I worked out what was wrong! For some reason the Storage Server in the Storage Schedule page setting was not selected for the camera in question. I don't know how this happened as changing this setting in HiLookVision gets mirrored in the equivalent iVMS-4200 configuration. They became...

Yes. the CODEC is the same between cameras that work and the one that doesn't. The one that doesn't work is an older DS-2CD2342WD-I, but I have another four of them that work OK. These all use H.264. I've also got two DS-2CD2365G1-I that are using H.265 and these also work perfectly. It is a...

Hi Everybody, I've got a weird problem that has me beat. My Camera & NVR setup at home is a little "different". I've got a handful of Hikvision cameras (7) around my house and I use iVMS-4200 and the recently depreciated Storage Server on a Win7 64 machine as my NVR. I have Storage Server...

I did find a definitive answer as to what was the last version available before it was pulled from the Hikvision servers. The PDF document announcing this says to use "HikCentral Professional + pStor" as a replacement, but this seems to be an extreme overkill solution to the simplicity of using...

Hi Everybody, I've used event based recording on my iVMS/4200/Storage Server setup for a long time, but was getting frustrated with Motion Detection events not activating for the entire duration of a person being in the Motion Detection zone. This would result in recording stopping too early...

Hi Gregg, Thanks for the heads up! I downloaded HiLookVision and it works great on my Office PC. It has a familiar UI, like a previous version of iVMS-4200. Downloading video from via this UI is so much nicer (IMO) than the current version of iVMS-4200. Michael.

Hi Everybody, I see that Storage Server has been depreciated and is no longer available for download. This is a bit sad as this is what I use to store my security camera "footage". What is the last version of Storage Server that was available prior to being removed for download? Does anyone...

Hi Everybody, I've done a quick search on this and can't find a definitive answer. Do you have to set Max and Min Sizes when configuring Smart Events (Intrusion Detection or Line Crossing). It it valid if you only set one or leave them out entirely? Michael.

I see that Storage Server has been discontinued too. I use this on a PC as NVR storage (running as a service). Did anyone here happen to download the last version of Storage Server, or know what version it was and where I might be able to find it?

Hi Gregg, Sorry, I never found a solution to this problem. I'm counting down the days until my office PC gets a hardware upgrade and I move over to Windows 10. Hopefully a fresh OS installation will make things happy. Michael.

An update re this issue! I am pleased to now report that iVMS 4200 VS V1.3.1.6 build 20200812 has fixed the sticky red bell icons after Smart Events are detected! :-D I am a happy camper. Michael.

Just a quick follow up... I'm still having issues with this troublesome PC. An "upgrade" to Windows 10 will be performed in coming months so I'm not overly concerened with getting iVMS-4200 VS working on it at the moment. Michael.

The other strange thing I don't quite understand is that when I go to search for events (as above in Remote Playback Module/Event Playback Page) and click on the calendar to select the dates... the days have light blue triangles in them. The iVMS-4200 VS manuals states that dates which has...

I am directly interacting with the iVMS-4200 VS software.

I didn't think that the iVMS-4200 software had a web interface. I remember using the web interface in the long ago deprecated iVMS-4200 PCNVR software. Michael.

Hi Dan, I am not using a separate hardware NVR, I am using iVMS-4200 VS together with Storage Server on a PC as the NVR solution. All of my cameras are set for a 24/7 Arming Schedule. I did try the same procedure with the "full" version of iVMS-4200 (non VS version) and I see the same...

Hi Dan, Thanks for the reply :) I had a feeling that I would have to make the jump to continual recording and use events to point me to areas of interest on the time line. My Storage Server has 2TB of space. What is the best way to set this up? I've set up an All-Day Template in the Storage...

Hi Everybody, I've slowly been moving my older HikVision DS-2CD2342WD-I cameras over to Smart Events instead of Basic Motion Detection. While it's mostly working well, there are some frustrating moments where I can't figure out why it's not detecting motion when there are clearly people in the...

Some feedback on this. I've updated iVMS-4200 VS from 1.1.0.10 to 1.2.1.6 last night... interestingly the "Detect New Software Version" option did not alert me to a new version... I found it out by checking the Hikvision web page. Anyway, I can report that the new version of iVMS-4200 VS did...

Thanks again! It's good to see that this issue with the sticky red bell indication has been seen by those with the power to fix it :) I will experiment with the Pre Record time and Basic Event detection on the new camera over the next few days. To be honest, I've never been able to make the...
