Any luck getting the Divar to work on your iPhone?

 

Unfortunately not...

 

I am sure there are more people out there who have the same problem... I hope one of them has a solution...

 

I think the problem is to get ActiveX working on the iPhone...

In answer to viewing the Bosch Divar 2 via your iPhone, or any other smart phone app, no this is not possible.

 

You are correct, Active X is a Microsoft product and is not supported by Apple (these companies share nothing). You need a product that supports RTSP protocols. This is a video streaming application that most smart phones do support. Unfortunately for you, when you purchased the Divar 2 unit, smart phone apps were not available and thus you can not get this product to do what you are after. Bosch has moved along and no longer supports the Divar 2 products, so there is no Firmware or Software upgrades that will give you what you are after.

 

However, there are alternative solutions out there that allow video streaming on any product. I do not know what it is call but most IP companies should know of it. This product is a loop in/loop out product, therefore you will be looking at your analogue cameras directly over the network and not at the DVR. Alternatively, Bosch and others do now sell a various array of new products capable of achieving your desired outcome. As they say, my '67 Mustang doesn't have power steering...You need to buy, to upgrade.

 

Hope this helps.....

If you want to use your IPhone chose a different manufacturer than Bosch. To this day they still don't support IPhone with any of their dvr's. Don't you know IPhones are just a fad? Why change the same software platforms you have been using for years just for a passing fad?

If it were me, I'd replace the Analogue DVR. New warranty period, most are relatively inexpensive and far more powerful than the current unit that you have.

 

Great idea going with the Encoders (especially if you can get them with the micro SD cards for recordings), but can be an expensive process getting to 4 or more cameras.

 

As far as Bosch DVR's not supporting iPhone Apps, not entirely true.

Thx. but this is no option for me...

 

I found "IP Cam Viewer Pro" in the App-Store...

Will contact developer "NibblesnBits" - Robert Chou...

Hi

 

One of possible ways to resolve your problem is:

1) Connect the DVR to computer with Windows operation system

2) Setup a Bosch Control Center software and run

3) Setup a Parallels (or similar) software for remote management from App Store

 

After, you will receive a stream from your Windows desktop (including video stream from Bosch DVR) to your iPhone.

Thx. imya86 for your help. That is exactly what i was doing in the past... I used vnc or teamviewer to connect iphone to windows pc. Unfortunately the windows pc has to run all the time to connect to it. I haven't found any decent wake on lan service so far to get around the problem...

 

Thx. again
