I'm contemplating getting WinPCap installed to try to understand why iVMS is rejected - perhaps it's sending some sort of identifier which could be stripped out. So effectively I've got the Hiwatch NVR working with the Hikvision cameras now. It even allows configuring motion detection, OSD, scheduled recording and so on.

I have found the Hiwatch NVR works perfectly with the Hikvision cameras by selecting the ONVIF protocol. I've also found that adding Hikvision cameras to the NVR with the Hiwatch protocol (the NVR doesn't have a Hikvision protocol option) fails due to - get this - a 'wrong password'! But. It provides multiple functionalities, including real-time live view, video recording, remote search and playback, file backup, etc., for the connected devices to meet the needs of monitoring task. I even tested one on the same network cable as one of the Hiwatch cameras which doesn't work - so my conclusion is that something in the Hiwatch firmware on the cameras and NVR is deliberately detecting iVMS connecting, and returning a false 'wrong password' error. iVMS-4200 Client Software iVMS-4200 is a versatile video management software for the DVRs, NVRs, IP cameras, encoders decoders, etc. I've now got a couple of Hikvision (NOT Hiwatch by Hikvision) cameras and they work perfectly in iVMS. And BlueIris works, but doesn't seem to have playback functionality unless it recorded the footage itself.ĭo add to the mystery, I followed the instruction in that post I mentioned just above (to install iVMS that came with the Hiwatch NVR) and it still didn't work. I found that the SADP Tool still works to change IP addresses, it doesn't seem to be having any problems at all. My money is on at least one of those versions working. I will also try older versions (2.8 and Lite 1.0.0.4) to see if they work - this should determine whether it's iVMS 3.1.x or the NVR and cameras. After that I'll try opening port 8000 in Windows Firewall, just for good measure. I just found some install instructions which said that you need to install as an Administrator (right click, choose run as Administrator) which I don't think will help as Windows asks whether to run it as admin before it does anything. In any event I would expect to get a request from Windows Firewall to allow anything through, and I still had the problem even when Firewall was turned off. exe file actually, I think because in 3.1 they introduced a more distributed system of.
