My camera shows offline no matter what i do, I have tried numerous network settings, the camera is working when i view through a browser. When I go to configuration/camera management/ip camera, status is online, I used the IP address from here when setting up the camera in iVMS. Preferred DNS is the same as my router, alternate is 8.8.8.8. All the troubleshooting guides only tell me to changed those settings but still no good. Also tried DHCP and auto DNS, no joy.

[@DVSLTD]

Hi , HIK-Central has 2 options for the video wall , you can use the smart wall license and hardware decoder like the DS-69UDI range, or we now also do a client video wall license which is cheaper but tries to give the similar control to the client as if using a decoder, I prefer the decoder as its more powerful but its possible either way , if you choose the decoder option you can add multiple decoders to the system and manage them from the client with the smart wall license, and the PC can still run up to 4 screens as long as the spec is meet , regards the license where are you based and I will get a contact for you 😊
