I used to be able to log into my HIKVision CCTV system from anywhere using .

The last couple of years its not worked, I have tried everything to sort it but I think the only option is to replace the DVR which I CBA to do tbh.
I am pretty sure its a software issue in the DVR and its pretty old from 2014 so its no longer supported, that I can see.

Is there such a thing as a box that you can plug into the router and then plug a HDMI cable into it and remote view that video source?

I have googled but all I can find is the usual HDMI over LAN stuff.

I have also tried google remote desktop but its not reliable enough for the uptime I need (weeks at a time).

Thoughts from the experts?

Or search for network hdmi kvm, then work out how you’ll grant remote access to your home network & then replace the dvr

Thanks think thats a bit beyond me and I also ideally dont want the PC on, I should have said I guess!

I mean if its my only option then I might have to consider it though, thanks for the ideas I will keep it in mind.

Have you tried to update the firmware of the DVR? Which model is it, exact model as there are 100s.
