Hikvision Surveillance Port Mapping Guide31

Port mapping, also known as port forwarding, is a technique used to allow incoming traffic from the internet to access a specific device on a local network. In the context of surveillance systems, it is commonly used to enable remote access to IP cameras and NVRs.

To configure port mapping for Hikvision surveillance devices, you need to access the device's web interface. The default IP address for Hikvision devices is usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.64. You can access the web interface by typing the IP address into a web browser.

Once you have logged into the web interface, navigate to the "Network" tab and then select "Port Mapping". You will see a table of port mapping rules. To add a new rule, click on the "Add" button.

In the "Port Mapping" dialog box, you need to specify the following information:
Name: Enter a name for the port mapping rule.
Protocol: Select the protocol that you want to use (TCP or UDP).
External Port: Enter the external port number that you want to use to access the device from the internet.
Internal Port: Enter the internal port number that the device is listening on.
Internal IP Address: Enter the IP address of the device that you want to access.

Once you have filled in all of the required information, click on the "OK" button to save the new port mapping rule.

You can now access the Hikvision surveillance device from the internet by using the external port number that you specified in the port mapping rule.

Here are some additional tips for configuring port mapping for Hikvision surveillance devices:
Make sure that the external port number that you choose is not already in use by another device on your network.
If you are using a router, you may need to configure port forwarding rules on the router as well.
Once you have configured port mapping, you should test it to make sure that it is working properly.

Configuring port mapping for Hikvision surveillance devices is a relatively simple process. By following these steps, you can easily enable remote access to your surveillance system.
