Modifying the IP address of a Hikvision camera is a crucial step in integrating it into your network and accessing its functionalities remotely.

Assigning a unique IP address to each device on a network is essential to ensure proper communication and avoid conflicts. This guide will provide a comprehensive rundown of the steps involved in modifying the IP address of a Hikvision IP camera, empowering you to seamlessly integrate it into your surveillance system.

Prerequisites:
Hikvision IP camera
Network connection
Web browser (e.g., Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox)
Administrator credentials for the camera

Step-by-Step Instructions:1. Physical Connection: Establish a physical connection between your Hikvision IP camera and a router or network switch using an Ethernet cable. Ensure that the cable is properly plugged into both the camera and the network device.
2. Camera Power Up: Power up the Hikvision IP camera. Once powered on, the camera will start broadcasting its default IP address (usually 192.168.1.64).
3. Accessing the Camera Interface: Launch a web browser on a computer or mobile device connected to the same network as the camera. In the address bar of the browser, type in the camera's default IP address (192.168.1.64) and hit Enter.
4. Login: A login prompt will appear. Enter the default administrator username and password of the camera. For most Hikvision cameras, the default username is "admin" and the default password is "12345".
5. Configuration Page: Once logged in, you will be redirected to the camera's configuration page. Navigate to the "Network" tab or section.
6. IP Configuration: Under the "Network" tab, locate the "IP Configuration" section. Here, you will find options to modify the camera's IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS settings.
7. Static IP Address: To assign a static IP address to the camera, select "Manual" from the "IP Address" drop-down menu. Enter the desired IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server addresses in the respective fields.
8. DHCP Configuration: Alternatively, you can configure the camera to obtain an IP address automatically via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). To do this, select "Obtain an IP address automatically" from the "IP Address" drop-down menu.
9. Save Changes: Once you have made the desired changes to the camera's IP address settings, click the "Save" button to apply the modifications.
10. Reboot Camera: To complete the process, reboot the camera to ensure that the new IP address takes effect. Navigate to the "System" tab or section and click the "Reboot" button.
