Bump

Because I cant find it at all on a network, Swann tech support where no help at all, I phoned and asked for the login ip address user name and password and was basically told NO So how do I access it? At home I use a Hikvision ds 7616NI-SE/P great bit of cheap kit

Last year we sent a member of staff to get a stand alone ip camera that we could access over our network (needed in a hurry) he came back with a swann NHD-819 as recommended in the local maplin. I never got round to using it till now, and its crippled by its firmware i assume, it will only work with a certain swann nvr??? Is there any way to use this camera either on a network or with hikvision nvr or is it a paper weight?

ouch

is there any advantage of one over the other?, im sure ive opened the ports and im also sure i set up ddns on the hik it just didnt work anyway this forum looks like a great resource, im sure ill hang around a lot

sods law strikes !! Ive got the ezviz working in the app, im sure that means i dont need the ddns but id love to know why it didnt work?

Having purchased and built systems at work (mainly avamedia) i decided that at home, cctv is more usefull than an alarm system, not having the money for avermedia equipment i searched around. I wanted ip cameras as it made cabeling much easier as i had a large gigabit network round the house already. so I bought 7, 3 megapixlehikvision cameras (poe) and a ds-7616ni-se/p nvr, i added 2 2tb hard discs An afternoons cabeling and i had all cameras working on the same ip range as my home network 192.168.0.80 to 192.168.0.86 I gave the nvr a ipv4 address of 192.168.0.197 and my routers address of 192.168.0.50 as the gate way, all with subnet of 255.255.255.0 oh and a prefered dns server of 8.8.8.8 all seems to work, camers give great picture quality and it records. The gui for playback and search is a pig compared to my work aver kit but thats what you get for a cheap outlay. Now i downloaded an android app ivms 4500 and set it up to show my cams via wifi on my home network, success!! and this is where it all goes pear shaped, the so i thought simple task of the last step of seeing it on the phone via a web connection, so i log onto hikonline to register the device, it asks for device serial, device domain and http port no matter what i enter i always get "device does not exist" i played with this for hours, so i tried no-ip, when manualy entering the details onto the nvr i cant save the details getting invalid operation so i tried ezviz cloud psp from the app, scanning the barcode from the nvr box it comes up with the serial number but reports the device is offline!! am i cursed!! my router is an asus rt-n66u im fairly sure i have opened the ports 80, 554 and 8000 for tcp and udp and even told it that im using no-ip ddns still nothing ive searched the net, printed the entire user guide, but admit so far defeat can anybody point me to a guide, or tell me where i am going wrong?? sorry my first post is so newbie Nick
