I have lost my sub-stream after a reboot of the swtich/camera. I can be logged into the NVR and the camera at the same time. When logged into the camera I can view the main and sub stream no problem. When I select the substream in the NVR/configuration menu for the same channel camera, I get...

Thanks - that makes perfect sense.

Hi, I have been playing around with my video stream settings and wonder if I got them right or what you recommend I change. This is a 4MP 2043 Hikvision camera. I am confused about the Max Bitrate setting. I found a chart for H.264 with recommendations, but did not see anything for H.265...

Thanks - you guys are the best! A reboot fixed this straight away.

I am using a separate PoE switch. My model is DS-7732 I think, I am not near it now. I was thinking it was a credentials things for the Hik-Connect based on what channels you want to show. But I could not find anything like that in the NVR, other than what you have for users. I agree it is...

I am with you.... They appear there but say "not linked". I can cannot figure out how to link them. Here is a picture of what I see in the app with the red - not linked text. I even tried to delete and re-add the device to the Hik-Connect account with no luck. Same result. The existing...

Hi, I add some new cameras to my NVR but I cannot figure out how to add them to Hik-connect. When I go to Hik-Connect > My Device > Settings > Linked Cameras - I can see all the channels there, and the new working camera names like "camera 6@N123456", but I cannot add them. I can only edit...

Thank you good sir.

Ok - thanks again. The full frame rate through me as I did not expect it, and I did not check it. Which lead to poor performance. I did not know if you had any feedback on - "Should I look at a simple player instead - VLC or soothing. These are windows PCs. I wish there was a tinycam app...

Hi Phil - thank you. I agree and understand completely. I was asking in context to my 1st post above. Could you provide some feedback on my first post? I was really surprised, at least in my case, the sub streams appear to be set to full frame rate by default. I wonder if that is normal...

Ah! Thank you very for your help. That makes perfect sense. Do you change your substream settings to match the main stream typically?

Thank you Phil.

Hi, I setup some cameras and did not really pay attention to the audio/video sub-stream settings. We are using a older PC to run iVMS 4200 lite. I have some newbie questions I am hoping somebody could help on. My understanding is that over 4 cameras and it will select the sub stream...

Phil - thank you for your reply... So this is becoming somewhat more clear, based on your reply in that thread. "However, if you want to use a browser on a PC/laptop/Mac when away from your system, then you cannot unfortunately do so via Hik-Connect. You will need to configure port forwarding...

Hi, I have been looking into Hik-Connect and other remote access options. Hik-Connect has been billed as a "more secure" method to access devices. Perhaps I am getting the "more secure" impression from Hik's marketing. Either way, I am wondering if this is simply not true, or I don't...
