Is anyone having issues viewing the camera on T3s and OS 2.10.0? This used to work flawlessly before the upgrade.

Hik 4PM, Hik NVR, Virtual host enabled, Generic Cam drivers (all streams passes OK), OS 2.10 and HC800. 

Nothing has changed besides the upgrade to OS 2.10. I am able to see the cameras on all mobile devices, just not on T3. 

I usually research and troubleshoot the issue before posting, but I did not have time to do it this morning. Just wanted to check if anyone is having the same issue.  The only thing I can think of right now would be the camera rez. I think it needs to be lowered. Its just weird that it worked before the upgrade.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Sometimes 15 seconds, sometimes over a minute.   Happening with multiple cameras and doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason with time.  I display a front door camera on the screens when the doorbell rings, but it's pretty useless if the image doesn't show up quickly.

Got home and started to play around with it.

The only way so far I was able to make it work was:

a) Switching the rez from 1080p to 720p

b.) Having the camera module loading on T3

c) Switching back to 1080p.

When the camera saves the new rez, the image pops up. Will keep playing with it a little more...

 

Forget what I said... I think the image works because (probably) the MJPEG stream kicks in.

keep in mind the only interface that can access 1080 p is the t3 ts all the other navigators still need a 720 stream

Yep. My navigators are using MJPEG as I don't have a EA controller (yet). They are working fine.
iOS devices are taking the RSTP fine. Not sure why T3 is not.

I am having the same problem.  Just upgraded to an EA5 and non of the HIkvision IPC cameras worked on my T3s...  Worked fine on mobile.  

 

I have found that the LTS drivers work great - support hikvision and come up quick on the T3s and other controls....  They don't have motion detection capability - but I have installed the Hikvision driver in parallel to trigger on motion.
