How To Add A HikVision IP Camera To NVR Using SADP Tool NEW

[@Maz-2393]

Many thanks and cheers for actually explaining what you were doing rather then clicking here and there and typing stuff in without explaining! And yes did see such videos before stumbling across yours. The camera is up and metaphorically singing like a bird :) cheers

[@a3anti]

After dozens of videos finally someone actually explaining the procedure. Big thanks 🙏

Quick question. I'm trying to connect a Hikvision camera to LCVision NVR through a POC switch will the process be the same??

[@fredericgillant1001]

Thank you thank you thank you! I just managed to add my wifi camera to the NVR in 3 minutes, after loosing 3 hours trying to do it myself

[@gentelmanwithstyle1]

Thank you so much , this is the easiest video ever everyone make ir so complicated but you explain so easy thank you again

I wish to learn more about camera network. What is a gateway, ipv4, ipv6, dns, dcp how are these used in setup menu

Love it! Thank you 👌

[@tipstrick2.0]

A brother can confirm that to view a camera on SADP it must be the same network it was linked to or view on a new network? Help me please

[@VerticalHub1]

How did you log into nvr. And see all cameras I can only access one camera at a time. Or you used the gateway address

[@HikVisionGuru]

Hi Adedoyin, we logged onto the NVR using its ipv4 address. When you say see all cameras, do you mean live view or showing the connected ip cameras with addresses etc?

[@RhylMotionNew]

What if only 2 out of 8 cameras are showing up in the SADP tool and they’re connected via Poe switch.. I can see the NVR and ptz on sadp but not the rest of cameras I have plugged into same switch

[@HikVisionGuru]

So the cameras are connected to a separate poe switch, not the NVR on board poe? I assume you’ve got status lights on the switch showing that power and data is going to the cameras? Can you hear the cameras turn on when they get plugged in or any lights on the cameras? Is your computer plugged into the same switch using an ethernet cable?

[@RhylMotionNew]

@@HikVisionGuru 1 network cable from NVR going to a long distance poe booster then into a Poe switch 300m away at a gate. 5 cameras - 1 being ptz, the ptv came on the sadp too straight away and works no worries however struggling to find the rest. I was plugged into the internet switch inside of the house so what I’m going to do Monday is plug directly into the switch at a gate to see if that makes any difference and yes the light look like the devices are communicating as you’ve got green and orange lights blinking

[@ellmo69]

Slightly different question- but can i add two NVRs on to the same internal network, and this wont cause ay issues ?

[@HikVisionGuru]

Yes absolutely no problem

Thank you for another great video. Just a quick question off topic but i see you used an i series nvr but when you logged into it you didnt have any problems going to live view. When i go to live view on mine using microsoft edge i have to use an internet explorer plugin and then have to click on my first camera and then change it from main stream to sub stream and then click on start live view otherwise i get live view failed or i cant see the camera picture when trying to set up intrusion areas or lines under events. I thought Hikvision would of sorted this but i have just downloaded the latest firmware and its a lot better but i still need to use the internet explorer plug in. Have you found a way around this?

[@HikVisionGuru]

Still using edge in internet explorer mode I’m afraid. Alternatively use hiks proper ivms4200 software. On the web interface configuration page, go to local, and tick “auto start live view”, I find this helps.

[@michaelgonzalez9500]

Is there anyway that i could hire you? to fix my issue i have a Hikvision camera that i can not get to connect

[@debellottehez]

thanks alot this is the only video i found that actully found that i was looking for

[@skysquall-s]

Hi may i ask: 1. Is using many cctv on home aka local network n stream via local wifi or watch from handphone without without using nvr will consume your fup aka bandwitch limit fair usage point from your isp? For instance using 6mp or 8mp bullet camera from hikvision, 2. And how about through nvr first then aka stream from nvr then watch from tv using hdmi out. Is that consume bandwitch or need to subscribe isp first? 3. Can we add or activate any new ip camera to nvr or dvr without hqving isp on local network but we just have poe switch , several lan cable n laptop. With this way as long as i can find the ip cam s default ip adress whether from laptop,chrome browser or i just add it in the machine menu itself, can we do just that by using all lan cable connected?

[@HikVisionGuru]

If all you want is to view the cameras from your local network you don’t need any active internet connection. Just a router/switch will do just fine. Depends on your network speed, we don’t find it uses much bandwidth at all even 8mp cameras

[@davidmyles9460]

Is it possible with an NVR system to link wireless cameras aswell to your NVR network For example say you have 4 cameras all wired into the NVR using CAT6 then you buy one of the wireless style cameras is to possible to add this camera to your NVR to record without running a cable to it and have it on your hik connect app? Hope this makes sense

[@HikVisionGuru]

Hi David, yes you can use a wireless camera as long as it’s got built in wifi

[@davidmyles9460]

Thank you very much worked absolutely perfectly and means I don’t have to run cable from my house to my workshop. Brilliant it’s saved me hours of work

[@jobertnatano0718]

Hello 👋 I would like to know why the cameras is not showing on my sadp .only appear was nvr

[@HikVisionGuru]

Hi Jobert, are your cameras connected directly to your NVR? If so they will not show on sadp, only cameras connected to your network say via a switch will show on sadp. If you want to access your cameras on the NVR you will need to use “virtual host”. Let me know if you need help with using this.

