Thank you. I was able to define an area within 100' and now I'm getting consistent nighttime plate captures. Angles are not bothering captures as much as I thought they would.

I'm having a hard time getting consistent plate captures. I'm on an outside corner, and if I try to set capture area too close, I get extreme angles. If I set range farther out (150'), angle is good, but seems as though built-in IR illuminator is not getting the job done even when set to manual...

Pre-sales recommendation was wrong, needed I-series, not Q-series NVR. Vendor accepted return and I bought correct replacement.

Just purchased LPR camera and NVR (models below) from reputable online retailer with generally good customer service. Asked them to confirm compatibility before buying and they did. I can configure camera license plate capture directly via browser interface, but not through local NVR or via...

Had a power issue and lost connection to NVR. Was able to reconnect to NVR and one camera connected via powerline adapter, but not cameras hardwired directly to NVR. Try as I might, all I can get out of camera config is "The network is unreachable." Don't think cameras have reset button. Turret...

Carl's reviews were great! Last contact I had with Wrightwood was Oct 2018. Excellent support and pre-buy help. Sorry to see them go.

Thanks for the reply. The stuck filter is what happened to the first camera and symptoms were as you described. Replacement camera has developed a different problem. I did reset a couple of times. No change.

I've been trying to contact support at Wrightwood Surveillance in California, but have been unable to get a reply to my emails or voicemails. Anyone know if they are still in business? Hik DS-2CD2542FWD-IWS connects to NVR, but image is all white on display connected directly to NVR. Shows up...

Yesterday, I thought I finally had iVMS-4200 working the way it should after updating camera and NVR firmware. I have three Hikvision cameras (two DS-2CD2342WD, one DS-2CD2542FWD) connect to Hikvision NVR (DS-7608NI-E2/8P), and I could view all three yesterday after firmware update. This...

I have a Hik NVR (DS-7608NI-E2/8P), two turrets (DS-2CD2342WD-I) and a mini dome (DS-2CD2542FWD-IWS). Currently, NVR connects to home network via wireless bridge, turrets are plugged directly in to PoE ports on NVR, and have not yet connected mini dome, but will not be able to hardwire, must...

Thanks Fastb. I had a SkyBell for about two weeks. That sort of functionality is what I really want, not PTT, but SkyBell didn't deliver the goods and I have heard similar complaints about Ring. Surprised there is not an out-of-the-box solution like that at Hik-like prices and which will...

I had and it looks like NVR does, which is why I was optimistic proposed setup would work, but will be bench testing to make sure. Thanks again for reply.

Thanks tangent. So the NVR audio out is not an amplified signal? I was hoping there was some way it would all work with iVMS-4500 app.

I was thinking about adding a speaker to a Hik DS-2CD2542 mini dome with internal microphone install. For instance, mount the speaker just below the camera and tie it all together for 2-way communication, but then I was thinking, would there be a problem with the sound from the speaker being...

10-4. Thanks again!

Thanks! That seems to have been the solution. I had set the iPhone to static IP, but I used the same address as that which was assigned by DHCP; changed last part from 21 to 121 and that made the difference. Syslog in ENH500 still producing same message. Just to close the loop: DS-2CD2342WD-I...

Also, NVR is on the other side of EnGenius ENH500 wireless bridge. In the client list on access point, the address for ENH500 is listed with a small #2 that indicates there are two devices connected at that address, the bridge itself, and the NVR behind it, but the NVR's address is not listed...

Yes, and it does not connect. I can access the NVR via browser on iPad, Android phone and Android tablet, but not iPhone 6. I can see nothing in the configuration of WiFi access point that would account for that difference. iPhone access via Cloud P2P works.

Internal NVR address is visible on wireless access point's network map and visible to all connected devices inside LAN. I wasn't aware that there is any port forwarding going on inside LAN. Port forwarding is only configured on WAN-facing gateway (Comcast modem) with traffic on port 8000...

Your are probably right, but I only have two 4MP cameras (DS-2CD2342WD-I turrets) and I'm pretty sure the ENH500 should be able to handle that. Just before your reply, I configured iPhone to use Cloud P2P and that works fine. There is more connection lag than with the other config on other...

Cams are hardwired to NVR. NVR connects to LAN via wireless bridge (EnGenius ENH500). No MAC filtering at all on either gateway or wireless router.

Thanks for the reply. I have read previous posts where that was mentioned, but I thought it only applied to those using DDNS. I am trying to connect using an internal IP address within the LAN and a different, static, public IP address when connecting via cellular outside the LAN. Also, as...

Yup, have done all of that several times including uninstalling and reinstalling app. Sounds like I have set things up exactly as you have. Even started from scratch on the Android phone just to make sure I am using correct info and again, no problems on the Android phone. It's a mystery. I keep...

Thanks for the reply. If I understand your question correctly, yes. The iPhone 6 is my wife's phone and I have an Android phone. Under "Devices" in iVMS, there are two listed: "Inside" and "Outside." The "Inside" device uses an internal IP address and the "Outside" device uses a static, public...

iPhone 6 with latest OS. Was connecting inside and outside LAN just fine. Today after having connected outside LAN then comming home and attempting to connect inside LAN, I get connection failure. No changes to network and no recent iOS update. Uninstalled and reinstalled iVMS, no difference. I...

Thanks for the reply. Guess I will figure out how to make iVMS work.

I've tried iSPY, Blue Iris, browser interface and all versions of iVMS-4200 from Hik website, but have not been satisfied with any of them. I have found that the NVR GUI is most reliable, so I use that, but I would like to have live view and playback on desktop PC within LAN. Browser interface...
