Whilst the clients let me configure the cams and various features, the VMS 4200 Mac client seems very flaky and not fully compatible with my NVR (even though its pretty much the only Mac software on offer, and Hikvision recommend it for my exact model of NVR).įor example setting up an area of motion detection via the Mac client, I then go to the NVR and see it has taken effect, but has also transposed all the motion detection areas so they don't actually correspond to what the client was showing.Īlso whenever I try to make use of the NVR's 'Notify Surveillance Center' (required to get mobile push alerts) or any of the physical alarm outputs on the NVR, then mac client will just constantly crash within 5-30 seconds of being launched (even when there is no alarm or notifications being triggered) You can certainly view the cams simultaneously from Mac, Mobile and Windows clients (although this is probably due to me using an NVR).Īnyway if you've got a separate streaming server you should be able to do likewise I recently got a HikVision NVR plus cams installed, aswell as being a Mac owner too Not sure how much of this is relevant to you. The amount of knowledge is great! Thank you for sharing. Thank you for your help and time solving all the questions here. I also would like to access everything using my MAC and the client that is available for OSX, but I want to make sure that my Mac is only a 'dumb' remote client and not wanting to reconfigure everything since this has already been done. What I would like to know is, can I have multiple remote clients all controlling the same installation (Not at the same time, but from different clients)?įor example, I currently do everything through the Brix and remote client installed on that machine.

Once everything is properly configured, the remote client can be shut down, and the server software records everything as needed.

I understand that I do not need to leave the remote client running at any time for the cameras to do their job. I did all the configuration and everything works as expected, except my cameras are a bit too sensitive for motion and send emails every 3 seconds.īut my question relates to the relationship between the server hardware, the server software, and the client software. I also installed IVMS 2.3.13 Build 20150416 on the Brix, with the server, streaming server and client all on that computer under Windows 7 Pro. I installed the cameras and everything went well. I just started to read here a few weeks ago, and decided to purchase some HikVision cameras based on the feedback read here.
