Sorted Had to install HIK-CONNECT app on the phone Cheers

I have a Hikvision DVR with 9 channels DS7208 Also have iVMS-4500 installed on my Samsung phone When connected to the same WiFi at home as the DVR is connected, I can get the images on the phone When away on a different WiFi network, I get nothing I am sure I have had it working in the past Any ideas ? Thanks

I used this at the camera end

I used a separate 12v power supply at the camera end to no avail So it has to be the coax ? We had a nightmare running the coax 140m through ducting, attics, roofs of buildings, between telegraph poles to get it where it is ! Laying a cat5 similarly is daunting ! OK, There is wireless internet at the camera end (not same wireless that is near the Hikvision box in our house) Could I obtain a wireless camera and then somehow tell the Hikvision box to communicate with it..... ?

Yes in Devon To be fair, we have a camera on FURTHER 50 m than the camera I am on about, and the image is dodgy, but works Have tried a separate 12v ps in the camera, and still no joy - measuring 12v when plugged in Also tried a separate camera with the same connections and no good. Got to be the coax ? This is what I did initially : "Latterly have disconnected both ends of the video cable - then joined the earth braid and live together at one end Went to the other end and used an ohms meter to check the reading over approx 280m (2x140m) - by one probe on the signal centre and another probe on the earth braid- it was 15 ohms" Is that good or bad ??

It is from a box of multiple power outlets Have a look at the pic

Coax is running camera feed. Other part of the cable is the 12v feed. Used to work fine, but am worried the cable has broken down.... Don't think there are any resistors in the connectors.

Not sure what planet you are on, or what you are smoking... What's the point in half quoting my initial query and then messing it up ?? Anyway, anybody got an answer for my original question from March 5th ???

Thanks Having trouble finding the device though in app I assume the phone has to be connected wirelessly to the device via its own wireless signal first.... Is there any manual ?

Found this in a cupboard with no instructions Anybody got info or link about it ? Thanks

Oops Just seen this reply.... 12v is to power the camera BNC connection for video. Has worked ok for a few years. It takes the signal back to a cctv recorder - Hikvision Am wondering if the analogue cable is breaking down.

Thanks The run is about 460ft It worked ok before It isn't 920ft - I joined the earth braid and the centre copper wires together at one end - so that when I go to the OTHER end and put a probe on the copper and the other probe on the earth braid - the signal has to travel 960ft (2x460ft) to get back to the other probe - this is 15ohms Just to see if there is a break in the cable Is 15ohms ok ? I can measure 12v ok at the camera end

I have a long stretch of monitor cable - probably 140 metres (2 sections - centre signal with earth braid - and also 12v positive and negative) No signal is getting through to the monitor It used to work Cable has been up 10+ years Have tried various modalities like cleaning contacts Latterly have disconnected both ends of the video cable - then joined the earth braid and live together at one end Went to the other end and used an ohms meter to check the reading over approx 280m (2x140m) - by one probe on the signal centre and another probe on the earth braid- it was 15 ohms Now, is that what you would expect over that run of cable ? Thanks
