Adding cameras to Smart PSS and NVR
OK Thanks I'm just playing with that link to web button and at first it wasn't working and gave message "cannot map ports" but now it seems to be working OK and shows this in the browser http://127.0.0.1:43679/?rtspport=43683&tcpport=43675 for the NVR and http://127.0.0.1:43667/ for a camera -

I don't think that's possible with this 4g router and my only option from what I can see is using P2P -

Adding cameras to Smart PSS and NVR
Just trying to get my head around it all so when I install the system in it's new home which is many miles away I can connect and configure it remotely. I have two NVR's one of which is an Imou brand without POE probably go with this and use a Netgear POE switch for the cameras. The Zyxel... -

Hikvision email set up v Dahua
I'll give the Gmail another go . I did manage to get a real IP on the router and can log into it on port 80 and also managed to get port 8081 to work on a camera but there's something not right with it so I'll just use the hik connect for remote -

Hikvision email set up v Dahua
After the Hikvision purge I did get Gmail working but I think they stopped the less secure device option I also tried to get port forwarding to work on my new 4g LTE router with out much luck as I think they only allow certain ports even DMZ didn't work so I'll just keep my old Hikvision on my... -

Hikvision camera admin password reset tool
I watched a few videos on Youtube about resetting NVR's to default . If they don't have a reset button on the board there is a pair of connections one is square and the other is round with 3volts and they just connect them for a few seconds -

IMOU CRUISER SE - is this dahua cam compatible with Blue Iris?
I have a Cruiser 2 and managed to connect it to a Imou NVR and a Dahua NVR which are pretty much the same thing but connecting to a Hikvision NVR no way could I ge it to work on that. From what I can figure those cameras are restricted in features to make you buy cloud storage. Smart PSS works... -

Email not working
I need to take one of the HIK cameras off the NVR and try it direct with Gmail in case the NVR is causing problems maybe there is some port settings that need a change. I think my hosting company have screwed things up as they were taken over recently and everything worked fine before. This... -

Email not working
Just bought a cheap Tenvis IP camera and tested the email sending with a Gmail account and it works fine once I turned off the "less secure apps" settings in Gmail account. Put the exact same settings in the HIK camera and it won't connect to the test server so this is a HIK issue. I tried the... -

Email not working
It's the email sever on my website which is an SMTP server I believe. Thunderbird email client connects just fine which is doing pretty much the same thing as a camera -

So I bought a used ASUS router and set it up and apart from the ability to have openVPN it's no better than the Linksys 320N. Wireless signal seems slightly better but keeps dropping out and I can't get the USB drive to set up with the camera NAS. Linksys sets up easy and allows you to partition... -
