Hi ya
good video, could you help me with this that my employee can check cctv on HIk connect app when he is connected to the local WIFI. Is there any way we can block this access?
@@zhs007 That’s his right to be able to do that , other than changing the unit password
Followed the steps but get access error 404. Do you know whats wrong?
@@darrenhills it means no web page available , are you using the IE and have can you access the NVR still ok ?
@@DVSLTD not using ie, i will try that
10 out of 10 Video, Thank you a lot mate, you're great. i really like how you showed loading times, explained what you do and also made some common mistakes anyone would do like Bing search so we can figure how to fix these.
thanks again.
Thanks a lot for the feedback , really appreciate it 😊
I want to thank you for taking the time to show and train people around the world.
Thank You. It means a lot to us!
Thanks for the video. It is also very important to download the plugin!!! That was the reason I couldn’t see the cameras on the LAN!!
Thank you for this info, a lot easier than swapping the camera RJ45's to the POE switch each time I want to change the light settings 👍
Thanks bro. Helped me update my POE camera firmware whilst it was still connected via cat6 cable
Excellent 😊
wow very helpful, I was setting up a computer and plugging it into the LAN ports of the NVR.
Great glad you found it useful 😊
This is almost what I need! 😁. It's so quick and a bit blurry for a newbie and would love to know if you have a web page with screenshots and explainations?
how can i access this network without this feature? my NVR doesn't have this option its hikvision hilook hilook nvr-108h-d/8p
Hi , you can only then access it by plugging a laptop to the spare poe port and then setting the LAN IP range to be something like 192.168.254.200 to be in range
Thank you, saved me a lot of time.
Thanks for the feedback
Thank you very much for this great video and help. I have 4 Hikvision bullet cameras connected to built-in PoE switch in NVR (DS-7616NXI-I2/16P/4S) and I configured remote access according your video by opening e.g. 65001 - 65004 ports on my router + Hik-connect to get my WAN dynamic IP address. This works perfectly and I can remotely login to my NVR and each of 4 cameras independently. But now for security reasons I am trying to configure how to receive push notification in Hik-connect application on my mobile phone and also on my email when "Illegal login" in camera GUI is raised in case of attacker attempt and I don't know how to configure it when camera is connected to built-in NVR PoE switch. (note: If the camera is connected on LAN directly to router "Illegal login" notification works with no issue and I can get push notification on my mobile phone and also email). Now If I connect cameras back to NVR PoE switch and if I enable "Illegal login" exception in NVR web GUI and I simulate attack on NVR web login page (with incorrect login credentials) I can receive push notification on my mobile phone with no issue. But if I try to simulate attack to Camera web login page e.g. "MYWANIP":65001 (with incorrect credentials) I will not receive any push notification on my mobile phone and no email will come. I tried also to enable Illegal login exception in Camera web GUI itself and checked the "Notify Surveillance system" and "Sent Mail" checkboxes but it did not help. Could you please help me with this problem? Is there any solution for it?
thank you so much!
thanks ist works perfect thank you
Can I do this without NVR/DVR? Only with PC and camera? Thanks.
you can do it to camera only if you just port forward the ports from camera IP in router yes
worked thanks a lot :)
Hi. Great video. I am trying to find out how the camera in virtual host mode can access the internet?. Eg the camera to send email alerts of ftp etc direct from the camera rather than NVR.....
no the cameras on Virtual host cannot get access to the internet ☹
Thanks, great video!
Any way to access cameras via virtual host through hik-proconnect?
only if you port forward ports 65001-65016 from router to IP of the NVR , then if you use the hik-connect method and get IP of the site like 92.92.1.170 for instance then use 92.92.1.170:65001 for camera 1 , and so on 😊
@@DVSLTD then still have to also enable public ip? Or will just ports be enough for virtual host link to work via hik-proconnect? Because now I only see :65001 etc in hik-proconnect
What ip address do I use? I have port forwarding setup on my router to 8000 with NVR ip address. It use to work using ivms4500 using IP/domain. I do t want to use DDNS or Hik-Connect. I'm not sure what IP address I need to input using ivms4500 app.
if you want to add by IP address you will need to know the external IP address of the site , you can find this by using a tool like Ping.eu or similar, but most will have a dynamic IP and will change every day or so and then will not work by IP alone, unless you are lucky enough to have the fixed IP address on the ISP Side? If not use hik-connect but you say you don’t want to?
hi
i need to connect my nvr to an internal network, and get an alarems.
thank you
Any idea when I log in to the NVR I don’t have the local option, try to fix live view but I don’t have local option at the top I just see system
Maybe the web browser In use , have you tried Internet explorer / edge?
I have got it going now on Google believe it or not
Good video, helped convenience me to go for the Annke system, which as far as i can see is identical. Ive got my NVR and 5 POE camera's working nicely. I would like to get the sub stream to BlueIris for some better alert monitoring (on actual face recognition), but i'm struggling to get it to connect to them. Any tricks i need to know. I enabled ONVIF on the IP camera when i browse to it from Camera Management. It's on a different network to the PC because its given its own by the NVR. Do i need to put it on the same?