[@ellispugh2687]

Very useful video, thank you! I'm going to a site this week coming to add additional cameras via poe switch over WiFi bridges. This going to be a really silly question, When connecting my laptop to use SADP tool, do I patch it in to the NVR?

[@HikVisionGuru]

Hi Ellis! If the cameras are connected via a switch, you can just plug your laptop into the network either by wifi or into the router/switch.

[@ellispugh2687]

@@HikVisionGuru thank you for your help!

[@MrRenoman2011]

Great video. I have an older Hikvision NVR that will not cooperate and I cant delete cameras. perhaps it needs a firmware update but none available. I don't have the option to remove cameras.

[@HikVisionGuru]

What model number is your NVR?

[@Verikman]

Hello at time 2:43 what password you fill in camera vertification code? S/N code of camera?

[@HikVisionGuru]

Hello! We type in the administrator password of the camera. When the camera is initially activated you give it a password, this is that password. If you’re unsure of your password you can always reset it following our password reset video. Hopefully this helps.

[@alexherrera3918]

I have a new intertnet provider i managed by set up two of my three cameras. But the one of them (an ip camera) shows in the SADP as active but i am not able to change the IP to the new one as i used with the other two. When i hit modify , it does not do anything and after about 6 seconds message error " time out". Any advice? Thanks

[@HikVisionGuru]

Hi Alex, is the camera plugged directly into your NVR via the poe ports or is it connected on your network elsewhere? Are the camera gateways all the same?

[@joshuaunderwood2185]

Awesome videos could you or do you have a video on how to add a PoE switch to a system with IP camera

[@HikVisionGuru]

Hi Joshua hope you are well. This pretty much indirectly sums up how to do this, although doesn’t show the wiring. Depending on the network, With a POE switch, you would have your main network connection from your router going to the POE switch, then a cable from your switch to your NVR, then plug your cameras into the poe switch and add them to the NVR using this video. If your POE switch is going somewhere far away from the NVR, then you just need to ensure that the POE switch is connected to your network router, and not your NVR, as long as that is also connected to your network router, hopefully that makes some sense, reply back if you need further advice on this.

[@antonlowe8768]

Hello great videos, and it's good of you to be so helpfull, out of curiosity I was wondering if you get involved it setting up routers when adding cameras manually in like setting up reservations etc, I know it's the proper way but can be a minefield with all the different routers out there and passwords that have been changed and forgotten etc, also I am aware that if you go high in the range etc it is more unlikely the dhcp will give that address out on a small domestic network but not impossible without being reserved to the device mac. Sorry to ask stupid questions but you clearly know what your on about and wondered what your views are on this. Cheers.

[@HikVisionGuru]

Hi Anton appreciate the kind words. Yes domestics you’re fine setting ipc ip address manually at a higher number. Bigger networks however like you say you’d want to reserve the ip addresses so there’s no conflict. I’ll get round to doing a video on this, but will only be able to do it using a virgin router as that’s all I’ve got!

[@wethdtdi]

When i write the ip of the camera in the browser nothing happens. I get "the site cannot be reached"

[@HikVisionGuru]

Hi Kalin, is your camera plugged into an NVR or a network switch?

[@Itsme-eo5sw]

Could I take a camera off my Poe switch in NVR, then change ip address to a LAN ip but still keep it on the NVR POE switch? I’m needing a LAN ip to add camera via ONVIF to security panel.

[@HikVisionGuru]

Is it a HikVision camera at all? You could virtual host into it, change its ip to static and set its address, apply it, then change the address settings on the NVR to match the new address of the camera. If not take the camera off the nvr, connect to your network, change ip that way. Then manual add the camera to the nvr

[@Itsme-eo5sw]

@@HikVisionGuru yes its hikvision camera. Didn’t know if I could manually change to LAN IP on camera if still connected to NVR. If I can’t and have to do option 2, can I still connect it back to the NVR POE switch after I manually add it? Or do I have to keep it on LAN switch? Thanks so much for your response. There isn’t a lot of info out on this.

[@Itsme-eo5sw]

@@HikVisionGuru also, so after enabling ONVIF in NVR, the panel did find the NVR but only displayed channel 1. I would have thought it wouldn’t have found any streams at all. Is there maybe another setting in NVR that I am missing?

[@HikVisionGuru]

Yes you can do it via virtual host whilst it’s plugged into the NVR, make sure virtual host is enabled on NVR, go to system, camera management, click on blue link next to camera in question, login, configuration, network, untick dhcp, type in your IPs, hit save, then close the page, go to camera management on NVR page, and edit the details for manual adding and type in the ip and password will be good to go. Option 2 is also fine, can plug back in no problen

Good to hear Don! Is it the new TandemVu ptz you’ve got? When you playback on the NVR, can you see both cameras on there at all? For the live view on NVR, you may need to go onto “live view” settings and make an adjustment there
