I see no way within IVS 4500 to specify substream at the time I setup the camera in devices.
With the free IP Cam Viewer app I can select "generic URL" and easily specify the substream for the camera, e.g.
Then you can set that external IP and that external IP port as the device settings in the IOS app when you're outside on cell that external IP will work, and when you're on your local network it will work just as well, too.Īnybody have any idea with this Hikvision 4500 how to enable live viewing on the substream? Although I can playback from my hikvision cams, when I go to live view I see a screenshot and then it crashes the camera immediately, so I cannot even do anything else to it. 8000, but it could be 2232 or whatever the heck you set it to), goes to the camera's internal IP and its 8000 port.
If you get it working with wifi, next step is to setup the port forwarding on your router so that your external IP plus some other port (e.g. If you've changed the port you can see what it was changed to by logging into the camera directly from a browser and somewhere under system you can see the ports. The default port for the camera is 8000, so with that IOS app you should be able to put in the camera's IP address, 8000 for the port, then the username/password. I have that camera and I am successfully using it with the free iOS app-the hikvision 4500 one that comes up when you search for hikvision in the Apple app store.įirst things first, get this all working while the phone is on wifi before you try it with cellular plus the necessary port forwarding you'll do to let your external IP get to the camera, so that you can simplify what's going on.
