I take a moment to thank you with all deepest sincerity for putting together this instruction. One item that you completely clarified in a matter of seconds that no other video could do that I researched. Your explanation of how DHCP isn't present on the PoE ports, and your visual of exactly what to change the camera's static ip settings to has my system working perfectly now. You have no idea how much time I spent just trying to get one camera to be seen by this very same NVR. The manual could be so much better in explaining things in simple terms, and Hikvision tech support listened to my story about exactly how everything is wired, and how everything is configured, and then politely said they offer no tech support and I would need to seek a professional to do my installation which would have cost a small fortune with 6 security cams. Thank you thank you for this one single vid.
Hi great video I have noticed that in the maintenance icon, your cameras showing video only not video /audio Does this mean you don't get any audio My cameras are also showing video only, no sound. How can I get audio to work, I have a Hikvision DS 7608NI-I2/8P NVR with four H265+ Hikvision cameras.
Hi watched your videos with great enthusiasm and they certainly explained a lot and have given me confidence to move from my PC to a dedicated NVR. Only issue I have is that you say the NVR changes all the IP address of the cameras I already have which will cause huge issues for me to access the cameras remotely any more. Does the NVR offer remote access to android devices, I currently use “IP CAM View” on android and don’t want to lose my remote access to them. Or have I totally misunderstood something. Many thanks Nigel
Glad I helped give you the confidence. If you leave your setup as-is and just add the NVR to your network you will be able to keep using IP CAM View without and changes. If you plug all the cameras into the back on the NVR, yes, all the IP addresses will change and you will need to access the NVR remotely. I haven't done a lot with remote access over app. You will need to make sure iVMS-4500 can access the NVR remotely using VPN, port forwarding, or HIK connect. Hope this helps.
Hi there, thanks for the response so quickly, I thought that would be the case. I did a little searching and came up with this guy who explains it quite well, its more of a lecture rather than a quick tutorial, but explained quite a lot to me and game me some good references with hikvision. Ill post the link below in case you might be interested in watching it. Once again many thanks for your vids and chatting. Herte is the link ua-cam.com/video/_uQXYXUzB-4/v-deo.html
hi hope you can please help. have 4 hikvision IP camera and a hikvision NVR. now none of the cams have audio. i want a mic so i can hear stuff. how could i fix a mike? my cams have no wires for a mic, my nvr has only the ethernet ports on it. do i need to buy another camera that has rca connectors to fit my mic to?? or anyway i can connect a mic straight to nvr??? any help appreciate i do already have an rca mic from my old balun setup.
is there any loss in frame rate or bitrate between accessing the cameras through NVR from a computer vs accessing them through a POE switch that the nvr and computer access?
New subscriber! Hi, I posted in another video you made but this video almost explains my question. I'm looking to add another hikivision PTZ 4mp 25x to my system that was professionally installed with a hikivision 2 terabyte 4 channel recorder. I have 3 cameras currently, 1 ptz, 1 fixed, 1 pt trucolor. Can I just run a LAN wire (with the wires in the same order on the connectors as the others) from the recorder to the camera? The only issue was that a POE had to be added to the PTZ 25x camera because it was very slow and the picture was long delayed. Would the camera need to be updated or will it automatically update/assign the ip address? Thank you in advance
A new (inactive) Hikvision camera should work automatically when it's connected to the Hikvision NVR. The NVR will take care of the IP addresses. Make sure the port on the NVR is set up to automatically accept devices (not manual). Also ensure the NVR is compatible with the camera. You'll need to also verify if the NVR can power a PoE+ device (assuming the camera is PoE+).
I just purchased a Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P NVR and was wondering what cameras would be compatible? The authorized dealers like (B&H photo) want ridiculous prices for their cameras. All I need to do is set up a few cameras and hook them up to the NVR and leave it be. I'm not sure firmware updates are necessary for the camera??? Is it a bad idea to get a english version Hikvision camera off of ebay? BTW I'm totally new to the network camera scene..
If you buy them on eBay, you are entering the grey market. There is no warranty or support. If you are not technical or don't feel comfortable with that, you might want to consider a authorized dealer. Check out my video on the Grey Market for more info that and doing software updates.
The nvr isnt quite at all. Make alot of noise ... But when I want to watch playback I cant find no videos recording but it telling me record 24.7 help thanks
Hi there I have a question....I have a cctv system witch has a dvr and the cameras are running with a coacsial cable. How can I convert them to nvr and hd quality?thank u for your help in advance
Hi, for some reason my NVR has reset to default and now not detecting my cameras. i have checked them to be on the 192.168.254 range and password seems correct but still does not see the cameras. can you please help?
@@HomeTechDIY If i disconnect them from nvr and connect to LAN via 12v power supply i can change settings on SADP tool so that means the password is correct i believe?
If you reset the NVR back to factory, the camera's are still configured for the old system. You will need to manually configure the cameras' settings on the NVR to match the old system including credentials, activation password and ports.
@@HomeTechDIY i did log in cameras manually with admin user name and new password for dvr , thats the reason i reset the dvr bec i forgot password , is anyway i can reset the camera to factory reset too please
Yes, log into the camera's web user interface and go the Configuration tab at the top of the page. Then under System, click on Maintenance. There should be a button to reset all parameters back to default.
Maybe a video on the basic setup would provide the details you are looking for. ua-cam.com/video/c-fNwK-rogI/v-deo.html Feel free to reach to me and I might be able to help. info@hometechdiy.com.
Agreed! I'm putting together an introduction video of the basics and terminology to help those starting out with IP Cameras. This should help the more technical videos make sense. Thanks for the comment!
Great video! But "In my next video I'll show you.." exactly what I was looking for (connecting an ipcam that's on the LAN not on the NVR inbuilt POE ports) - but the links at the end of this video didn't include one to "my next video". So I went hunting, and I believe it's this one! =) ua-cam.com/video/rOoCw-iZfMU/v-deo.html Perhaps you intended to put a link/card when you say that at 6:29 ? thanks again for very helpful videos sir, cheers!

