Hikvision Device Direct Connection Guide338

Hikvision, a leading provider of video surveillance solutions, offers a variety of ways to connect your surveillance devices to the internet. One of the most common methods is to use a direct connection, which allows you to connect your device directly to your router without the need for a cloud service.

To connect your Hikvision surveillance device to the internet using a direct connection, you will need the following equipment:
A Hikvision surveillance device
An ethernet cable
A router
A computer

Once you have gathered your equipment, you can follow these steps to connect your device:
Connect the ethernet cable to the LAN port on your Hikvision surveillance device.
Connect the other end of the ethernet cable to an available LAN port on your router.
Power on your surveillance device.
Open a web browser on your computer and enter the IP address of your surveillance device in the address bar. The IP address can be found on the bottom of the device or in the user manual.
Log in to your surveillance device using the default username and password. The default username and password are typically "admin" and "12345".
Once you are logged in, click on the "Network" tab and then click on the "TCP/IP" sub-tab.
In the "TCP/IP" sub-tab, you will need to configure the following settings:
IP Address: Enter the IP address that you want to assign to your surveillance device.
Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask for your network.
Default Gateway: Enter the default gateway for your network.
DNS Server: Enter the DNS server for your network.

Once you have configured the TCP/IP settings, click on the "Apply" button to save your changes.
Your surveillance device is now connected to the internet.

You can now access your surveillance device remotely using the Hikvision iVMS-4200 software or the Hik-Connect mobile app.

If you have any problems connecting your Hikvision surveillance device to the internet, please consult the user manual or contact Hikvision technical support.
