loose it, than you need to uncheck DHCP and Make it Static where you enter all the Network information yourself so it doesn't go and fetch any IP the router gives it when it is restarted or an outage occurs, you might want to put a UPS on the DVR so it doesn't have issues when the power goes out and doesn't get surged. Also make sure you do IP Reservation in your router settings for that DVR. The email settings, I'm not sure what is going on there, but what is it doing exactly in the email settings.

Sounds like you need a real Enterprise Solution, not sure if you are streaming the cameras remotely or are they all connected through fiber together. How many cameras do you guys have total and how many operators do you have working on site. Also where are you located. How are your workstations that you are viewing these cameras on perform?

If you need the latest firmware or TFTP loader let me know and i will send them to you.

What firmware is on the NVR.
