    No, it's not what I want. What do you suggest? Any specific resources to look at? It's pretty overwhelming out there!

    AmCrest + NAS on VPN

    Hey guys- Been reading a TON, doing lots of searches- but MAN I am confused. I hope someone can give me some insights... I have a new Netgear Nighthawk router (flashed with dd-wrt), Synology NAS, and a couple AmCrest IP Cameras. I want to setup a VPN so that I can login and see my IPCams from...

    How to Secure Amcrest HD IP Cams?

    OK- question... Let's say I do that- setup a VPN, put all IP Cams into a group and block all external traffic to/from. If I use BI on my cell phone, I assume I need to use the VPN so that I have the tunnel through the firewall. Is the OpenVPN like a wifi connection at that point, where I have...

    How to Secure Amcrest HD IP Cams?

    OK. I actually just installed a Netgear Nighthawk R7000 ac1900. It's working fine, and *I THINK* I got a VPN setup on it. I need to setup individual users like you suggested- but am a little confused on the overall purpose, especially when it comes to IP Cams? So, when I'm home, on my network...

    BI Demo Crashes every hour...

    Just installed BI as a Demo, got the cams up and running (HUGE shoutout to Fenderman for all the help!). Looks great, except- it crashes every hour. I'm not even sure how I go about diagnosing this? Windows 10 16gb Ram Merely running web browser for simple tasks. Is there an error log...

    BI & 2 Different IP Networks at the Same Time? Also iOS App?

    Re: BI & 2 Different IP Networks at the Same Time? Also iOS App? ok- deleted, and re-added new camera. Put in the IP of the NVR, selected brand/model of NVR. Password. Accepted all defaults in settings.- NOTHING. Went back did it all again, set to 8554 for the port (previous tried...

    What about discovery port #?

    BI & 2 Different IP Networks at the Same Time? Also iOS App?

    Still getting no signal. I thought it was the ports, but... in iVMS, it says the port is 8000. So I changed the Video port to 8000 as well as the other port setting to 8000- all options, nothing works. No signal. BUT- the error seems to be different now...

    OH! OK- so enter the NVR IP in the search box at the top?

    BI & 2 Different IP Networks at the Same Time? Also iOS App?

    OK- so, found the password to the NVR. But- the SADP tool ONLY shows the NVR, and not the cams connected to it. This is very odd...

    BI & 2 Different IP Networks at the Same Time? Also iOS App?

    Yeah, found that- but password recovery fails. It's very odd, since, I'm currently running iVMS with no problems. Grrrrr....

    BI & 2 Different IP Networks at the Same Time? Also iOS App?

    Yeah, I see it now. I see my NVR in the list- but it's still not giving the signal. I'm wondering if I don't have the correct password. Now I gotta figure how to find out the PW on those things- it's been a year since I set them up! LOL

    BI & 2 Different IP Networks at the Same Time? Also iOS App?

    I guess I'm confused. I go to 'Add Camera' by the little '+' symbol. I hit the Find/Inspect button... it shows a list of 2 indoor cams, and then my NVR. I put in the password, hit ok. Then it gives the No Signal error (makes sense, I only selected a NVR, not a camera). What am I missing...

    BI & 2 Different IP Networks at the Same Time? Also iOS App?

    Thanks for the reply. How exactly do I go about doing that? Is that a function from inside the NVR itself? Thanks again!

    BI & 2 Different IP Networks at the Same Time? Also iOS App?

    Yeah, sorry- wasn't sure since the outdoor cams are connected directly by POE to the DVR, while the indoor cams go right into my switch/router. I've installed it- it shows both my indoor AmCrest cams... and then the Hikvision DVR- but it doesn't show the cams connected to the DVR. Any ideas?

    How to Secure Amcrest HD IP Cams?

    DAMN. That is soo cool! So, I have V1, and I'm reading that it's pretty common to have very weak signal due to faulty hardware. That explains A LOT of my issues! I've had to piggyback a 2nd router off this one just to have merely 1-bar of signal in this house! So, I think I'm just going to pick...

    How to Secure Amcrest HD IP Cams?

    Awesome. I'm reading up on it all now. Just so I'm clear- all I need is to install DD-WRT, don't need a 2nd PC specifically for this network, or a 3rd party service, correct? Thanks a lot for all your help!

    How to Secure Amcrest HD IP Cams?

    Thanks for the reply. I guess my question is this: is running a router flashed with DD-WRT sub-par to a router that has its own VPN functionality native? Or, is flashing DD-WRT just as good? Thanks guys!

    How to Secure Amcrest HD IP Cams?

    ok, it appears as if my Netgear WNDR3700 only supports 3rd party VPN services. Is it BEST to just get a new Router that has its own VPN already built in? I want to avoid as many future potential problems and issues as possible... :) Can you recommend any? Thanks!

    How to Secure Amcrest HD IP Cams?

    passwords changed... I wanted to change the default login, but don't see where to do that. ;) I have a Netgear WNDR3700. I'm RTFM now and seeing how this all works- I'll post with more questions as they come up. Thanks for the help!

    How to Secure Amcrest HD IP Cams?

    I just got a couple cams hooked up in my kids' rooms, and want to make sure no creepers can spy on my cams. My wife just logged into the app away from home and could see the cameras just fine. What do I need to do to make sure all outside traffic is blocked, while allowing my wife & I to log in...

    BI & 2 Different IP Networks at the Same Time? Also iOS App?

    Hey guys! I have 2 different networks of cameras running, and wanted to see if BI can show all of them at the same time? I have an outdoor set of POE Cams (Hikvision) running into a DVR. The DVR IS plugging into my main/internet network, and I can see all cames from my Desktop Computer running...

    Camera suddenly stops working?

    So this is odd. I rebooted my computer AGAIN today- right before I went to power cycle the camera- and now it's working! I had re-booted a few times prior, with no go... but now it's working??? Not complaining, just thought that it's a little weird. Thanks for the help tho!

    Camera suddenly stops working?

    Hey guys- Have a Hikvision Dome Camera. It's been setup and working great for about 8mo now. All of a sudden, I get a black screen and this error in iVMS-4200: Live View Failed. Error Code 24. The Channel is unavailable. All my other cameras are working and functioning fine. I've searched...

    Hikvision IE Plugin Not Working with Windows 10

    Just upgraded to Windows 10. I can't get access to my Hikvision NVR. It tells me I need to install the plugin, which I do... reboot- and it won't let me access- just keeps telling me I need to install the Plugin. I've tried IE, Chrome - neither work. Any ideas? Thanks guys!
