Hello I have a basic question, I can't seem to get a definite answer on the internet any help would be great ! First here is my system......... I am using 6 Wired Hikvision cameras, No IP cameras Hikvision Embedded net DVR, DS-7208QHI-F1\N. Firmware V3.4.80 Build 161028 I am using the Client software to view my cameras from my work place on Windows 10, Client version V2.7.0.10 which works fine, apart from the odd crash I am using IVMS 4500 lite to view from my Iphone, which works fine Here is my question.... Do I need to Forward Ports from inside my home Internet Router specifically HTTP port 80 ? Or is this just for IP Cameras ? I just cant get an answer from the Web, One that i understand anyway Thank you for reading this

Hello Forum, and Thank You for reading this. I have just bought and Installed this HIKVision DVR with 5 Cameras DS-7208HQHI-F1/N. I have 2 Monitors, One has an HDMI Input but it is my Main Computer, I would like to connected the DVR HDMI Input into my other Computer BUT it only has a Display port Input, I bought an HDMI To Displayport adapter, But it did not work (No Picture) I have now learned that I would need an Active or Maybe a passive adapter ??? I have been reading loads of stuff but still cant get a defenate awnser as to what exeactly the kind of adapter that would work. I have looked on Amazon but its all pretty confusing My Dell Monitor is a Dell UltraSharp U2412M Any help would be greatly appreciated as to what type of adapter that would go from an HDMI Output (Video source) to a Displayport Input (Monitor) Thank you Gavin
