    I google searched and came to this thread and wanted to add that I had the same problem. Here's my solution.

     

    Three things you can do to hopefully solve the problem.

     

    1. update your NVR firmware

     

    2. Turn down the quality for sub-stream

    - when you see all the cameras at once, it is through sub-stream, hence if you lower the sub-stream quality to CIF, it will sometimes work. you'll notice if you double click on the camera with no resources the camera will be fine, because a single camera view will be from main stream...so if something is wrong wih the substream of the camera, go to step 3....

     

    3. update the firmware for the cameras

     

     

    Thanks for this. Mine was the oppsite. I could see the camea when I viewed all the cameras at once. When I viewed that specific camera, I get the error.

     

    What I found out was the camera was set to 3MP mode under Main Stream, and not 2MP (1080p mode). My NVR cannot handle 3MP, so I went to main menu > record > advanced, and my Main Stream was set to 3MP (2048x1536). Changed it back to 1920 x 1080, and problem was solved.

    Hi There,

     

    I need some help with setting up a display at home, so I can watch the 3 of my stores.

     

    On the mobile app, I am able to to set the quality (fluent vs clear) of the stream thus, reducing the bandwidth usage allow me to see all 15 cameras at a one time (3 stores, 5 per store)

     

    On the iVMS-4200 windows app, I can't seem to find the function to reduce the quality of the stream, so it's causing the app to hang because of the limitation of the upload stream at the stores. It's coming in at full 1080p.

     

    Does anyone know how to adjust the resolution on the iVMS-4200 app, or is there something else I can use? I prefer NOT to use the web portal as I cannot view all 15 feeds at once (5 feeds per store), unless there is a way to add feeds?

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks,

     

    I was actually looking for a solution then I found the link from another web site, and then i saw your post.

     

    Question though, what does the last part of the URL do?

     

    "real_stream--rtp-caching=100""

     

    Mine works with and without it but just wanting to see if that command makes it better.

     

     

    Also, I learned that "stream=0" = Main feed. "stream=1" = sub-feed (lower quality) for those who have bandwidth limitations.

    Hello,

     

    I have a China brand IP camera that I cannot get my android to play over the internet. The camera indicates its ONVIF compatible but not all features of ONVIF work. I tried a few android apps to no avail. I am 100% sure my ports are forwarded correctly. I can view the stream via IE no problem on external computers

     

    So far only IP CAM viewer Lite works within Wifi, does not work on 3G or LTE

    RTSP Player connects, but does not show anything on the screen. It seems to be playing though

    ONVIF IP Camera viewer/explore starts to inquire on the ONVIF settings, but fails at getting the profile streams

    Dahua gDMSS Lite - Doesn't work

     

     

    I can PM the address if someone wants to help. Thanks

    I currently order from China suppliers and have ordered from over 5-6 suppliers.

     

    From experience, they all pretty much produce the same stuff, I took it a part, inspected the housing, inspected the chip. The soldering work on some looked like they were not meant to last long. I specifically wanted 700TVL CCD cameras, and all of them came with Sony Effio-E 4140 chips. Now they could be fakes, or they can be legit. I have no way of knowing.

     

    Now how much does a 700TVL w/ 25 LEDs w/ OSD Dome, plastic indoor camera cost locally? I found they were $110USD + tax a pcs here

    Out of the 5-6, I am currently working with 1-2 vendors. The cost for me is 70USD$ + 5$ import tax each, DHL shipping - 9 Days from China.

     

    If I have time, then 4 weeks regular postage, $55 each

     

    As for RMA experience, yes its a drag to send it back. The vendor allows me to take apart the specific part and send it back. It's really the CCD board, or the IR board that I need to send back if it becomes defective. Housing rarely becomes defective if ever.. It's small enough to pass for letter mail here, which gets to them in a week.

     

    The vendor is good for cameras, doesnt mean its good for DVRs. I order them separately.

     

    Good luck

    What kind of cameras are you guys using? I've played with QSee, ZMODO, CNB, Swan and China Cameras and I don't see a difference between the quality, spec vs spec. Am I missing the point here? Qsee and ZMODO offer pretty crappy customer service when I need a replacement, China cameras are annoying cause I have send it all the way back to China.

     

    Honeywell and Bosch and Panasonic I haven't touched, but for those who have...Are the worth the money?

     

    What are you guys using for cameras?

     

    Thanks
