    Hikvision software for windows (pc/laptop)

    Can someone recommend a Hikvision software for pc/laptop? I have been using the IVMS-4200 but it does not respond very well and is quite slow. Not to mention quite often it fails to show the cameras image.

    Help me determine the power consumption of my cameras and video system

    Alright, cowboys! I will certainly buy one of these electricity measurement devices just to be precise with the calculation. Meanwhile, this is my approximate calculation. Let me know if I am on the right side. 6 Hikvision cameras * 5W per camera = 30 watts 1 Hikvision DVR * 20 W = 20 watts...

    Help me determine the power consumption of my cameras and video system

    I am trying to figure out the electricity consumption of the video surveillance system I have at home. Recently I have gotten higher electric bills and I started wondering what part of it is because of the video cameras. I have 6 Hikvision cameras, one DVR (Hikvision) and one UPS as well...

    Connecting the DVR to the Internet via a second router

    SUCCESS! I have managed to set the extended router connection and I have managed to connect the cameras to hik-connect.com. Now I am able to watch them from every point with the internet. So now Router2 (C54) functions as an extender. There are two or three things I did differently in setting...

    Connecting the DVR to the Internet via a second router

    Thanks. It is shown in the owners manual that it works in a Range Extender Mode. Is there anything in the LAN ports settings I have to change or set? Can't see anything specific in the owners manual.

    Connecting the DVR to the Internet via a second router

    Thanks for your help. But even if I bought a 7 m long LAN cable to connect the DVR to Router1 just to have it connected and set the settings, once I unplug the LAN cable everything will stop functioning, right? There is no point in doing anything like that for the sake of my purpose. Therefore...

    Connecting the DVR to the Internet via a second router

    OK, it makes sense. I will try all the steps omitting step 5. I think I even tried that way (by skipping step 5) and it still didn't work but I am not sure. Will try it and see if it works.

    Connecting the DVR to the Internet via a second router

    Thanks for your reply. I am left with the impression that for the purpose I have and the circumstances in my case, I have no other option but to proceed with setting Router2 as an Extender or "Wireless Bridge" as you said. Well, it is not the cost but the inconvenience of this cable being...

    Connecting the DVR to the Internet via a second router

    OK, here is clarification with pictures. First picture from Room1, where the Main router (Router1) is located. As seen from the image, the Internet cable goes inside the WAN port. It has been set, it functions normally. The next image is from Room2. There I have the Hikvision DVR (in the middle...
