    Anyone actually successfully streaming from their Hikvision camera live to YouTube via RTMP?

    @Kryten22uk did you ever get stream quality alerts from YouTube or dropped packets reported from OBS? From @cymruchris comments, it sounds as though the NVR has problems streaming RTMP. David

    Is there a latency / jitter problem? Try different DNS and YT servers.

    IP Camera can't connect to laptop or see on laptop using a mobile hotspot?

The camera needs to be in wifi client mode to connect to another hotspot. Can you connect your laptop wifi to the camera and try to logon to the camera web...

    IP Camera can't connect to laptop or see on laptop using a mobile hotspot?

    Poppy, Your Sony Xperia5 may not perform as you expect it to. Smartphone WiFi hotspots may only allow 1 or 2 devices to connect, Bluetooth maybe 3 to 5 devices. Your best option is the USB WiFi hotspot dongle. After going through the thread I suspect the main problem is the initial WiFi...

    IP Camera can't connect to laptop or see on laptop using a mobile hotspot?

    Hi Poppy, Using DHCP would be better. Make sure your cameras can be physically factory reset. If there is a problem accessing the camera after the IP address change you will need to do this. Your camera may only offer factory reset from the web gui. Post a web link to the camera model you are...

    IP Camera can't connect to laptop or see on laptop using a mobile hotspot?

    That should work, there could be IP address conflicts with other devices. WiFi hotspots should use DHCP to assign IP addresses to the clients, better to use that. Most hotspots are short range devices (within the same room) with poor penetration through plasterboard / brick walls. Also the...

    How to know the IP address of a DVR?

    I don’t know the hub5 but hope the rough guide below helps. You mention that your DVR is connected by a cable to the router, bear in mind that your router may not be connected to the DVR from a network sense. If the DVR has an IP address given by the router it should show up on the router...

    2.8mm or 4mm focal length to cover my drive?

    With FL 4mm you'll probably slightly overlook your neighbours drives, make sure they're ok with that. I really like the ColorVu cameras, especially if ambient street lighting is nearby. Use-IP also have a 14 day buy and try policy. David

    How to know the IP address of a DVR?

    if the DVR has DHCP enabled your router should show the IP address on the router device list. You may need the DVR MAC address to help identify the right IP address. The DVR MAC address could be on the serial number sticker.
