I'm trying to view the camera feed on PC in 'Ezviz studio' on a Windows 10 machine, which doesn't work. I could find no information on this system from Ezviz/Hikvision and while the NVR motherboard is stamped 'DS-80242', it does not correspond to the old DS-8xxx devices in any way. It is a 4K 8-channel POE which apparently (based on the missing components on the board) has a 16-channel big brother. The camera are 4K EXIR bullet type that get nice and warm. The NVR shows an upper limit to the bitrate of a camera at about 16Mbs.
Once the system is added to Ezviz account, camera feeds CAN be viewed via web browser (after plugins install), and everything appears to work fine, however, the Ezviz Studio application does everything BUT display video feeds.
The cameras can be configured deeply using the Studio, and even within the configuration panel live video feeds CAN be seen in the sub panels for changing settings like motion detection boundaries, so that would suggest there is some sort of lock-out happening, because obviously the Windows 10 is in fact receiving the video stream.
When the PC is directly connected to the internal NVR network via camera port, it can then see the camera devices, but when attempting to access their control panels directly, Studio asks for an 'activation code', but nothing like 'ABCDEF' or '12345' or 'password' or even the "Material Code" number printed below the serial number on the packaging the camera came from. It seems to allow a few attempts then starts throwing a 'network error' rather than a 'wrong password' message.
My thinking is that the Studio knows the password just as the NVR does, but its being kept hidden from me, the person who owns the device and paid a hefty chunk of coin for it.
Can anyone offer and tips to pursue this? I'm stumped. I really would like to be able to view the feeds on my PC, and better yet, without having to have the NVR connected to the world wide web.
