Confused about HikCentral Lite requiring a server for Live View
iVMS-4200 can connect directly to my Hikvision DVR and display Live View without any Hikvision server. I can also access the DVR via its local IP address (http://192.168.10.54) in a web browser and view Live View directly.
However, HikCentral Lite seems to require a server for Live View.
Is this by design? I thought HikCentral Lite was the replacement for iVMS-4200, so shouldn't it also be able to connect directly to the DVR without needing to setup a 'server' on my computer?
Am I missing a setting, or is a HikCentral server actually required?
