Smart solution, fair play to you.

What are you trying to achieve? There could be another way. Do you have a Hik DVR or NVR or is this a standalone camera?

Does the SD card work at all in a PC? A lot of fake Sandisk cards on the market.

How are you getting the video out from the NVR to the other room? Long HDMI cable?

Nice one! Bit of perseverance paid off. For what its worth, you can probably get a RTSP stream direct from the camera with a Static Route defined on the Router using the Camera IP and credentials (still port 554) but that's a couple more steps so didn't want to start off down that route, but...

Your examples above are missing the prevailing 1 from the 192. IP address. The number at the end of the stream address determines the channel and stream, 101,102, 201 etc. Since your connecting to a stream from the NVR you need to use the NVR‘s username and password, if you have a different...

You don’t need a port number in the RTSP stream when using the default RTSP port on the NVR (554), lose the :65001 from your address. In this instance the stream is coming from the NVR, not the camera. Port Forwarding is only for accessing devices from outside of your network, best practice...

This is also my thinking Phil. You could disable the IR by setting the camera in to "day mode", does it now work 24/7 (albeit it with poor night images)?

The RTSP streams definitely work with the cameras on the "NVR" network, you just change the trailing number to that of the required camera (channel) and stream (main/sub). I'd focus on getting access to the RTSP streams via VLC with the cameras remaining on the NVR (.254.x) network before...

You can view the RTSP stream using VLC media player on a PC or Mac so perhaps get that working to prove your RTSP streams are good. You’ll then know the issue is with Homebridge. Do you have Hik-Connect configured with encryption on the NVR? If so RTSP won’t work, you’d have to switch the...

Review your RTSP stream address. This thread may help: Hikvision RTSP Stream URLs

If Hik exchanged the dead units for new/refurbs they’d then have a good sample of faulty test units to assist with diagnosis…

@RAMROD, do you have the exact same fault, the app immediately closes itself after opening, or a different issue?

How does the displayed and actual time compare in playback?

If you enable “notify surveillance centre” and are accessing remotely from iPhone/iPad via the HikConnect app and service you’re app will receive detection notifications which can then be chronologically reviewed from the app’s notification tab. If you don’t want your phone actually notifying...

I’d try dropping the quality settings down and seeing if the experience then remains consistent. Try 256 or 512kbps, medium and 12fps. Not suggesting to leave on this but if the stream is consistent at this it gives you a starting point. I typically use low quality settings on the sub-steam...

In the Hik-Connect app, check you’ve not accidentally muted notifications. There’s a bell icon to the right of the image of your DVR/NVR in the My Device screen, if this has a diagonal line through it then it’s muted.

Hi, the red LED is hard disk activity so with the video feeds down the hard disk won’t be doing too much and therefore the light not blinking as much. It would be unusual for 2x cameras to fail at the same time and the recorder appears to be working ok so my first thought is the camera power...
