Hello I have started experiencing issues with all 7 cameras going off line after around a week. The fix for I have found for this has been to log into my NVR and perform a reboot remotely after which all cameras are back working again. Any idea what may be causing this? A failing NVR perhaps? As...

Thank you so much

Following some changes at home I'm looking to move the IP cameras I have from a switch where they are currently connected over the network to my NVR to be directly connected to the rear of the NVR. I thought it may be as simple as plugging into the POE ports but there is clearly more to it than...

Thanks @Dan for taking the time to explore this. Maybe this can be a feature request for future updates?

Owning the same AcuSense cameras I can confirm I also see what @mozso is reporting. Line Crossing does trigger alarms in the Hik-Connect application, whereas Region Entrance does not, even though Region entrance email notifications are received from the cameras successfully.

Thank you @Dan, so am I correct in assuming if there is no notification centre as such, that for a camera configured (non-NVR configured) notification to be received anywhere, this camera needs to be have platform access Hik-Connect enabled and registered in order for the app or any other device...

Would someone be kind enough to explain a little more about how the Surveillance Centre and notifications work? For clarity, I'm not asking how to configure them, more how they function. For example, when an IP cam or an NVR is configured under smart events to "notify surveillance centre" where...

I have seen reports of others managing to install the iVMS s/w onto Android-based Smart TV's. Mine although smart are quite old now, and I was against having to load up the smart hub that can be a slow process, and wait for the app to launch. At least with my setup I can quickly channel hop...

I realise this does not directly answer your question, I'm sure someone more knowledgable will do this soon, however I am successfully sending my NVR feed over my home network to multiple TV's using a single HDMI-over-ethernet transmitter and multiple receivers. These are the ones I'm using in...

I have now noticed notifications are no longer being received with the iVMS-4500 app. I have swapped over to the Hik-Connect mobile app which appears to be working much better all-round. I had no idea moving from Arlo was going to be so complicated!

Thanks for the reply @Dan. For me it's the other way around. When I add the NVR via IP/Domain connection - with a known IP address - it works. When I add via the Hikvision cloud service to fix the non static router IP issue it doesn't work.

I think I'll need more guidance than that sadly. Now I have email captures working at full resolution it's less of a requirement I think as these images are now stored offsite anyway.

I have seen other Hik-Connect threads but nothing specific to iVMS on iOS, although they may well be related. I changed my connection to NVR via the iVMS app to use Hik-Connect in order to use the DDNS service as my BT IP address was not a static one. The only downside I have found, over...

In the absence of any firm advice I have exchanged both the PSU and case fans with Noctua ones. Whilst not silent, this has made a huge difference and has reduced levels to something that is acceptable to live with, and is now I would say comparable to other devices of a similar size. It was...

Thanks for your help. I'll aim for that. It's a steep learning curve installing this all from scratch!
