    How Do I get Hikvision NVR interface to show device MAC addesses

    I am finding it difficult to configure cameras using my Hikvision NVR's standard interface. The problem is identifying each camera by it's fixed ID: MAC or serial number. The Camera Configuration table interface does not show MAC's. It does show serial numbers, but only the long serial numbers...

    Looking for Microphone and Speaker for NVR

    I am having problems sourcing a speaker & microphone to attach to my NVR for sound monitoring and 2-way communication. My NVR (Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL) has 2 RCA ports on the back: Audio In and Audio Out, but I am unable to find any recommendation or source for a simple speaker and...

    Hik-Connect from PC has no Menu or Tabs

    Thanks - Hard to believe that Hikvision would not support current browsers. I only bought the NVR recently (DS-7616NXI-K2/16P) and it tells me the firmware is up to date. So I tried your suggestion and the .vbs file does cause Explorer to open and display the Login page. I logged in, but now I...

    Hik-Connect from PC has no Menu or Tabs

    I have a DS-7616NXI-K2/16P NVR with several Hikvision cameras attached. I have enabled Hik-connect access, and setup Hik-connect on my Android mobile which appears to have full functionality, with control of cameras etc. Now I am trying to get similar access from a PC, using a browser. I am able...

    How Do I configure Nikvision NVR to add several remote cameras using a POE switch?

    Plenty to think about here. And adding a switch at the NVR location wouldn't be a big deal. Can that be a non-PEO switch? (I would think the energy is passing through even though none is being injected at that point, so to speak.) And could I achieve the same using a router which I have spare...

    How Do I configure Nikvision NVR to add several remote cameras using a POE switch?

    Sorry I seemed to have missed this reply. Regarding the suggestion to "Connect the NVR's LAN to the POE switch and the POE switch to the router.", the problem with this is that the NVR, the router, and internet source (Starlink) are in one building, and the switch, with cameras is in another...

    How Do I configure Nikvision NVR to add several remote cameras using a POE switch?

    I see your point, but I'm not sure this is feasible. The NVR is in one building, and the switch with 4 "remote" cameras is in another building. I have only one ethernet cable between the buidings. But I could dedicate another router just to the NVR, if that router could get it's internet...

    How Do I configure Nikvision NVR to add several remote cameras using a POE switch?

    Thank you for your replies. It will take me a while to understand and experiment as my IP knowledge is very limited. If the only way is to connect the switch line to a router, then I assume I can connect the NVR to the same router using the NVR's uplink port. I want to be able to monitor all...

    How Do I configure Nikvision NVR to add several remote cameras using a POE switch?

    I have Nikvision NVR (DS-7616NXI-K2/16P) and various Hikvision cameras (dome, panoramic, bullet). I setup the NVR using the installation wizard (i.e. accepting the default addresses etc). My NVR is connected to a router with internet access, and, when connectd to the NVR ports, I am able to view...

    Hikvision Panoramic DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL - Audio and Alarm cables

    I am preparing to install some HIKvision DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL panoramic cameras. I see they have a couple of extra cables attached: "Alarm" & "Audio" (each with 4 connectors. What am I supposed to do with these? Will I get intercomm functionality without them?
