    Digital zoom with video?

    I got it working using my touchpad eventually but by bringing 2 fingers together instead of spreading them apart. That works for me with my mouse less setup. I click on the area of interest and then bring 2 fingers together and boom I was zooming in.

    Digital zoom with video?

    thanks Looney but it was just a specific that someone would either know or not in avoidance of burrowing for a while but thanks for your input. @wittaj: i didn't have any luck with clicking the pointer and trying to evoke a zoom with my keyboard with touchpad without having a mouse or using...

    Digital zoom with video?

    yeah that would work but I wondered can you select a small area (like draw a rectangle). With scrolling in guess it would be the middle of the image just getting larger and not a targeted area like i'm shooting for, if i've understood you right. Re' the tablet i see what you mean but am not...

    Digital zoom with video?

    I've been using BI for about a month now and it seems (for me) to handle Motion detection far better than my native Hik software (and IVM4200) ever did wiht my 2 cams. . It seems I can catch a lot more if not virtually everything and at whatever speed. I use it outside my home with my my ANPR...

    Post camera motion detiection?

    Thanks for the input guys, for £50/$63 i think i'll take a punt probably. I have read about BI's success and otherwise regarding motion detection and it has a bundle of other functions i may use too. The built in server and accessing this with my mobile is a big tick. Problem wise for me it's...

    Post camera motion detiection?

    Blue Iris looks pretty good but I guess that means i'd have a PC running 24/7 which is something i'd have to consider. So am i right in thinking Blue iris would take my camera feeds (or streams) and be able to offer better motion detection than my cameras and their native software/hardware...

    Post camera motion detiection?

    Hi, I use 2 ANPR Cams to monitor my busy road and eventually realised what they missed (due to motion detection not activating if the subject moved too fast) was often more than they were capturing so I moved over to Continuous recording. Now with everything being captured I of course have to...

    IVM4200 and recording to my PC (no NVR)

    thanks Witaj and Revo for both of your responses. I had a look at NAS info with the aim of recording to my pc but didn't come away from it feeling i'd grasped it though it looks possible for me maybe. I have several SS Hard Drives to use if i could make that happen. I know that each cam with...

    IVM4200 and recording to my PC (no NVR)

    Hi, I'm still fairly new to IP cams and couldn't find an answer searching on my question so wondered if someone could tell me if it's possible to record the continuous output of my 2 ipcams onto my PC using HIkvisioniVM4200 or not? . i have SD cards in both my ip cam and want to leave them...

    trouble adding 2nd local cam to ivm4200

    I'm having trouble adding a 2nd ipcam to ivm4200 despit having them both on a few weeks ago, i can view both independently on browsers using local ip address but only one of them is accepted after finding them online within ivm4200. There is a message (also in pic) that says 'OEM device...

    Using iVMS-4200 to remotely connect into my home network?

    thanks for the responses, my question was really aimed at someone who might be using iVMS-4200 for help but thanks for re-iterating those things. I apreciate the link to iVMS-4200 by the way. It can be a bit of a maze at times!

    Using iVMS-4200 to remotely connect into my home network?

    Hi, thanks for reading my post. From my home i run x2 ANPR cams without any nvr or dvr and view them on my browser locally so my 2cam setup is as simple as that. It all works satisfactory on 3 setups either using HIK Connect (on phone) or the iVMS-4200 software or as mentioned just using my...

    Accessing my ip cams remotely without nvr/dvr

    ok thanks. I think i need to find some info on exactly how to use IVMS4200 outside of my home as i'm running before i can walk with it probably. It's all very well using on my home network but I need to get out and try and connect into my home network and work out how to do that step by step.

    Accessing my ip cams remotely without nvr/dvr

    ok thanks, thats understood re' the VPN with the tunnelling back into my home network and the security it offers. I'll assume i shouldn't need an NVR as i dont currently use one for local access to my cams. Can I ask would the VPN part of the setup give me a 'fixed' home network address (or...

    Accessing my ip cams remotely without nvr/dvr

    Another thought was can I use Hik vision iVMS-4200 software to give me remote access to my cams (no nvr) or would i need an nvr to let me into my home network? . I've got both cams and this program running locally at home but have not been able to get out of the house and try it off my wi-fi...
