How to View Surveillance Cameras on Local Area Networks (LANs) Using Hikvision225

Hikvision is a leading manufacturer of video surveillance equipment, and many of its products can be viewed remotely over the internet. However, if you're trying to view your Hikvision cameras on a local area network (LAN), you'll need to use a different method. In this article, we'll show you how to view Hikvision cameras on a LAN using the following methods:
Hik-Connect App
Web browser
iVMS-4200 software

Hik-Connect App

The Hik-Connect app is a free mobile app that allows you to view live video from your Hikvision cameras, as well as control other features such as PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) and recording. The app is available for both iOS and Android devices.

To set up the Hik-Connect app, you'll need to create an account and then add your cameras to your account. Once your cameras are added, you'll be able to view them live by tapping on the camera's thumbnail in the app's home screen.

Web Browser

You can also view Hikvision cameras on a LAN using a web browser. To do this, you'll need to know the IP address of your camera. Once you have the IP address, you can enter it into the address bar of your web browser.

When you access your camera's web interface, you'll be prompted to enter a username and password. The default username and password for Hikvision cameras is "admin." Once you're logged in, you'll be able to view live video from your camera.

iVMS-4200 Software

The iVMS-4200 software is a free software program that allows you to view and manage multiple Hikvision cameras on a LAN. The software is available for both Windows and Mac computers.

To set up the iVMS-4200 software, you'll need to install the software on your computer and then add your cameras to the software. Once your cameras are added, you'll be able to view live video from your cameras by clicking on the camera's thumbnail in the software's home screen.

Troubleshooting

If you're having trouble viewing your Hikvision cameras on a LAN, there are a few things you can try:
Make sure that your cameras are connected to the same LAN as your computer.
Make sure that your cameras are powered on.
Make sure that your computer's firewall is not blocking access to your cameras.
Try using a different web browser or software program to view your cameras.
