ok, just saw your edit ...thanks I'm going to try setting up DNS on the router, but unsure if it will carry through as its being used as an access point only in WAN bypass mode. (all DHCP done by Netcomm Modem)

Thats where I am stuck now,, and I presume thats where I will be stuck at even after setting up VPN server. So I want to sort this problem first and then look at VPN after that.

Are you saying that if I run a VPN server, I wouldn't need DNS ? I do understand your efforts in warning people about the pitfalls of port forwards. Setting up VPN is for another day. My modem (Netcomm NF7) doesn't support VPN tunneling, but I do have another Asus RT-AC86U router in WAN Bypass...

Hi all I have a Hikvision NVR DS-7616NI-E2/8P and 8 x Hikvision cameras, all from Aliexpress . I had Hikvision DNS setup for 6 years and everything was working fine via the iVMS 4500 app. After Hikvision turned their DNS off, I set up an account at noip.com Now, I have since tried every...

Port forwarding has already been set up from HikDDNS days when it used to work flawlessly

OK, logged in to NVR and entered details via connected monitor & mouse This is the screen I am presented with and enter al the details: I enter the IPv4 address, my domain, username and password. As soon as I hit Save, the below happens.... Server Address field gets changed to...

Yeah I suppose, you will never know if it is an original English version, or hacked unit. Better exhaust other options, before attempting this ... Part of me actually wants to update it, and see what happens .. :winktongue:

Tried it in Edge. Didn't work. same problem - doesnt save the credentials in Network tab. Tried to install IE11, and it wouldn't install because "a more recent version of IE is already installed on your computer" Going to access the NVR now and enter details directly... will update on how it...

Bummer ! With regards to upgrading: My NVR is from Aliexpress. Looking at the details in original post, would you know if there is a English language firmware available for this model of NVR ? If it can be safely upgraded, I might attempt that

I am at my wit's end. So I signed up to no-ip.com, and got a hostname. I enter 192.168.1.9, access the Configuration page for NVR. Navigate to Configuration > Network > Basic settings Input the domain, username, hostname and password details in where reqd. When I save it, message comes "Save...

Hi all Since Hikvision have discontinued their iVMS-4500 app, along with the HiDDNS service, I am at a loss on how to access my cameras remotely after this. I purchased my Hik cameras & NVR from Aliexpress. Model: DS-7616NI-E2/8P NVR serial is: 1620150616AARRxxxxxxxxxWCVU Firmware Version...

Pretty much this .... :thumb::p

Hi I recently installed the ismartgate garage door opener (ismartgate.com). It lets you open or close the garage door via their app. I could also do it remotely. I can also use my IP camera already installed in garage to view the live feed of garage door within the ismartgate app. Or when I...

Thanks for your replies alastairstevenson. I got a updated XML file back from Hikvision. Run it through SADP, changed password, refreshed SADP, and all good to go. ! Now looking at upgrading firmware, so I can have the question/answer format in case I forget password !