This is helpful I’m fairly confident an have got into the router page etc but when I go to port forwarding I dont see manage game an applications option so there for I don’t know how I can add any in is there a way you could, do this for me by taking control off my computer or I can send pictures off my talk talk router port forwarding page? I’ve tried but no luck in need to get this sorted, thank you!
Great video.
Quick question for you.
After you access the camera the admin and the password are the same as the nvr?
In most cases but its possible to set the Camera password to be different from the admin of the NVR , so it may not be
How do I get the IP camera to connect to a laptop without internet access? I have this HIKVISION DS-2CD2345G0P-I-1.68mm
Is that possible to direct access to the ip camera port 8000 via Hik-Connect client app?
Hi , you can still do this via HIK-Connect yes , you need to do the port forward for ports 80,8000, 65001-65016 and then when using the www.hik-connect.com/ address to access the device you can get the current IP to use the :65001 method for camera 1
excellent video, please check audio level was too low.
Thank You. but in your last login one can not watch the camera remotely just to access the account. i need more explanation on that how i can watch the dvr/camera remotely on my computer system. Thank you.
Hi , you can use HIK-connect P2P method that is enabled when you go into the network, advanced and platform access , enable it , register an account via downloading the HIK-connect app on smart device and follow the register procedure , then add the device by selecting add device in app and scan the QR code on the platform access page , you can then download IMVS-4200 on the PC and sign into the HIK-connect cloud using the same logins you set the for the app. I hope this helps 😊
Thank you so much - great vid. I am however struggling with enabling virtual host on the NVR. I can connect to the NVR via the browser and login, but get a parameter error when trying to save the setting once selecting virtual host.
Secondly, my config is as such: 4 camera connect to an external POE and these connect to one of the NVR ports. I also have 3 other cameras that connected directly to the NVR. The camera directly connected are on 192.168.254.x range vs those connected to the external POE are on 192.168.1.x range. I can see them all via the app etc and on the screen connected to NVR, but for some reason, I cannot connect directly to the 3 camera connected to the NVR - can you please help please?
Hey , what model and firmware is the NVR ?, also can you login using IE if you have not already ?, then try again
Hi can you set up individual cameras on your tv and assign to a channel. Thanks
Great crystal clear video, thanks.
I'm facing bad times trying to access ANALOG camera streams (RTSP) connected to a SAFIRE (HIKvision clone) NVR. I can remotely access using Android app, Safire CC on Windows and iVMS4200 on mac too the web access is ok too BUT in no way I'm able to play RTSP streams. I think some step is missing in my configuration. Port forwarding is ok on router. I'd really appreciate some suggestions.
Obviously I've disabled stream encryption too
Hi marco , you can look at this document for the RTSP to check its ok , and if using a P2P connection make sure the video encryption is off and H.265+ is off also
www.dropbox.com/s/g927setojaefhl7/rtsp%20and%20http%20urls.pdf?dl=0
@@DVSLTD thx, it seems perfect solution, it works.
Another question: I've noticed that sometimes the DVR seems to reject the IP connection for RTSP (user rejected or something like that) while the Cloud service is still fine. What could be the reason?
Btw, I do point to sub stream for RTSP (H264), and I left the main stream to H265. Is it ok or do you suggest to have both streams on H264?

How do i use these cameras on a separate NVR? After enabling virtual host? Or how do i get these cameras on the normal local network?
Hi, this is a nice and usefull video, i just want to ask you how to get access to just only one camera that is connected to the internal network of the nvr switch from my ivms or other client app?? Thks
HOW TO ADD EXTERNAL IP NVR CAMERAS IN INTERNAL IP NVR?? LIKE WATCHING LIVE IN SCREEN SCREEN
depends on model you can add NVR to NVR , it adds as an encoder effectively
Is avaiable software for linux like is on hikvision recorders?
does the camera connected to a NVR or directly connecting to the Router?
To the NVR POE ports
Hi there, can I stream that virtual hosted IP cam into the VLC? what would be its RTSP/HTTP Url?
Yes , you take it from the NVR as a channel - Example rtsp://173.200.91.70:554/Streaming/channels/101 ( get main stream of channel 1, 102 would be channel 2 and so on)
Hi @@DVSLTD, but this still points to the NVR not to the individual camera.
Can you use this to view cameras externally via vpn? Eg view camera feed whilst ina coffee shop but don't trust their wifi so use vpn, goto hik-connect / name and log in that way to be more secure?
the virtual host is a function to access the camera direct outside the network for enhanced support for the cameras, you can add the NVR via any VPN when connected to the App and this will be secure
@@DVSLTD do you have any videos on this? Thanks
Hi there, does this work with 3rd party cameras connected to the POE ports on the NVR?
