Connect ANY IP Camera, Video Device into your Hikvision NVR Plug & play Onvif & RTSP Virtual Host

There are 3 ways on how you can add an IP camera or video device into your NVR
1. Plug & Play - This must be an IPCAM protocol compatible or a Hikvision camera to work
2. Onvif - This is the most common generic IP camera protocol in the market
3. RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) - This is a last resort situation on adding a video stream or IP camera that either has an outdated Onvif protocol or is not an Onvif compliant camera, as RTSP is usually available not only in IP cameras.

If you are not sure what is the RTSP stream URL that your device has, drop the model number below and I will try to see if I can help you find it.

Also I added the Virtual Host that is hidden into the Hikvision Network menu. This will help you make adjustments that are only available on the IP camera that is plugged into the built in PoE switch of the NVR.

I have a Hikvision DS-7608NXI-I2 / 8P/S NVR with 8 POE channels, 4 of these are being used by Colorvu IP cameras. I want to add an Akuvox E18c door intercom system which is ONVIF compatible, it is powered by POE, can I plug it straight into one of the 4 spare POE's on the back of my NVR and configure it to work as in the instructions in your video?

Any ideas why I can add an IP camera by onvif to my first nvr but can't add it to a second NVR on the same network for a dual recording with the exact same set up and camera configurations that worked for the 1st NVR?

Hello @SecurityGuru, can you tell me what model NVR that is. I have two colorvu hikvision camera, 1 Amcrest and will be adding more cameras. I like using different cameras for different applications. Also if you can recommend a nvr that doesn't require a lot of bandwidth, I need that one for my food truck. Thank you
