Had a HIKVISION system installed two months ago but have sadly discovered that this is not a simple Plug and Play system. Installers provide guarantee on hardware but no tech support after installation unless I pay for a call out to my home - at 40 quid a pop this could get very expensive over the lifetime of the system. It feels like time to take ownership of my CCTV and your forum looks a good place to start looking for help.
I won't mention my specific problem straight away, the first thing I would like to know is whether with iVMS4200 and the SADP tool downloaded on my MacBook Air (OS High Sierra v. 10.13.6), plus the Hit-Connect app on my iPhone and iPad I am ready to rumble? I have my username and password, I still have all the boxes too - is anything missing? My two-camera system comprises the Embedded NVR DS-7600 series and two ColorVu cameras. The cameras are not plugged directly into the NVR, but are networked through my household electric circuits by means of the tp-link Gigabit PoE Injector (TL-POE150S). Once I know I have everything to manage my system myself I'll post about the recurring 302 error and my offline cameras (and yes, I spent last night reading all the existing threads on that but wasn't sure what to touch or whether I have everything I need to start sorting things out myself).
Any advice or guidance very welcome. I'm not a tech geek but I can follow instructions and am not afraid of computers!
