I have had very little consistent success getting foscam wireless PTZ cams to reliably show up in HS3Touch with operable controls. For other reasons, I am now considering installing 6 fixed position ethernet cams on a dvr recorder. Does it require an engineering degree to get those reliably streaming to HS3Touch?

Thank you gd1210; I'll look forward to your weekend post. Your reply seems to partly answer my question; apparently it's not an altogether simple process. At some point I thought I understood that the HS3Touch vastly simplified camera integration; maybe not so much? I'd still love to hear some other observations.HS4Pro on Windows 10

Sheriff, I use BlueIris and use it to stream to my HSTouch clients (not constantly, only on demand). I have found that no matter how I have done it (lots) HSTouch will always crash eventually needing a restart.
What platform do you use for HSTouch?
On all my Android clients, over 10 of them, I just switch over to "tinyCam PRO" app if I want to leave the cameras streaming for any length of time. A button in HSTouch takes me to tinyCam and the back button brings HSTouch back.
Another really slick way I have been working on is with Tasker on my Android tablets, it offers a plugin for tinyCam which allows alot of things to happen outside HSTouch. Tasker can make a camera popup on top of HSTouch in a window leaving HSTouch intact and leveraging the other app for video but never actually leaving HSTouch, 10-15 FPS also in H264 which cant be done inside HSTouch.

I installed hikivision cams on a nvms7000 dvr; I ended up just using their mobile app which is very robust. I'd love a button in HSTouch to jump over to the nvms software.HS4Pro on Windows 10
