ACCESS HIKVISION CAMERA ON INTERNAL NETWORK VIA AN EXTERNAL NETWORK

In this week's video we demonstrate Hikvision's virtual host function. How to access IP cameras on an internal network via an external network.

This enables us to externally access IP cameras that are connected to the POE ports of the NVR.

This week's video is POWERED BY SEAGATE SKYHAWK SURVEILLANCE DRIVES

10 out of 10 Video, Thank you a lot mate, you're great. i really like how you showed loading times, explained what you do and also made some common mistakes anyone would do like Bing search so we can figure how to fix these.
thanks again.

I want to thank you for taking the time to show and train people around the world.

[D-Dan]

Thank you for this info, a lot easier than swapping the camera RJ45's to the POE switch each time I want to change the light settings 👍

[aewcontrol]

Thanks for the video. It is also very important to download the plugin!!! That was the reason I couldn’t see the cameras on the LAN!!

[mikemacbrs]

wow very helpful, I was setting up a computer and plugging it into the LAN ports of the NVR.

Thanks bro. Helped me update my POE camera firmware whilst it was still connected via cat6 cable

Good video, helped convenience me to go for the Annke system, which as far as i can see is identical. Ive got my NVR and 5 POE camera's working nicely. I would like to get the sub stream to BlueIris for some better alert monitoring (on actual face recognition), but i'm struggling to get it to connect to them. Any tricks i need to know. I enabled ONVIF on the IP camera when i browse to it from Camera Management. It's on a different network to the PC because its given its own by the NVR. Do i need to put it on the same?

This is helpful I’m fairly confident an have got into the router page etc but when I go to port forwarding I dont see manage game an applications option so there for I don’t know how I can add any in is there a way you could, do this for me by taking control off my computer or I can send pictures off my talk talk router port forwarding page? I’ve tried but no luck in need to get this sorted, thank you!

Hi, this is a nice and usefull video, i just want to ask you how to get access to just only one camera that is connected to the internal network of the nvr switch from my ivms or other client app?? Thks

[janorolin]

Thank you very much for this great video and help. I have 4 Hikvision bullet cameras connected to built-in PoE switch in NVR (DS-7616NXI-I2/16P/4S) and I configured remote access according your video by opening e.g. 65001 - 65004 ports on my router + Hik-connect to get my WAN dynamic IP address. This works perfectly and I can remotely login to my NVR and each of 4 cameras independently. But now for security reasons I am trying to configure how to receive push notification in Hik-connect application on my mobile phone and also on my email when "Illegal login" in camera GUI is raised in case of attacker attempt and I don't know how to configure it when camera is connected to built-in NVR PoE switch. (note: If the camera is connected on LAN directly to router "Illegal login" notification works with no issue and I can get push notification on my mobile phone and also email). Now If I connect cameras back to NVR PoE switch and if I enable "Illegal login" exception in NVR web GUI and I simulate attack on NVR web login page (with incorrect login credentials) I can receive push notification on my mobile phone with no issue. But if I try to simulate attack to Camera web login page e.g. http://"MYWANIP":65001 (with incorrect credentials) I will not receive any push notification on my mobile phone and no email will come. I tried also to enable Illegal login exception in Camera web GUI itself and checked the "Notify Surveillance system" and "Sent Mail" checkboxes but it did not help. Could you please help me with this problem? Is there any solution for it?

This is almost what I need! 😁. It's so quick and a bit blurry for a newbie and would love to know if you have a web page with screenshots and explainations?

[GhostvaperYT]

how can i access this network without this feature? my NVR doesn't have this option its hikvision hilook hilook nvr-108h-d/8p

[mikecarpenter]

Hi can you set up individual cameras on your tv and assign to a channel. Thanks

[tdakov]

Great video.
Quick question for you.
After you access the camera the admin and the password are the same as the nvr?

[inattadhsa]

Thank you so much - great vid. I am however struggling with enabling virtual host on the NVR. I can connect to the NVR via the browser and login, but get a parameter error when trying to save the setting once selecting virtual host.

Secondly, my config is as such: 4 camera connect to an external POE and these connect to one of the NVR ports. I also have 3 other cameras that connected directly to the NVR. The camera directly connected are on 192.168.254.x range vs those connected to the external POE are on 192.168.1.x range. I can see them all via the app etc and on the screen connected to NVR, but for some reason, I cannot connect directly to the 3 camera connected to the NVR - can you please help please?

[marcocurato]

Great crystal clear video, thanks.
I'm facing bad times trying to access ANALOG camera streams (RTSP) connected to a SAFIRE (HIKvision clone) NVR. I can remotely access using Android app, Safire CC on Windows and iVMS4200 on mac too the web access is ok too BUT in no way I'm able to play RTSP streams. I think some step is missing in my configuration. Port forwarding is ok on router. I'd really appreciate some suggestions.

Hi ya
good video, could you help me with this that my employee can check cctv on HIk connect app when he is connected to the local WIFI. Is there any way we can block this access?

[andyl]

Hi. Great video. I am trying to find out how the camera in virtual host mode can access the internet?. Eg the camera to send email alerts of ftp etc direct from the camera rather than

[ww-sdpz]

Hi, any chance you could help me with a few questions.
1

I managed to get remote access setup using hikconnect, but now a few days later I can no longer access my Nvr /cameras remotely, this is more than likely down to the router ip address changing, but I presumed hikconnect had come up with a new smarter way of doing things. Should I just go back to using port forwarding and using DNS or what is the best way to get this up and running.



2

How can I change my passwords on my Nvr and cameras, without causing problems, last thing I want is to end up locked out. (All camera powered directly from Poe ports).



3

Seems the Nvr adjustments are quite limited compared to logging into the cameras directly. Would you recommend logging into camera to make adjustment or will NVR just stick with defaults either way.



4

Can I record to SD and NVR at the same time.



5

Would you recommend using both hikconnect and port forwarding at the same time.



Thanks again
