OK many thanks I intend to pursue this. In the meantime I have managed to enter my NVR via my browser and tried to install Virtual Host but seem to be having a couple of issues as I get the message Live View Failed. Can you see from these screen shots what I am doing wrong please.

Phew!! Many thank's - thats going to take me a little while to sort that out. My DVR has to be positioned on top of my fridge and I have to use a step ladder to access it. It would help a lot if I could do this via my PC and Chrome (while away in London next week) but in the past it has proved...

Thanks - will this suffice? I have also discovered I do not know how to do a screen grab on my monitor/DVR and get it to my PC.

Can't find IP Camera - this seems as far as I can go. Not much of a techie - sorry

I have done that and enabled them but the bell icon is still there - this driveway actually has very little use at this time. The strange thing is it looks like the bell icon is 'attached' to the recording icon.

Human/Vehicle not enabled. Shot of my monitor may help?

Are these good enough Dan?

My system consists of a Hikvision DS-7604NI-K1/4P NVR and three 4MP cameras. One of these cameras is a DS-2CD2T46G2-ISU/SL and I have a niggling problem with this unit. I have been trying to set up Continuous and Motion Detection so event markers appear on the timeline (It works on my other two...

Thanks for the feedback. The thing is we probably don't want to see most of the 'events' and the quicker we can flick through them the better. On the DS-7604NI-KI/4P NVR for instance you can go into Hik Connect, hit the top left button, choose camera and playback time and the timeline appears -...

Event markers on timeline. I know this has been mentioned on the Forum before but just wondered if anyone has any comments or advice on the following. I spend a lot of time away from my homebase and reliable, remote viewing etc. is important to me. My very simple setup of just two Hikvision...

Just wondering if I need to change or update my system? I have a couple of 4mg Hikvision cameras hooked up by POE to a Hikvision HiLook NVR-104H-D4P with 1TB hard disc (is this the weak link I wonder?) and it works fine to the monitor in my house and straight forward live view. However one of my...

Sorry I cant be much help but you saw my solution above. Most Hikvision 'helps' will only help installers and basically don't want to know about end users. However I did find one, I think In N. Ireland, who did help and in fact I ended up giving them access to my PC and the fixed the issue...

Many thanks for the replies - it's fixed. I am using Windows 10 and I did have a note of my Verification code so I went to the Encryption key field and entered this code (which was considerably longer than the 6 dots mentioned above) then back to live view - and it worked. When I then went back...

Just looked through the Encryption Key forum but could not find an answer to the following. I have recently added the IE tab to Chrome and logged in to my Hikvision. However when I go to Live View for my two cameras and try to activate them I get the pop up 'The stream is encrypted. Please go...

Purely academic interest but can anyone please explain the following for me. I have a Hikvision system monitoring my drive and at night time and when wildlife or whatever set off the LED security lights the picture captured remains in black and white. However if they set off the porch light...

Point taken and understood. However do home users really need so much security? I have just one camera focused on my front yard and anyone who is tired of watching paint dry is very welcome to watch it for a change - and see the foxes coming and going and the spiders blocking the lens etc. I may...

Update: Finally I can view my camera on my PC with much help from Hikvision support to reset an allusive password. After many tries it involved re-booting the NVR then QR and Excel codes, installing plugins, moving encryptions and then finally having to install Internet Explorer (as Dan advised...

Thanks. As I said above my needs are in fact rather simple - just one good camera and and a small NVR as I have very little room for the footprint. Its mainly to discourage people fly tipping on my property. I thought the HiLook system would be fine and it has been working well. At the moment I...

Thank you. That software does not look at all user friendly (maybe only to techies) and as an observation it seems to me that if the HiLook system was meant to be an introduction to their CCTV, Hikvision could have made it a lot easier to use - reflected I guess by the feedback Hikvision (and...

I have a HiLook NVR and good single camera which is fine for me to keep an eye on my driveway. I have set it up so I can view it on my iPhone and iPod from anywhere in the world which works well but I am having problems setting it up to view on my PC which I would like to do. Can anyone help...
