Hi All, I don't know if the configuration exists but I have not come across the ability to display feeds in correct Aspect Ratio, regardless if it is monitor via HDMI to NVR, IVMS 4200 on PC via LAN or in Android app. Has anyone worked out how to do this?

Your explanation makes sense and I had pondered the security risks that may be associated with the Hik app. I went down the path of setting up a Raspberry Pi as a VPN server for other tasks but I have used it to access the NVR remotely.

Thank you for the explanation. When the connection is made remotely is the video stream data routed through Hik servers or is it just the information required to make the initial connection to the NVR?

I can only see overall cost to end user increasing for Hik brand and overall market share shrinking.

Hi All, I hope I am not creating a duplicate thread, I did a search "HikConnect" but did not see a hit relating to an outline of how it functions. How does the HikConnect vary from the previous remote connection where a static IP or DDNS service was used?

I'm assuming your DVR is HIKVISION and you have done initial setup with activation and passwords etc. You need to know the IP of the DVR and preferably have already set it up as static. If you have a PC/Laptop on the same LAN install iVMS on it this will allow access via it on the LAN Go to...

Are the DVR and TV connected to a LAN? Depending on how smart the TV is it may run iVMS or use it's web browser to log into the embedded DVR.

I don't know why the Aus firmware appears different to elsewhere but the NVR still resets to admin:12345 and not the activation/pass strength stuff. Anyway the NVR firmware did have an accompanying note which I didn't digest first time round. It said activate cams prior to connection, then...

Yes. LAN is 192.168.0.xxx, NVR ports are 192.0.0.xxx

I have a DS-7616NI-SP (fw V3.1.0) and a DS-2CD2345-I (fw V5.3.6) that I had connected via lan and was working fine. I am just rearranging things and trying to get the cam to operate direct from NVR port however it is not happening. I read the thread on issues with newer firmwares and syncing...

This is through ivms4200.

in ivms4200 interface under Event-->Alarm there is a section where you nominate which cameras are triggered, you get images from each cam nominated.

Otherwise address your NVR cam directly in the address bar of your browser to return a snap of current stream. http://user:password@192.168.0.xxx/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/101/picture?videoResolutionWidth=1920&videoResolutionHeight=1080 Refer the "101" above, the first number is the cam...

I arrived here seeking the answer to this very question. I have DS-7616NI-SP with 8 x DS-2CD2332-I.
