Remote Monitoring Setup for Hikvision NVR107

Hikvision network video recorders (NVRs) offer robust and reliable video surveillance solutions. Remote monitoring allows you to access and control your NVR remotely, providing peace of mind and enhanced security. Follow these step-by-step instructions to set up remote monitoring for your Hikvision NVR:

1. Configure Network Settings:
Connect your NVR to your network using an Ethernet cable.
Log in to the NVR's web interface using the default IP address (typically 192.168.1.108).
Navigate to "Network" > "TCP/IP" and configure your network settings, including IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.

2. Create a DDNS Account:
Sign up for a free DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) service provider, such as No-IP or DynDNS.
Log in to your DDNS account and create a new hostname that will be used to access your NVR remotely.

3. Configure DDNS on NVR:
In the NVR's web interface, navigate to "Network" > "DDNS".
Enable DDNS and select your DDNS provider from the drop-down list.
Enter your hostname, username, and password for the DDNS provider.

4. Configure Port Forwarding:

Port forwarding is necessary to allow communication between the NVR and your remote device. Forward the following ports:
TCP Port 80 (for HTTP access)
TCP Port 554 (for RTSP video streaming)

5. Install a Remote Monitoring Software:

Install a remote monitoring software on your computer or mobile device. Popular options include:
Hik-Connect: Hikvision's official mobile app
iVMS-4200: Hikvision's Windows-based software
ONVIF Device Manager: An open-source software compatible with various manufacturers

6. Add NVR to Remote Monitoring Software:
Launch the remote monitoring software and click on "Add Device".
Enter the DDNS hostname or IP address of your NVR.
Enter the NVR's username and password.

7. Live Video and Playback:

Once the NVR is added, you can access live video feeds by selecting the camera streams. Use the playback feature to view recorded footage.

8. Remote Notifications:

Enable motion detection and other alarm settings on your NVR. Configure the system to send notifications to your mobile device or email when an event occurs.

By following these steps, you can effectively set up remote monitoring for your Hikvision NVR, allowing you to monitor your property or business from anywhere with an internet connection.
