Live Viewing Via Laptop - Hikvision

Running that shows the NVR, not individual cameras.

So, I am assuming that the NVR is running DHCP and is reassigning the cameras with it's IP address Octets.

I really have no idea, just trying to get access to them when i use the Asus router.

You will have to access the NVR setup section directly and see there what the camera IP address is. I am assuming the cameras are plugged directly into the NVR RJ-45 ports?.

Yes that is correct.

 

[Smilingreen]

Yes that is correct.

Yeah, your NVR is assigning the cameras IP addresses through its DHCP, not your routers DHCP. That is why SADP could only find your NVR, as your cameras are not on the same network as the rest of your devices are.

Does that explain why i can view them on my laptop and iVMS app with the old router but not with the new router?

Probably so.

 

[AusGuy]

Probably so.

OK, so how do i fix it?!

On the Hik NVR I used to have, anytime something got hosed up, I would have to factory reset the NVR and then setup everything again. The NVR would then scan its ports and look for any cameras attached to them. That is one of the downfalls of a NVR. Their OS is very limited in what you can edit to try and reconfig everything. It was just much easier to factory reset it.

Sounds risky...Maybe i will just keep the old router for when i need to change anything. I can still view the cameras with the Hik-connect app and Asus router.

if you want to connect to cameras directly plugged into the HiKvision Nvr you need to go to configuration>network advanced>other and enable virtual host. then you can goto System>Camera Management and on the right side you should have a link to web browser to each camera

each camera ip address will be the same as the NVR just using a different port

Since it all works with the original router, i'd assume that the virtual host is enabled?

Yes i can see each camera's IP address in camera management. Nothing happens if i put that address into my browser though.

 

[AusGuy]

Appreciate everyone's help!

 

[AusGuy]

OK, so i finally worked it out!! Can now view using the Asus, just have to get iVMS working now...

EDIT: Got that working too!