Thanks
Hi , I have had it work with some 3rd party cameras, but not extensively tested it , some also didn’t work
@@DVSLTD Thank you. I've got 4k Amcrest turret cameras, which are rebranded Duaha cameras I believe. The cameras are individually configurable, presumably I can configure them before I connect them to the NVR anyway. One thing I wanted to know was that does adding 3rd party cameras via ONVIF limit the NVR functionality/features? I've used Hikvision cameras and this NVR in the past. Thank you
Hi ya
good video, could you help me with this that my employee can check cctv on HIk connect app when he is connected to the local WIFI. Is there any way we can block this access?
@DVS LTD Do you know how to configure FTP by NVR POE switch?
Hi , most NVRS don’t enable the FTP function , just the IP camera side 😊
Hi. I changed my ISP from virgin to BT. My app is shoring my cameras and nvr as offline. How can I fix this?
its probably as the IP address of the DVR is not the same as the Router now and needs to be updated to match this setup , so on DVR default gateway needs to be the IP of the router and match the address range issued by router
all my Cameras are setup on Hik-Connect, I started moving cameras to the hikvision NVR POE ports and i see all the cameras fall offline on hik-connect. is this normal experience or am I missing something? seems to be a trade off not sure if its worth it or I am missing something Opinions ?
yes when connected to the POE ports this doesn’t have Internet access so will lose the connection, you can add the NVR to the HIK-Connect and see all of the cameras still
@@DVSLTD Thank you so much I just wanted to make sure this was Normal, I do see in NAT where you can port forward HIK-Connect ports to the NVR which is interesting. Also, I can add 3rd party cameras to the NVR via POE ports when setting static IP and those cameras do not lose internet connection ( port 80 ) which is why I thought it was odd I lost my HIK-Connect connection. Such a Learning Curve here I think the part I miss the most is there is no way to View alerts via web browser, my NVR is in a locked closet and the ivms app leaves much to be desired. Any other suggestions there or do I need to put the NVR under my desk and connect the keyboard Monitor LOL ?
@@stephengriffiths1710 there is a lot you can do , a mouse and monitor will always give you better control or IVMS-4200 on a PC would work and leave the NVR where it is , both give full control 😊
Hi, any chance you could help me with a few questions.
1
I managed to get remote access setup using hikconnect, but now a few days later I can no longer access my Nvr /cameras remotely, this is more than likely down to the router ip address changing, but I presumed hikconnect had come up with a new smarter way of doing things. Should I just go back to using port forwarding and using DNS or what is the best way to get this up and running.
2
How can I change my passwords on my Nvr and cameras, without causing problems, last thing I want is to end up locked out. (All camera powered directly from Poe ports).
3
Seems the Nvr adjustments are quite limited compared to logging into the cameras directly. Would you recommend logging into camera to make adjustment or will NVR just stick with defaults either way.
4
Can I record to SD and NVR at the same time.
5
Would you recommend using both hikconnect and port forwarding at the same time.
Thanks again
Hi , HIK-Connect is smart enough to know the IP address of the router when it changes, you should add it to the account and then should not require you to do anything further, it suggest there is something else going on, perhaps by any chance are you using powerline adapters , those devices that allow IP over mains plugs? If so rest both ends by unplugging and seeing if that brings it back on line, if not then reboot the router and DVR and see if that helps? , have you put a DNS server address also into the DVR network settings , I use 8.8.8.8 but others are available , if not then this can be a cause of the device drop out , so try the above. To change the passwords we would recommend using the SAPD tool , there is an option when you import the file back in saying to update the IP camera password also , so tick this option , and regards HIK connect you can use this with no port forward , you should not see these issue’s. Some settings need to be done at the camera of course so it’s best to login to the camera to achieve this , the NVR can’t hold all of the settings for each device that may be added as there are so many settings that the camera can hold , image settings etc. should be done at the camera.
Is a private/public ip required?
Isn't it easier to just set up a VPN server in the router, and just access the local cameras as if you were there, and more secure than port forwarding.
If you can have the VPN setup then yes that would also work , but via the POE ports you still need to use the virtual host function as the IP address range will not work if that makes sense
@@DVSLTD One more question, thank you for getting back to me. I don't really know what the Virtual host function is as I dont have it, I plan to get Hikvision cameras in the future. Not sure why you need the Virtual Host if you connect the cameras directly to the router, even if you connect the cameras to the PoE switch, which is an unmanaged one, cameras would be setup individually right? I bit confused here sorry.,
my probleim is that i cant even access that website even when i changed the ip address
hi i am unable to record at 25fps (camera spec-4MP25) its not going more than 15 fps. What to do?? please help somebodyyyy!!!!
if the camera is set to 4MP it should allow 25FPS , what recorder do you have it connected to ?
heyyy, thanks for the reply, my recorder is HVR 4.0 from Hikvision, i mean same which is used in this video.
nice try, even though HikVision is rubbish, most modern 20$ cams are viewable over the internet withous setting anything up. this level of complexity is no way near any value. Will through the cams out and buy cheaper dome cams with simple menus.
