Aldi 4 camera cctv kit

biffontour

I bought this kit this morning for €189 in Aldi as it seemed very good value. I have it set up with the tv and 1 camera on a fly lead to make sure it is working.
For the life of me I can not figure out how this thing turns on as there is no buttons, no remote.
I am pretty tecky too.
The helpline is not working.
The QR code for the website comes up not found.
Has anyone else bought this and tried setting it up? Or any advise

Hi.

I know I'm bringing up an old thread but did anyone get remote viewing working again since the original app is not available anymore

Anyone have this operating remotely on 4G smartphone. I’ve checked the main menu on the Hdd box itself, and in both NPView and MKvsion and it will not operate over 4G.

Working fine, from home broadband network.

Bought this system and considering returning it, I've it working when hardwired to the router but cannot get WiFi connection working, I've enabled port forwarding on router but no difference, not sure if its because I need a ddns service.

Is anyone using the system and mobile app with WiFi only and having a successful experience?

Hi,
I emailed technical@philex.com and they sorted me out with a new passcode. They asked for a photo of the QR code. Hope this helps you out! Good luck!

Thanks for reply.
Would you Have any idea how I would get to the QR code? As I can’t get into any settings whatsoever. I have the app on my phone which is working perfect, I can use playback etc. Just no settings.

Hi pal,

im in the same boat and am trying to register on the Mkvsion app but it wont let me register as it says my email is already registered which i dont believe to be correct. I tried it with 2 other emails and getting the same message, any ideas on what the problem might be?

Thanks.

Hi guys, spent a few weeks now trying to overcome this exact issue regarding the home protector cctv. I have mine back up and functioning remote view via setting the device up in another app (FSeye) using just my external IP address and forwarding the 5800 port temporarily. My box will not connect to the cloud. Default server is hpview dot net is this the same for everyone else? Anyone got a workaround? Thanks in advance (edit… cloud was working previously and somewhat coincidently hasn’t worked since I had to change out the power supply, no settings have changed)

Interceptor you are going to love this solution. I initially made the exact same mistake as you. The app spelling you have is incorrect. It should be mkvsion. Ďownload and register with mkvsion as old login details were for npview only. Hopefully you remember how to register using QR code etc Same register procedures as npview.

@Cordangan - absolute legend.
I was indeed making that mistake. My dyslexia must’ve kicked in as misread all the posts and was sure it was vision.

This is fantastic that it’s working again. Very useful to have the remote viewing again !

Seems this software, whilst very similar has a better look and feel too.

Thanks so much Cordangan. Yah can’t beat Boards.ie ðŸ‘

Hi, saw this post tonight. I had exact same problem a few weeks ago. Spent 2 full days trying to reset password to no avail. Finally figured that home protector had probably gone out of business and someone somewhere just closed down the cloud website. Very frustrating as I can no longer view remotely. I managed to find some phone numbers and a web site but all lead to dead ends so pretty sure the service is gone.
I tried suggestion of MKVISION but couldn’t even find the app on App Store. If anyone has any suggestions for alternative mechanism of getting remote viewing via an app it would be appreciated

A solution that was suggested was an app called MkVsion. This is the replacement app for NPView. Works fine. Thanks all for your help

Aldi home protector cctv kit has npview remote viewing software. The remote viewing with NPview just stopped working. The login is no longer working and one cannot register a new account. It appears thè cloud viewing NPview software no longer is supporting these cameras for remote viewing . Anybody else experiencing this issue?.

I'm in the same position.

Seems like the app isn't connecting to the cloud anymore
No solutions available yet
Pity because its a great little system

everything is working great all cameras. Thanks a lot.

Found my old monitor today, got it connected to DVR via VGA cable(theres no HDMI) got a message "not in range", must say alteast I got a message, not like on my HD 4K TV just a black screen. Tomorrow will try to connect my sisters monitor, its HD and has HDMI and VGA, she uses it for games. Hopefully it will work and I will be able to change resolution to suit TV, I just dont want to keep extra monitor.

Installed this system a few weeks ago in my sister's new boutique/shop.
Got the same issues with the HDMI connection with a HD ready TV.
Ended up getting a VGA cable and it works perfectly.
You can then go in and fix the output to suit your TV or monitor.

Great system. Very comprehensive and loads of options.
Took a bit of fiddling with the phone app but got there in the end.

Need to go back and set up alerts and stuff but working well so far

Hi everyone. Just bought this kit today, connected one of the cameras to see bow it works, everything is done correctly, camera is working because I can see infrared lights are on, BUT for some reason when I turn on DVR it beeps once(should be like that) and theres coloured bars on my TV after few seconds black screen no menu to set it up etc. Would any of ye know whats the problem? And how to fix it, please. Thank you very much. TV used, Panasonic HD vierra.

The DVR video output is too high a resolution for the TV you are using.Connect to a full hd or a 4k TV via HDMI or a pc monitor..You will then be able to lower the video output of the DVR to match the TV you are currently using.
