I AGREE!! its not work if you enjoy doing it #ilovemyjobtoo

you have to convert the files to AVI and play in a newer version of windows (the older versions dont support the AVI codex) most CMS software (you install on your computer) can view local H.264 files and then backup into AVI. If you send me a private message i can forward you a copy of basic CMS software.

are you using another DDNS now? if your public IP is dynamic (everyone is defaulted with dynamic IPs unless you pay for a static) if it is dynamic you HAVE to have DDNS or you will have to go to canyouseeme.org to verify your new address every time it changes.

" title="Applause" /> " title="Applause" /> " title="Applause" /> yeah!! I would delete the old address

The thing about TVI is that it is a wired system, so your connection will be more stable. You can also run the cable MUCH furthur than you can IP (TVI runs to 1000', while IP RJ45 will do about 328' without a Balun). As far as resolution, they both should be about the same... but the IP system is reliant on the network stability, so if the network is unstable or has low bandwidth, it will cause latency and if it goes down, well.. no more cameras! one good thing about IP is that if it is POE, you only have to run one RJ45 cable for audio/video and power so it more cost effective to run than coax/18-2

ok, go out of the menus and then right click once and go to 'Guide' (hopefully your NVR is the same) then you will click through the menus until you get a list of IP address (Manual mode for mode selection). The bottom box will have the all the cameras which are connected to the NVR. The list should say connected on all but the 1080P, so click on that iP address and wait for a few seconds... make sure it says admin under username and is there a password on the camera? if so, you will need to update that.

i see. check your channel set up.. go to the main menu and there should be an icon for channel set up

is this an analog DVR? and you have 3 analog cameras and one IP camera? the IP camera will not work with analog. Did you say you did have it working? this must be a hybrid system if so... you need to check the channels. Can you please send me a shot of the settings menu? youre welcome BTW

the first column is for your main stream, that is for local viewing so you can set that at the highest resolution of the camera (960P,1080P), your Frame interval (FPS) should be 20/25, and the quality can be 'better' or 'higher' (whichever one your system uses). The second column is for your substream/extra stream. It should be D1 or CIF.. never QCIF. D1 is the best for that one. And the frame interval would be 10

To imagine that a CCTV installer has nothing better to occupy his time than to spy on a client's activities, is ridiculous, Most installers retain the admin account to benefit and protect their clients from disaster. However any engineer should return control to you on request so that MIGHT be cause for concern. Change your IP address to a dynamic as has been suggested and get a DDNS account of your own then NOBODY can checkup on your IP address and view your CCTV remotely Buy a new DVR and get a trustworthy installer to set up a DDNS account for you. Some brands come with a FREE DDNS service one such manufacturer is Hikvision Good luck, don't have nightmares......... Go to No-ip.com and you can easily get a free DDNS... you do have to log in once a month to keep it active, but its totally free. If you know who the manufacturer of the DVR is, you should try calling tech support and ask them how to reset the password.. some are as easy as pushing an arrow on the front panel up 10x's! (or,a factory reset works on some). You definitely need to report this guy though, thats no better than looking through peoples windows! If hes doing it to you I'm sure hes doing that to everyone and that is definitely criminal. Good luck

Try finding the 'encode' settings and change substream (or extra stream) to D1, then Frames Per Second to 10/15, this will lower the data rate.. and make sure your bit rate is Variable (or VBR). Hope this helps!

it sounds like there is too much data trying to come through on the IP camera so it is not connecting, especially if the IP is 1080P, ... make sure you are viewing in 'sub steam' and the encode settings for sub stream is set up for D1 or lower, you may also change the FPS to 10/15 to lower the bandwidth .. also, is this a hybrid DVR? if it is then you need to make sure it is configured correctly. If it is not then the IP camera is not compatible.

You can actually set up a DDNS URL (for dynamic IP address), port forward the IP address of the camera/NVR and view outside of the network that way (inside the network simply put the camera/NVR address in the browser to view) OR every IP camera and NVR have a serial number (same concept as a MAC address) you can view the system with the serial number if you have a smartphone app or CMS software (if you send me a private message I can forward you a copy of basic CMS software)

You are correct that the direct IP connection with DDNS/port forwarding is the best way to connect, but sometimes in more complex networks that is not always an option. P2P is basically the same thing as DDNS, it provides the connection... some manufacturers also include a file transfer server to the P2P server so that if the stream is not stable, you can simply go to the cloud server and access it there (it is also useful for saving/backup). If the server is in another country (like China) the stream will be effected... but if the server is here in the States, you will actually get better connection and stability. The greater number of users actually help make the stream MORE stable (it is Peer to Peer so you are building connection) but if it is going to China, you will suffer greater latency.

The register ID option is if you have a FTP cloud account. Every IP camera/NVR has a unique serial number (like the MAC address) that you can simply put in the app/CMS software with the username and password and connect without needing port forwarding or DDNS for remote access. They also all have an IP address, which is normally dynamic (so it can be changed by the NVR to match the network) for local access. To access the stream remotely by the IP address, then you are required to port forward and set up a DDNS URL (DDNS is to monitor your dynamic public IP so when it changes you dont have to keep up with the new IP address) if the manufacturer is using a P2P server (peer to peer), that is basically for connection like DDNS... only it does not require port forwarding. If the P2P server is also set up as a file transfer server, the data stream will go to the server before going to the device/PC ... if it is only a P2P server, it will go directly from the camera/NVR to the device/PC (this is only for remote viewing)

A basic P2P server is for connecting, like DDNS. But, some companies go a step further and add a video transfer server to the P2P server which is necessary in some more complex networks that cant build the P2P connection directly. In the P2P/Video transfer server, the video is sent to the cloud first, then accessed by the phone/PC... giving a more stable feed. This does however require more bandwidth on the server side... every channel video bit rate is about 2Mb/s

try port 587

Changing the port will not work... you need to delete all the user accounts, keep the admin account and change the password. Port information is not what is used for access, it is the user account and password that is used. Simply change the password
