    Cellular Modem for remote access to NVR

    The modem itself is going to be the least of your concerns. Verizon Wireless does not grant any customer public-facing WAN addresses direct to device when using LTE service - everything is NAT'd behind a firewall on the cellular network (beyond the reach of CPE devices such as your modem/cell...

    cameras on multiple buildings on property

    If you can afford fiber that is the way to go. It's marginally more expensive than copper, but much more reliable. Plus, since it's glass, takes the whole grounding/shielding thing out of the equation. At least for your trunk lines running to each remote location. Assuming fiber to be out of...

    DS-2CD2035-I compatible NVRs

    Either a DS-7716NI-E4/A or a DS-7616NI-E2/A. The former has 4 HDDs and is 1.5U tall while the latter is a 1U recorder much like the 8 channel recorders. The /A is indicative of the lack of a PoE switch and lack of a built in power supply (it's external). All of your cameras run over the main...

    DS-2CD2035-I compatible NVRs

    Those are effectively the same camera model. The body is different, the firmware is slightly different, but they're both 3MP bullet cameras of the same caliber. When it comes to recorders I highly recommend purchasing the US version. It's perfectly fine to let your camera firmware rot because...

    NVR firmware V3.4.6 build160405 released.

    That's true. There's many instances where from the public eye it's as if they're engineering the restrictions, and the feature set is simply a byproduct. But why you can't make n million different subversions (who cares how high the number goes) to differentiate them is beyond me. It has been...

    NVR firmware V3.4.6 build160405 released.

    They haven't really done all that well with versioning on anything except major releases. Look at the firmware for the 7600 SE series. There's 3 versions of 3.0.15. The only differentiation is the build date. Who does this Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    NVR firmware V3.4.6 build160405 released.

    3.0.6.1 was the same version for 3.4.6 I believe. At any rate, no chrome/PPAPI support, so makes no difference. Works fine otherwise though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DS-7604NI-E1/4P Help

    Perhaps the 7800s are different, but in countless cases I've tried the standard TFTP method with 7600 and 7700 models with no luck. Similar errors as to what he posted. You're right though, serial is much more reliable.

    DS-7604NI-E1/4P Help

    The NVR is going to reject the firmware if it's wrong typically. I've had this happen on many occasions and it has saved me. Back with early versions of 3.x.x, (pre-3.3.x) upgrading to later versions of 3.x.x (3.3.x+) would cause the NVR to scramble up the login information. On 7700s, the...

    DS-7604NI-E1/4P Help

    Is your NVR inaccessible? Why exactly are you using TFTP? Upgrades should be done through the web interface, or copying digicap.dav to a flash drive and performed directly on the NVR from the maintenance menu. TFTP is generally for recovery/last ditch effort/OMG HALP! Scenarios. Sent from my...

    DS-7604NI-E1/4P Help

    That is not always the case. There are times where even changing the NIC's IP to 192.0.0.128, the TFTP updater visibly does not change the address its allegedly listening on, (it's also capable of listening on multiple NICs) yet it really is listening on 192.0.0.128. Even with that being the...

    iVMS 4200 Client Software on Windows 10

    The changes you suggest are typically handled at the developer level and is not something the end user can change. If I had to guess, the network scanning tool built in (show online devices, equivalent to the standalone SADP program) is the culprit. Probing the network to identify other devices...

    iVMS 4200 Client Software on Windows 10

    iVMS requests/requires administrative privileges to work properly. There is no way to make exception rules for which programs must abide by UAC and which ones can't. (That would be a security risk) You must either have UAC On or off. You can try to adjust the slider lower and see if that program...

    DS-7716NI-SP/16 users and iVMS-4200

    The iVMS user account is a local account used to access the controls of iVMS/the whole software interface. You are correct, it has nothing to do with the NVR's users. When you are adding a device to iVMS, that is when you will enter the NVR credentials. That initial login can be anything. I...

    NVR firmware V3.4.6 build160405 released.

    The sync IPC password feature I believe was implemented awhile ago when they introduced device Activation. The premise behind that being for the plug n play users, with cameras that are deactivated (no password), when connected to the NVR, something needs to set a password for those. By hand you...

    How to view my DS-2CD2332-I on my Mac remotely?

    PRETTY! Yes, I was anticipating a nice pretty picture to counter my picture of floating algae. That looks incredible. Shoot the noise reduction all the way up, enable smart IR, and maybe enable WDR if bright sun causes your patio area to become extremely dark. Otherwise, just try to keep it...

    How to view my DS-2CD2332-I on my Mac remotely?

    HINT: Look at your dock. Stick with a Hikvision NVR and keep things simple. Blue Iris is a good PC NVR software, but I have no experience with that and depending on how involved you want to get, an embedded NVR is quicker and cheaper. BI would offer more in features but I personally don't have...

    How to view my DS-2CD2332-I on my Mac remotely?

    Once you install the plugin, simply open the camera in safari or Firefox. However you've only forwarded port 8000 which is Hikvision's control port, you'll also need to forward port 80 (web GUI) and port 554 (RTSP) for that to work. Once that is done, enter the camera IP/address into the browser...

    How to view my DS-2CD2332-I on my Mac remotely?

    That is the correct software, but it's a bit finicky and I really only use it for the SADP feature. (No retina support either) On paper it only supports Yosemite, but does work fine in El Capitan. I prefer to use the WebComponents plugin with Firefox/Safari (does not work with chrome). That can...
