If that monitor has HDMI input, check out something like "rikomagic mk802IIIs". Mini android device that connects on the HDMI input, that way you can run IVMS-4500 on it. I am assuming your NVR is networked, and that you have a wifi that the device can connect to. Otherwise, you could just try a HDMI to analog converter, and use the existing video cable.

Peter_, Check out TeamViewer, it is awesome to help customers remotely, and there is nothing to set up (just ask the customer to download the program, run it, and supply you with their ID and password).

A picture showing what is beneath the camera, and any other cables that come out from the camera, would help. Also, what are the labels on all of those wires?

With Hikvision and Dahua you can do that with no problems, every user can have different permissions. If he has a cheap no brand DVR, you will probably not have the option dto do it, but you should check any options available under user accounts.

Well, from your first post I expected you to have a view into Obama's office. Or at least some, a nice view to any of the famous places on DC. From the youtube video, I also can't imagine why anyone would want to pay to have a peek fromyour balcony.

I trust more a network led on my switch, than any activity led on the DVR. So, if I know for certain that a network cable is working fine, and when I connect the DVR to my network the led on my switch does not show any link/activity, after trying different network cables and trying on different network ports, I would assume that the network port on the DVR isn't working. Also; forget about DHCP, just set up the DVR with an IP, subnet, and gateway that works with your network.

Looks like a power issue to me if it is working fine during the day.

Ahhh, yes, that is the thread I had read, I thought it was for Hikvision NVRs. Hopefully something like that can be done with Hikvision, please let us know if you have any luck.

If you are happy with the NVR, I would take the option 1. I have used many Hik IP cameras and NVRs, but I have not used any of their NVRs with included POE ports. That said, I think there is a post somewhere on the forum that explains a way to make the cameras directly accessible from the network. I think you have to telnet on your NVR and change some routing options, but once it is done, it is done forever. If you can not find it yourself, hopefully someone will have the link to the thread.

I have never missed the event stream. You would use it when recording 24/7 at a lower quality, and then you want to record at a higher quality when there is any event (motion detection or alarm).

Change the web port on your DVR to something different than 80, I recommend 90. Forward port 90 TCP/UDP on the nanobridge to 192.168.1.100 Forward port 90 TCP/UDP on the WR741 to 192.168.0.200 Repeat for any other ports that your DVR needs.

You haven't used many IP cameras, have you? IP cameras have no "OSD" menus, since all the configuration is done via the camera's web interface.

Those are analog cameras; so they will be useless to you unles you buiy a DVR+hard drive. Without a DVR you will not be able to see them over internet, you would only be able to see them on site connecting them to a TV/monitor. PTZ IP with decent quality for $300, I think that is not going to happen. You could get something like the following on that price range: http://www.apexis.com.cn/en/productsdetails_183.html But that one is only 640x480 and has 3x zoom. You will be able to see during the day if your workers are working or just being lazy, but do not expect a lot more from it.

I think MDVRs are only good when you will be using the higher grade that integrate extras like GPS, G-sensor, and 3G. This way it is easy to set up for remote viewing, for knowing all the time were the vehicles are, G-sensor so it logs the speed or any incidents, etc. If you only need video recording with no extras, I think it is just easier and way cheaper to install a normal DVR using a SSD hard drive. If only one camera is needed (like maybe in a taxi) there are even small 1ch DVRs that will just record to a SD card.

There is no solution to your problem. On an outdoor camera, you WILL get false positives. Branches, wind, leaves, trees, animals, rain, whatever. Even the shadow of the trees on the ground, which moves all day long as the earth rotates, so you can not mask it out. The only solution is to install PIR motion detectors. With video movement detection, which is what you are using now, you can only tweak the detection zones and sensitivity to get the best results. You have already done that, and are not geting the results you need, so you need PIRs.

Awesome, glad it helped!

Only for Hikvision.

You download iVMS-4500 from Google Play Store.

On all the 12V power supplies we use there is a small knob next to the connectors that you can turn with a screwdriver. It is used for adjusting the V output with about +-15%. http://www.securame.com/alimentador-para-pared-transformadores-fuentes-de-alimentacion-c-21_83.html http://www.securame.com/alimentador-industriales-transformadores-fuentes-de-alimentacion-c-21_82.html On cameras with very long cables maybe we need to turn up the voltage a little bit to make up for the voltage drop. If you look at the picture on this 12V 15A unit, you can see on the right of the black connectors there is a power led, and also a white knob for adjustment, right on top it says "+V adj".

If you only need one Dyndns host, you can sign up for their one month trial (credit card required), cancel the trial before the month so you won't get charged anything, and keep one free host.

On the first post you said one wire pair, but a Cat5 is 4 pairs... Anyway, if you do have one Cat5 cable, I think that the easiest way would be to just install a DVR, and use the Cat5 cable for connecting it to the network.

You've got a power problem there, that power supply is not enough for those 11 cameras and whatever cable lengths you are using. How many A does it supply? How many A does it supply on each input? Can you adjust the voltage so the output is higher on the power supply end? With voltage drop someone we adjust the output on the power supply maybe as high as 13.8-14V, so the cameras will receive enough A.

Congratulations on the fix " title="Applause" /> , do you think it was worth the effort? The only time I broke the glass of one camera, I just used it later indoors, I wouldn't have gone through all that hassle.

I'll be damned, I didn't notice the widgets... I will try tomorrow, too late already. I did try the app with Hikvision (4 different models), Dahua (2 models), Apexis (2 models) and AVTech (1 model). It worked great with all of them. I also had success trying with a Hikvision DVR, but I didn't get it working with a Hikvision NVR. I didn't bother trying with my Dahua DVR. But I am quite sure that any unit that supports RTSP should be able to get it working.

I have also flashed DS-2CD2032-I and DS-2CD2132-I with the latest Hikvision firmware with no issues. I got the latest firm with a few changes, and also the Hikvision logo is now on top, where before I just had an empty space.
