Hikvision is a leading manufacturer of surveillance devices, including cameras, DVRs, and NVRs. Their products are used by businesses and individuals around the world to protect their property and assets. However, there are times when you may need to unlock a Hikvision surveillance device, such as if you have lost the password or if the device has been locked out.

There are several ways to unlock a Hikvision surveillance device. The method you use will depend on the type of device you have and the security settings that are in place. In this article, we will provide instructions on how to unlock a Hikvision camera, DVR, or NVR.

Unlocking a Hikvision Camera

To unlock a Hikvision camera, you will need to use the SADP tool. SADP is a software program that allows you to manage Hikvision devices on your network. You can download the SADP tool from the Hikvision website.

Once you have installed the SADP tool, open it and click on the "Search" button. The SADP tool will search for all Hikvision devices on your network. Once the search is complete, select the camera that you want to unlock and click on the "Unlock" button.

You will be prompted to enter the password for the camera. If you have lost the password, you can click on the "Forgot Password" button. The SADP tool will generate a new password for the camera.

Unlocking a Hikvision DVR or NVR

To unlock a Hikvision DVR or NVR, you will need to use the web interface. The web interface is a web-based application that allows you to manage your Hikvision device remotely.

To access the web interface, open a web browser and enter the IP address of your DVR or NVR into the address bar. You will be prompted to enter the username and password for the device. If you have lost the password, you can click on the "Forgot Password" button. The web interface will generate a new password for the device.

Once you have logged into the web interface, click on the "Configuration" tab. Then, click on the "System" tab. On the System tab, you will find a section called "Password". In this section, you can change the password for the device.

Resetting the Password

If you have lost the password for your Hikvision surveillance device and you are unable to unlock it using the methods described above, you can reset the password. However, resetting the password will erase all of the settings on the device. Therefore, you should only reset the password if you are unable to unlock the device using any other method.

To reset the password, you will need to use the reset button on the device. The reset button is usually located on the back or bottom of the device. Use a pen or a paperclip to press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds. The device will reboot and the password will be reset to the default password.
