Another time for example, we tried to playback the "B cam" recordings, and it turns out to "E cam". Then when i want to playback the recordings - it wrote out that there a Playctrl.dll error, or there nothing to playback. Sometimes they lost the signal, and didn't recording anything. But i have problems with the scheduled recording. I have installed 10 cameras - "DS-2CD2020 type". On another note, if I was to use the iVMS software, which would take precedence, the iVMS software, or the settings on the camera I have set up, ie motion activation recording on the camera, or continuous recording set up in the iVMS software? I appreciate the rsync side of things is for me and my NAS to sort out, but on the camera side I was wondering, I have set the NAS up as a storage device and pointed it to an NFS share on the NAS, however it need initialising, and I didn't want to just hit format in case it wipes the entire contents off my NAS! Can anyone confirm it won't do this, and will just format the share I have created? I am hoping to set the camera to record to the sd card, and then using something like r-sync auto log in to the camera and copy the footage off to my NAS. My NAS - Lenovo ix-300d is set to auto switch on each day 4pm - 1am mainly to save the disks and power when I am at work and it is not in use. It seems that is a distant dream reading other posts on here, so I am now hoping to do the following : I bought the camera as it has built in micro sd storage and I was hoping to get it to work like the logitech system did, store footage on the sd card, auto transfer it when the PC comes online.
Ivms 4200 camera not showing software#
I have just come from a Logitech Alert system, that software was so easy to use and great for my needs, I just wanted higher res cameras and it has been discontinued.
I've pretty much given up with the iVMS-4200 software and I think the cameras built in software will suffice my needs.
I just received my Hikvision DS-2CD2142FWD-I and wow the software is so unintuative!
