nicke20 0 Posted March 24, 2015 Having purchased and built systems at work (mainly avamedia) i decided that at home, cctv is more usefull than an alarm system, not having the money for avermedia equipment i searched around. I wanted ip cameras as it made cabeling much easier as i had a large gigabit network round the house already. so I bought 7, 3 megapixlehikvision cameras (poe) and a ds-7616ni-se/p nvr, i added 2 2tb hard discs An afternoons cabeling and i had all cameras working on the same ip range as my home network 192.168.0.80 to 192.168.0.86 I gave the nvr a ipv4 address of 192.168.0.197 and my routers address of 192.168.0.50 as the gate way, all with subnet of 255.255.255.0 oh and a prefered dns server of 8.8.8.8 all seems to work, camers give great picture quality and it records. The gui for playback and search is a pig compared to my work aver kit but thats what you get for a cheap outlay. Now i downloaded an android app ivms 4500 and set it up to show my cams via wifi on my home network, success!! and this is where it all goes pear shaped, the so i thought simple task of the last step of seeing it on the phone via a web connection, so i log onto hikonline to register the device, it asks for device serial, device domain and http port no matter what i enter i always get "device does not exist" i played with this for hours, so i tried no-ip, when manualy entering the details onto the nvr i cant save the details getting invalid operation so i tried ezviz cloud psp from the app, scanning the barcode from the nvr box it comes up with the serial number but reports the device is offline!! am i cursed!! my router is an asus rt-n66u im fairly sure i have opened the ports 80, 554 and 8000 for tcp and udp and even told it that im using no-ip ddns still nothing ive searched the net, printed the entire user guide, but admit so far defeat can anybody point me to a guide, or tell me where i am going wrong?? sorry my first post is so newbie Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nicke20 0 Posted March 24, 2015 sods law strikes !! Ive got the ezviz working in the app, im sure that means i dont need the ddns but id love to know why it didnt work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted March 24, 2015 You did not set up DDNS on the NVR. And I do not know for what reason, but Hikvision allows you to configure either EZVIZ, or hik-online. Enabling one disables the other. So if your device came preconfigured for EZVIZ, it did not come with hik-online activated. Hik-online is very easy to use if you know how to do it, but you would have had to manually open the ports on your connection by hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nicke20 0 Posted March 25, 2015 is there any advantage of one over the other?, im sure ive opened the ports and im also sure i set up ddns on the hik it just didnt work anyway this forum looks like a great resource, im sure ill hang around a lot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted March 25, 2015 I would not call them "advantages", they are just different ways of operating. I prefer to have IP/ports forwarded and access my devices. But EZVIZ and P2P systems are fine for people that do not want/know how to set up their connections. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
