Hi guys it's Hik Guru here in todays video I'm going to be showing you how to add an
IP camera that's on your network and put it onto your HikVision NVR. So lets say it's
not physically connected with an ethernet cable to your NVR it's somewhere else on the network
so for example if it was plugged into a POE switch and you wanted it to be connected to your NVR for
recording and events etc; I'm going to show you how to do that right now. So firstly lets get onto
your computer you are going to want to download HikVision SADP Tool if you haven't already the
link to that will be in the description below. So lets load up the software here it's going to show
you all the different IP cameras, NVR's that are connected to your network currently so this is
the IP camera that we are going to be adding today to my NVR. It's not been activated yet so
it's inactive it's got the default IPv4 address it's got the default gateway. So for my network
my gateway is 192.168.0.1 so I'll have to make sure that my inactive camera has got that same
gateway and as for the IPv4 address you're going to want to make sure it's 192.168.0.xxx
whatever number after that always make sure that the gateway number is the same as the IPv4 number
so I'm going to tick on the camera that's inactive going to create a password for it
and click on activate. So now that camera is activated after doing so you can type in your
security questions just for if you ever want to reset the password if you forget it I'm not
going to bother with that so we now need to setup our IPv4 address so it needs to be 192.168.0.xxx
any number after that as you can see some of my IP cameras at the moment are set to
quite a high address the reason I do that is because likelihood is that IP address hasn't
been taken by anything else on the network so for this example I'm going to set it to 0.160
then the gateway needs to be the same as my NVR gateway which is 192.168.0.1 and now we just need
to type in that password we just created the submit the changes and tap on modify
and that's done as you can see the changes have taken effect here so now lets logon to our NVR web
browser so that's my address for my web browser I'm going to type it into internet explorer
so you're going to want to login to your NVR you want to go to configuration
we're then going to go to camera management we're then going to go to IP camera and then whichever
slot you want that camera going on to in my case it's going to have to be IP camera 8 that's the
only one that's spare you're going to click on that and you're going to tap on modify at the top
you're then going to want to change the "adding method" from plug and play to manual and we're
now going to type in that camera IP address I just created so that was 192.168.0.160
everything there is fine then type in the password you created for that camera
and confirm it again that's all fine and click on ok that camera will now say online
it's currently connecting just give it a few seconds if nothing happens just refresh the page
and now as you can see that camera is now online so now go to my live view on my NVR
select that camera that is now online if you want to make sure it's recording go to configuration
go to storage camera select it from the drop down menu so it was D8 camera 8 and as you
can see it's enabled and it's set to continuous record everyday so then I know it's recording
and yeah that is pretty much it guys simple as that if you've got any
questions or need any further help just let me know in the comments down below
and I'll answer any queries you might have but yeah take care guys bye bye.
