I think ports go from 1 to 65535 Some are common to certain things, others are just used by whoever for whatever. As long as it does not clash with other network traffic on your network you could probably use whatever port. I usually use something quite high in the registered port range. See...

HikVision don't allow you to disable the admin user! I have said here before here it's a terrible security choice by them. And to top it off the password length limit is only 16 characters! The best you can do is set all user passwords to the most complicated/obscure password possible within...

I suspect the NVR will log the alert for every attempted login with an invalid password. If you yourself type the wrong password I think it will log the alert. You can try it and see. But what is your use-case? Do you really need these ports open to the world for your own use? Do you access...

An "Illegal Login" error is an "Attempted" login. So someone is trying a username (almost certainly "admin") and various passwords. If you have a strong password you should be o.k. assuming there are no HikVision vulnerabilities now or in future... But to cut down on the number of hacker...

On my version of iVMS-4200 (3.3.1.8) if you save your live view using the disk icon near the bottom-left. Then on the bottom-right click the cog/settings icon and there should be an option there "Resume Latest Live View after Restart". For me iVMS mostly resumes to the last live view, but being...

Could you not connect the home powerline adapter to your router? Then it's on your home network and the garage switch is just an extension of that.

Only suggestions I have left are: 1) The classic "turn it off and on again" (the Asus router) and also forget the network on your phone and re-connect. 2) Some routers now have the ability to define a guest WiFi network with is separate from the main WiFi network - just checking you are not...

On your Asus WiFi Router config go to Advanced Settings -> Wireless -> Professional and check if "Set AP isolated" is enabled (YES). If it's enabled then wireless devices are prevented from communicating with each other and that maybe would cause the problem you are having. If it's not that...

I don't know anything about the Hik Connect method as I have never used it but you should be able to add a device "Manual Adding" as "IP/Domain" then just enter your NVR local IP address, port (usually 8000 unless you configured it different), and a username/password. That should then work when...

1) You need power to do anything with the camera. So either PoE or if the camera comes with a power input adaptor and you have a suitable power supply you could power it that way. 2) As per (1), you will need power (PoE injector or PoE switch or external power supply if camera supports it). 3)...

There does not seem to be any way to restrict users to certain cameras. You can only seem to restrict certain permissions. Any user regardless of permissions can always see all cameras. Like I always say - HikVision hardware is really good/reliable but their software and firmware is pretty terrible.

Yes it's possible but you need a static public IP address and a router that allows port forwarding/port redirection. And there are risks involved and things to consider. See this example I posted here about opening up port 8000 to have a direct IP connection from Hik-Connect app to an NVR...

Not sure I can offer any more help as I have never used any app alerts.

First thing to check - I think from memory there are 3 places to set the linkage to send an email. And it's easy to miss them, I have done it myself as the interface is not very clear or well designed. On the camera web interface when you go to the linkage page and see a checkbox for sending...

I can try with an example: I have given my router a local static IP address of: 192.168.0.1 I have given my DVR a local static IP address of: 192.168.0.10 The public IP address (from my internet provider) is: 111.222.333.444 (THIS MUST BE A STATIC IP) The HikVision default device port is 8000...

If you have a static IP address and you can open/forward ports on your router then you can try direct IP connection method. BUT if you do that with then anyone on the internet could find and access your DVR through IP/port scans (although in theory not be able to do anything without a valid...

I suggest you update your post to include what country you are from as well model numbers and versions / firmware of software / NVRs / cameras.

@AdamB I have one of these same cameras and no problems sending test or images using FTP (vsftpd too in my case) although I have not tried anonymous, I always use a user/password even though it's local. Perhaps a silly question but you have pre-created the "anpr" directory? e.g. that dir...

I have a fair bit of experience with Hikvision ANPR and I have found it best to only set the camera to auto-focus temporarily when setting it up (in daylight hours) so it focuses and then set it back to manual focus. If you keep it on auto or semi-auto you can get the issues you reported - e.g...

I did not know that feature existed, that is pretty much what I was after, thanks. BUT although it seems it would work with another monitor connected to the same PC (you could drag the second window to another monitor), I wanted to move the second window to another windows virtual desktop...
