How to view video from Hikvision 7204 on a cellphone

[CHOPRAMO 0]

Hi......... i have recently installed a few Hikvision 4 channel (7204) Stanalone DVRs for a few of my clients.

 

Can anyone tell me how to view the video from the DVR on a mobile phone. I am able to view these DVRs on the net using a computer.

 

I have a Nokia E SERIES phone

Hey Burstelement thanks for your help.

 

I believe that the software is not compatible with the Nokia E series phone,coz the camera only opens for a fraction of a second and then the screen becomes blank.

 

Could you tell me what the problem could be?

 

Even if you don't know, i am still extremely grateful for your help.

Hello Burst Element!

 

Glad to see you back! How long has it been? Since Dec?

have now tried viewing more than one DVR from the software suggested by Burstelement.

 

My phone is an E-71 Nokia.

 

The camera image appears for a fraction of a second and then the screen goes dark and you cannot see anything. Can anyone suggest a way out of this problem??

I am not sure of the problem. It may be that you might have to upgrade your connection with your cell phone company so that you can stream constantly. Connection to a webpage, and to a DVR may require different plans. I truely do not know, but give them a call.

 

Find out what it would take to connect your phone to a laptop, and to give the laptop an internet connection via your cellphone. This might allow you to connect to your DVR.

Although I have never connected via a Cell Phone, it is my understanding that you may have to connect via the sub stream of the DVR.

 

Again, I have never attempted this. I would assume, depending upon the frame rate the DVR is set to, it may be too much for the cell network to handle.

 

I hope this helps ?????

Thank you both Scorpion and Shoreview.

 

a few facts: -

 

i. I can easily connect to the Avtech DVRs that i have installed using "Eagle Eyes" software on my Nokia E-71.

 

ii. I can connect to the Avtech DVRs from my Macbook using my mobile phone as a modem.

 

iii. Hikvision DVRs cannot be accessed from my Mac.

 

I don't think streaming video is a problem for the mobile phone to handle as it shows the images from the Avtech DVR in excellent detail.

 

Any ideas????

I find it curious that you can see AVTech DVRs with a Macbook. What kind of browser are you using on the Macbook?

 

 

Are you using the browser to view the DVR?

I would have thought you would need to use Active X.

 

Thanks,

Dear Scorpion,

 

I view both the 760 and 761 Avtech DVRs on the Safari browser on my Macbook.

no its all in java and java script now .. i can watch it in firefox.

had to download and install java though which sucks, might as well just download a decent client app one time and stay clear of the browser.

i cant believe avtech havent fixed their video quality yet though, its horid on the network.

Well, to watch an Avtech 760 or 761, i just open the mac browser i.e. Safari and log on to the DVR static IP. The dvr opens in QuickTime and is very clear.

 

I don't use Firefox or any other browser.

 

My problem with the Hikvision DVR to be viewed on a cell phone remains unresolved.
