Port Forwarding for Hikvision Cameras [ w/ Real Example ]

[@jose.a.garcia]

Thanks this worked perfectly!

[@bestsecuritydevices]

I'm glad I could help.

[@DraconianError]

Helpful for my CCNA Exam. Thank you sir 😎

[@bestsecuritydevices]

I’m glad I could help. I got my CCNA and CCNP a long time ago, they really worth the effort. 😉

[@DraconianError]

@@bestsecuritydevices Congrats sir. I will obtain them soon enough 😎 Thank you 😎😎

[@ajitlwale]

Very nicely explained. Your way of explaining is nice

[@bestsecuritydevices]

Thank you. I’m glad you liked

[@thadhorner5129]

Very clear explanation, thank you.

[@mr_solve]

Thank you so much sir ❤

[@kevinoconnor6570]

wouldn’t you rather set up a VPN of some kind and access the cameras through that using the original IP address? That way it is an encrypted connection and only one port requires opening, the VPN to access all cameras.

[@tannerb434]

Thank you!

Great , Thank you

[@bestsecuritydevices]

You are welcome.

[@joehon1371]

I want to ask you. I have set up Hikvision on the machine and it is connected to my wifi wirelessly, so I can watch and control it, but it cannot be used when I change it to another vlan (I have opened all vlans in the network switch)

[@Naamroc]

Great bro - but this is possible when telicome doesn’t interfere to customers router cos these days telicome is not giving full access of main router to customers -

[@tawandachimwezi2783]

But then if you need to access it remotely from another device using the Internet how do you do it consistently seeing the the ip address of the router is not static but always changes if the router goes off and restarts the services provider gives you a different ip address

[@MOHAMEDSUHAILJ-so4mq]

Sir why you cant use rtsp port

[@khalidbinmubark2691]

Why we do port forwarding while we can use Hik-Connect ? Any value for port forwarding ?

[@bestsecuritydevices]

Good question. For some especial situation you need port forwarding. Some projects demand the use of directly connection to the company's system with no intermediatiation. I've worked with huge companies with strict IT security rules and no cloud systems such as Hik-connect was allowed. Other cases demand the use of a mix of different cameras, recorders and VMS software which doesn't fit in the proprietary cloud (Hik-connect) model. The easiest way is not always an option so professionals must understand technology in general instead of click a button here and there. IT people from big companies will certainly have a concern and discuss the use of port forwarding, VPN, tunneling, VLANs and other security methods to assure the network and the data are not at risk.

Also I have noticed an issue where by you can not change playback speed when watching playback in the Hik Connect app if the camera was not added through IP

[@AjayJoseph-o2m]

For some reason this doesnt seem to work. I can connect to it with port 8081 however through external IP id doesnt seem to work. I have setup port forwarding too.

[@bradleyrangeley764]

I’m having the same issue did you sort it?

[@piro1446]

What happens if the internet comes from a router with 4G/3G, and the camera is connected to it? What should I do to make it work?

Dear good day. I have hikvision 32 channel NVR & 29 Camera Running, I went add camera another location different hikvision NVR. but I went to know How much camera port forwarding, change http port, for exempla 80, 81,82,83. that change necessary. can you solation, please

Hello. I have a Hikvision DVR and have cameras all connected. I had to upgrade to a new ISP router. I have done the Port-Forwarding and matched the same configuration from the old router but I am unable view the camera remotely from my Mobile Phone using the Apps. I do have a static IP for the router aswell. I have kept all the IP configuration same on the HikVision DVR and ports the same on the new router. Any suggestions?

[@SileDevil]

same problem here have you found a solution?

[@shadabkhan1]

Can we use IP address along with port of camera instead of IP of router

[@bestsecuritydevices]

The router's IP is visible from the Internet, that's the reason you need o use it. It's just like your ZIP Code (Which is Unique) while your internal IP address (camera) is like a house or apartment number (is an internal control, so more people can have the same number).

[@gregorychatura6063]

Hey man can you do a video on connecting my router to my HIK camera. Then using that log on info to access the app? I can’t find out why my admin and password under the DDNS in basic settings iN HIK doesn’t change when I physically change it. It remains even though it says saved success. But then it says server connection failed

[@bestsecuritydevices]

Unfortunately I can make videos for a specific router or particular application.

[@jericogarcia4482]

what if rtsp link i want to expose in internet?

[@bestsecuritydevices]

The RTSP URL is always the same. You just need to insert a port forwarding rule into your router to be able to access the NVR from the Internet, via browser or RTSP stream the concept is the same. Unfortunately is not possible to teach you how to do port forwarding in a single response here, right? Take a look here in my channel and you will find the video where I teach about that

[@leodsouza5272]

Incase if the ISP IP is dynamic how do we set up

[@bestsecuritydevices]

Just use Dynamic DNS

hello sir I have a small store that I make a living from, and I have three workers on the cash register who rotate every 5 hours throughout the week. I want to monitor sales by transferring information to the monitoring device, for example, what are the sales, and like the names of the goods downloaded in the cash register device and their price. How can I activate this feature from Through the NVR monitor and the camera above the cache register. What kind of device I have Hikvision NVR 32CH 24 PoE 12MP DS-7732NI-I4/24p Note: This feature is activated on my cash register, and it was also activated on my NVR monitoring device, but because I lost the password, I had to work for the NVR monitoring device, the company settings from the beginning and new, and then I lost these settings, so how can I set up the iStudy and Port Should the same settings be in the cache register? Thanks

How to connect my ip camera on my office network, and i want to record the footage on my dvr at my home network?

[@richardachyde]

in 2024 this is an absolutely massive cyber security vulnerability! PLEASE do not Port Forward your shitty hikvision camera OS to the public internet!!!!