I have an older 4MP hikvision dome camera and want to upgrade to an 8MP. Do you still recommend Hikvision?
Yes, they are still a wonderful option!
is there any loss in frame rate or bitrate between accessing the cameras through NVR from a computer vs accessing them through a POE switch that the nvr and computer access?

Hi there. I have a question I had a Reolink nvr and I would like to know if i can add different ip camara to that work with the Reolink nvr thanks
As long as both brands are the same OR they are both ONVIF compatible, it should work.
Well the nvr is Reolink poe but I just want to used different camara what brand can I add thanks
As long as the NVR and the cameras can communicate over ONVIF, you should be able to use almost any brand.
The nvr isnt quite at all. Make alot of noise ...
But when I want to watch playback I cant find no videos recording but it telling me record 24.7 help thanks
Hi there I have a question....I have a cctv system witch has a dvr and the cameras are running with a coacsial cable. How can I convert them to nvr and hd quality?thank u for your help in advance
I don't believe it is possible to convert them. Some coax systems have great resolution and may already be 2MP or higher by comparison.
Hi, for some reason my NVR has reset to default and now not detecting my cameras. i have checked them to be on the 192.168.254 range and password seems correct but still does not see the cameras. can you please help?
Sounds like a password issue. How do you know the password "seems" correct? Can you log into the cameras in you place them on your LAN?
@@HomeTechDIY If i disconnect them from nvr and connect to LAN via 12v power supply i can change settings on SADP tool so that means the password is correct i believe?
hello sir i need your help . i want setup ip camera my office and nvr use my house how can do this?
It depends on the brand of NVR you are using. Which one do you have?
Why do cameras keep switching automatic showing one location to another where 1 camera is set up for one location at a time
i have hikvision 7616 , tried to connect the cameras keep saying NO IP CAMERA FOR ACTIVATION can you help me please . thanks
Is the camera you are connecting a brand new Hikvision camera?
@@HomeTechDIY yes i use it for a month then i reset the system to factory reset because i forgot the password . Now gave me this message
If you reset the NVR back to factory, the camera's are still configured for the old system. You will need to manually configure the cameras' settings on the NVR to match the old system including credentials, activation password and ports.
@@HomeTechDIY i did log in cameras manually with admin user name and new password for dvr , thats the reason i reset the dvr bec i forgot password , is anyway i can reset the camera to factory reset too please

You fly through this way too quick, eg, what’s the default password you enter on sadp tool
There is no password to use the tool. To access each camera, you may need your password that you created when you activated the device.
