Re: Ivms 4200 Para Mac
Viva Allor
IVMS-4200 is a client for view cameras. In order for you to view cameras remotely, you would need to install PCNVR on a PC to act as a NVR, but would need that PC running 24/7 to access the PCNVR. Or you could basically just port forward the cameras individually to view them but you won't be able to view playback if the cameras are not the ones recording.
If you are going to have 60 cameras down the road, i would deff recommend you getting a CSX that supports 128CHs or even 256CHs to help with the high Bandwith. Also you can have 4 monitors attached directly to the NVR but make sure you have a NVR/CSX that has up to 4 HDMI Outputs.
Also you can view the cameras from the PCNVR but i do not recommend you doing that if you don't have a badass PC that can handle all the serving and playing. I would try and see how the PC reacts to you viewing the cameras in the PCNVR, just keep your eye on the CPU and Memory usage. But i do recommend you using a different PC with IVMS on it to view cameras.
After you have all cameras imported into the PCNVR. You would want to go to the network settings and change the RTSP Port to 2200, anything below that on the RTSP could be blocked by your ISP. Now you can go and do port forwarding on ports 80, 2200, 8000. After that you should be good to go, you can now go to your mobile app and import that PCNVR using port 8000.
So I now have a powerful i7 with 12GB ram. I installed the PCNVR that you suggested and it installed fine and I added the first 3 cameras. Then I opened the 3 ports on my firewall, and went home and installed iVMS4200 client and imported the PCNVR and I was now viewing the 3 cameras. So far so good.
i work at a surveillance center in my town, i'm pretty good with understanding the software ivms-4200 pcnvr, but from time to time, the icon for memory in the top right corner of the main window goes red and shows 98% memory usage and i get an error - "no enough system resource, playback and live view wiil be stopped". then live view doesn't work anymore. the computer has 16gb of ram memory and the software uses 1,5 gb in task manager. what do i do to get rid or to fix this problem. or did anyoane have this problem ?
What are the Specs of the PC, Also how many cameras do you view when you see the Memory goes up that high. The GPU also takes part of the memory usage. Please give us detailed info of the PC. Like what kind of PC, what CPU do you have, what windows, what kind of graphic card etc.
I have 2 monitors connected and on one of them i keep the cameras (main view with 16 cameras) and the other i keep it for playback. it worked fine with ivms-4200 client software. now they (the team that installed all the systems with camera networks etc.) installed ivms-4200 PCNVR and i have the problem i described. they came a few times (not on my shift unfortunately, because the other guys i work with don't know very much about computers) and they fixed it but only for a day or two. after that the memory indicator rises and when it reaches 98% the software crashes and I get the error message-"no enough system resource, playback and live view wiil be stopped".
I have a built a pretty high-end server, Xeon processor, 32gb of memory, etc - and it can code/decode 4k content with no issues. But the iVMS 4200 only taps into a small portion of the CPU or memory available. If you look at your task manager and the iVMS 4200 CPU and memory utilization you will see a huge disconnect where iVMS 4200 thinks it is out of system resources - but your task manager shows plenty of CPU and memory still available.
It seems better but I have discovered another bug with the camera viewing area gets "clipped" in the 4200 SW. So I have to revert back to an old version - and waiting for the next version to be released. They have agreed to fix the camera "clipping" but we will see...
I also tryed to install just storage center on one pc, and client ivms on another...but there were no options to import cameras. Please could you help me which ivms download for client and which for server? thanks
how i can see remotely view and how setup i tried to check on ivms4500 but no failedwhen i entered the device info in ivms4500 in p2p cloud the eror is coming that the device is added other user hoe i can solve this issue?.7204 i hve the device of hik
i setup up quite a few for clients and still use PCNVR as its so much easier for mobile access and it still supports the latest cameras only downside is the non 265 support but just means computers working a little harder and and with advances i just grab a 2nd hand Dell Optiplex 1030 for like 300$ whack a 4TB purple for $200 and a low profile Nvidia GT 1030 for $150 and run 20-30 5MP-8MP cameras no problem
I have a several of projects with Hikvision NVRs (DS-9600 series) with 31 cameras, 34 camera and one at 44 cameras. Mostly Hikvision cameras but also have a few FLIR thermals (FC series) and/or Arecont surrounds (AV-12176). I have noticed that if you get over 20 to 25 cameras, the APPS and Client really slow down and CPU usage jumps. If you open a second screen it get much worse. In these projects I have used an i7-4 core 64bit CPU, 16 GB Ram, and a Matrox C680 Graphic card for the client PC. I managed to get two screens open with about 30 cameras but as soon as you get a lot of activity the bit rate naturally jumps, the CPU usage hits the 100% mark and the PC often locks up. Running windows 10 or Windows 7 but don't see a lot of difference between OSes. Also, had a little mini-pc (Intel X5-Z8300 64-bit, 4GB Ram, Intel HD Graphics, Win10) that we put behind a TV for display in a staff area with a wireless keyboard/mouse for control. The iVMS-4200 Client quickly crashed the unit when I put up a full 32 view layout.
Alternatively, I tested a Digital Watchdog Spectrum NVR with its client software installed in the same projects to compare. Client performance with three displays (16 cameras each) was much better. CPU usage hovered around the 40% level. Noticed it went to about 70% CPU load with 6 display open and considerable slow down/delay of live action but did not crash. Much better performance. Also had no problem running this client SW on the mini-pc (30 - 40% CPU load).
P.S. Also note that all cameras are running on a isolated GB network with their own network switches. We connect this to NIC 1 of the NVR and use NIC 2 to bridge to the main house network (for remote access and viewing). Client workstation sits on the isolated network as well. Our network usage was low - max 20%. No delays or problems with the images showing on the NVR monitor outputs.
We had very similar experience with a 9000 series 64 Channel NVR and about 40 cameras. PC's running the IVMS-4200 and connecting to the NVR would red line when attempting to display live video. We attempted to force Stream 2 by default and it helped some, but overall, not very good. I did notice and posted in another thread about using 4200 to direct connect to 16 HIK IP cameras and the CPU performance was outstanding. Somehow bypassing the server and pulling the streams from the cameras directly seems to perform better.
It does on first thought sound like a problem of the VMS software, its viewing functionality to be exact. I haven't used iVMS, but others I've used have handled >100 cams viewed at the same time, and most certainly it shouldn't crash even if it was a bit slow with all of it going on.
I have never tried installing that many cameras on an NVR, because any system we sell of that size always gets a properly sized server running Spectrum. I actually would never consider selling a single NVR with that many cameras.
Never noticed this issue. I have plenty of systems with 32 cameras on 9632, 60 cameras on 9664,110 cameras on 96128, 225 cameras on 96256 and many other configurations with stitchers and 360 fisheyes and have not experienced those issues. We do use decoders for the screen outputs on many projects. As for iVMS 4200, we have used it, several projects using the aux screen functions (4 screens) maxed out and had no problems.
