Hello friends and good day! This is Fred with Tech Talk, and I am coming at you today with a video
on a VMS platform that you can download on your PC or MAC to live view and playback
footage from your NVR, DVR or IP camera remotely. We talk a lot on this channel about Hikvision and
Dahua. And there is good reason for that. They are the two largest manufacturers of surveillance
equipment in the world. Their CMS platforms, which for Hikvision is IVMS-4200 and with Dahua
of course we have the Smart PSS. They account for a lot of the recorders on the market.
But there is a third group in which those two CMS programs will not work okay. IVMS-4200
or the IVMS series of downloads and Smart PSS by Dahua. These recorders, this third group
of recorders will not work with that software. There is a XMeye VMS program that is compatible
with the XMeye platform okay. it is a simple download we're going to cover it right now!!
all right what do you say let's get into the meat and potatoes before we do you know the
drill there is a subscribe button in the bottom right hand corner of your screen
please click that and subscribe to our channel if you have not yet done so
that way you'll be notified when we upload future content also like the video if it's
useful to you and as always leave comments a lot of these videos including this one are from viewer
questions and comments okay so yes to download this vms client view software
again it operates with the XMeye platform that is the phone app that would work with these
recorders you are just going to head to xmeye.org on your pc okay you can see the link here there's
also a link in the description to this video that you can click on once you come to this page you
are going to select the appropriate download okay you see XMeye VMS software there's a download for
windows and one for mac. This is a windows pc so we're going to pick windows here okay.
You can download it directly to your pc
or you can download the program to the cloud we're going to select this pc
and what will happen is we are going to download an executable file to your pc
that will allow you to install the software, so we'll let it do that.
Google Drive can't scan it for viruses that's okay we're going to download anyway
and as you can see the download is occurring
once it's done, we'll be able to open that and install it
there we go we're going to open the file
yes
we speak English so we're going to pick English here. You would obviously pick
your appropriate language and we're just going to hit next through the next series of prompts,
and it will install this program onto our pc
all right perfect there we go. We can hit sign in and it's going to give you the default username
and password okay. Just make sure remember is clicked and hit apply or sign in. It will bring
you to the control interface obviously the first time you use this client software you are going
to have no devices on file okay so we're going to have to add a device. To do this, we are going to
have to get the serial number from the recorder so let me show you how to get that all right. So
what you will have to find is your cloud id okay we see it right here it's this one ab44 number
what you're going to do is cut and paste that copy that okay. You can do control c or right
click and hit copy or you can write it down that is the number you're going to need along with the
administrative username and password to connect this recorder to the VMS XMeye client software
okay. So we'll go ahead and copy and paste that and we will log back into the VMS software
once we're in here we are going to go to device manager.
Once we are in device manager we need to add our device if your computer happens to be on the same
network as the recorder you can do a ipv4 search and it will search for
cloud ids on your network the recorder we are connecting to the software uh is in a remote
location so we are not going to find that with a search we're going to have to add it manually
okay so what we're just going to do we're gonna put test um we're gonna leave group
alone that's default login type is going to be by the cloud ip i id i'm sorry that we cut and
pasted and we'll go ahead and paste that okay and then we're just going to hit the password
and once i hit okay there is a protocol option okay this is a xmeye recorder
it's that third group that we talked about but you can also pick
onvif okay but most of the time it is going to work with xm protocol we're going to hit ok
and with any luck it will connect and there you see it has connected
okay and from here this software is very much similar to Hikvision and Dahua. It has got a home
menu it's got a live view and a playback button okay those are the two that we are
primarily concerned about if you hit live view you can see actually this is a automotive shop
you can click on the picture
and it will come off for you okay the encoding is fairly fluent with this program okay um comparable
to IVMS and Dahua Smart PSS. Obviously for playback you do the same thing we'd go into home
we'd had playback you'd pick your device
and our camera right you could pick your day and time now we hit search
and it will cue up your alerts for the day there they are this recorder is set up by motion so
motion events are going to be what triggers the recording so if we pick one of those file here
you can play it
whoa
that camera needs to be cleaned that was pretty dirty uh that's actually a good example for you
guys if you see this uh particular type of shot with a night vision camera okay at night time when
it's dark those spots you will not see during the day you'll only see them when the ir illuminators
come on at night that's a dirty lens that just needs to be cleaned with the clorox white okay
and that will look just just like new at nighttime so let's go and find something during the day
i'm doing is going next here a lot of alerts because it's a parking lot right
pick one of these guys
and there's your motion and playback works just fine
okay so this is the client software again that you will want to use with
third-party manufacturers from from china like Sunivision, there's another one Bcsee,
there are s a bunch of them. But they all use the xmeye phone app and if you want a a pc based
client software this is the one for you hopefully you enjoyed the video we'll see in the field
