    Why isn't my camera showing after adding to the ivms-4200 client?

    [Resolved] Recently all 4 of my outdoor camera had a IP reset, to a different segment than my home network gateway. Of course they are all offline from my monitor. Now, at the same time, I upgrade my PC and now it is Windows 10. I use SADP to modify all IPs back to match the gateway. Using...

    After construction, 1 of the 4 cams stopped connecting externally

    Update: I unplugged the power, all 4 Ethernet cables from the switch, rotated them so each got a different port, plugged power back in. Now it worked.

    I have 4 DS-2CD2232 outdoor cameras. They are connected via Ethernet cable through PoE switch. They worked fine for a year until last week, my AC broke so the workers unplugged the switch so they could get around to do the work near by. After the work was done, I plugged the switch back to...

    One of my wireless cameras keeps changing its IP address, what to do?

    I keep losing the video on this camera. The next thing I see is at the device list on iVMS-4200, the one added to the client is not connect, and there's a new one detected at the bottom. When I add the new one, it's usually problematic. Any idea how I can make it not change?

    What happened to my gmail notifications?

    It is resolved. Nothing was changed, I just updated the ivms-4200 from version 2.4 to 2.5. I received email afterwards. I am not sure if that's what fixed it. I don't like unknowns. Hikvision provides next to nothing support, but the cameras are of good quality.

    How do I set up port forward for the cameras on router ARRIS TG1672-G?

    This router is so different from the Verizon. On VZ I could see that port 8000 forwarded to 4xxxx, etc, but there is no display whatsoever on ARRIS. Then there is 'add server', 'port trigger', with repeating the same in and out ports. Please help.

    The manufacture default for Hikvision cameras are 12345, but sometimes the seller changed them while configuring languages, usually they make it to abc12345, 12345abc, 123456789abc, or 123456789ABC. If you bought it from an authorized dealer, please call Hikvision the company for support. They...

    Right now I have the sensitivity set to 100%. I get email almost every 2 minutes for the outdoor - bird shadows, bees, etc. What sensitivity should it be set to only detect motions from only for those we need to be alarmed for?

    Cannot add device to iVMS-4500 client

    I deleted some other cameras from the client and could not add them back. Then when I restarted ivm-4200 it says port 80 was taken by ngnix.exe. I uninstalled and reinstalled ivms-4200 and now it worked.
