    IVMS-4500 Some Cam's Missing?

    Interesting... Hitrting the NVR locally it goes straight to the NVR login but when I hit the DNS url, it takes me to the one camera login I can see on the app. It seems something happened somewhere with DNS settings, I guess? I can't see anything different in the network setup, though. DDNS is...

    IVMS-4500 Some Cam's Missing?

    I've had this setup running for over 6 months now. It's non branded Hikvision equipment so I am not entirely sure what the model equivalent would be, but I can find that out if need be. Anyways, I was out of town for the pat week and everything has been fine w/ the app. Had a storm and lost...

    HIK 7608-NI-E2 no live view for main stream

    Yup, no worries. My thought process is while you and I cannot see that 3mp or 4mp in your case resolution on our monitors it should in theory give you a better image when you start to break down the zoom, if you need to use it. Where as, a 2mp (1080p) is probably going to start getting...

    HIK 7608-NI-E2 no live view for main stream

    Yeah... I really don't know. Can't seem to wrap my head around it and while it's not my main thing I do for a living I do in fact do some IP Camera work in my daily job. Most of what I do is Commercial/Industrial Fire Alarm work but my job ranges from that to Burglar Alarm, CCTV, Nurse Call, and...

    HIK 7608-NI-E2 no live view for main stream

    Seems crazy to me to run a 4mp camera at 2mp. Idk.. I do think that's a by product of motion sensitivity. I upped it a bit and the issue of people appearing in the middle of the screen got better. It dawned on me that is what it was when I noticed everytime that happened the person was in the...

    HIK 7608-NI-E2 no live view for main stream

    Back again! So, dropping the iFrame to 5 did indeed allow me to view the live view but what I have found over the last couple days is that there seems to be pauses and studders in the playback. For example someone will just appear in the middle of the field of view of the camera walking down...

    Main Stream vs Main Stream Event

    If I am doing motion recording only which setting would pertain to me, Main Stream Event? Main Stream would only determine what I see on Live View w/ Main Stream instead of Sub Stream if I am not doing 24/7 Recording?

    Thanks for the response, Carcus.

    Looking for a Nvr

    Agreed. This camera is on a porch that cannot see the street, though. Little to no movement. Went all night last w/ only 2 motion triggered events which were bugs or something flying in front of the lens.

    HIK 7608-NI-E2 no live view for main stream

    I have 3 more cameras to hang outside also. I am probably going to try to do one of them today. It's not the same model but is essentially just the bullet version of the dome that is on the porch. Will see how it reacts. I have to pull the cable for the last 2 so maybe next weekend. I'll pop...

    HIK 7608-NI-E2 no live view for main stream

    Very interesting... I dropped the iFrame to 5 like you said yours is and put the bitrate to 7480 - pops right up.. Hmm..

    Looking for a Nvr

    Have you noticed if your issue is only w/ outside cameras? Have you tried swapping the cameras to night mode and seeing if the problem continues? It doesn't really help alot in figuring this out but I am having the same issue but it is ONLY my camera outside on the front porch. The camera inside...

    Main Stream vs Main Stream Event

    Quick question on this.. Googling kinda didn't get me anywhere. What's the difference? I am assuming the event setting would be what it records the event to the HDD as when there is an event (such as motion triggering) and the normal main stream is what you would see when looking at the image...

    HIK 7608-NI-E2 no live view for main stream

    Yeah, I matched em up 10 and 10 and anything over 5000 bitrate starts acting up. I can get it to stay solid @ 4800.. Hmmm... That is to say that changing the iFrame and FPS to be lower and match did help, though. Previously I couldn't get anything over 3000 to pop up. Course as mentioned...

    Nevermind, I found it on the config page for the camera itself.
