Hikvision Surveillance LAN Configuration Guide382

In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of configuring a Hikvision surveillance camera for use on a local area network (LAN). By following these instructions carefully, you'll ensure that your camera is properly connected and accessible within your network.

Prerequisites
Hikvision surveillance camera
Ethernet cable
LAN router
Network configuration tools (e.g., Fing, Angry IP Scanner)
Web browser

Part 1: Physical Connections

1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the LAN port of the camera.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a LAN port on your router.

Part 2: Network Configuration

1. Locate the IP address of the camera. You can do this using a network configuration tool or by accessing the camera's built-in web interface.
2. Once you have the IP address, open a web browser and enter it into the address bar.
3. Login to the camera's web interface using the default username and password (typically "admin" and "12345").
4. Navigate to the "Network" tab in the camera's configuration menu.
5. In the "Basic Settings" section, set the following parameters:
IP Address: Assign an IP address that is within the same subnet as your router.
Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask for your network.
Default Gateway: Enter the IP address of your router.
DNS Servers: Enter the IP address of your preferred DNS server.

6. Click "Save" to apply the changes.

Part 3: Port Forwarding (Optional)

If you want to access the camera from outside your LAN, you need to set up port forwarding on your router. This will allow you to redirect traffic on a specific port (e.g., 80) to the camera's IP address.

1. Log in to your router's web interface.
2. Navigate to the "Port Forwarding" or "Virtual Servers" section.
3. Create a new port forwarding rule with the following settings:
Service Name: Give the rule a descriptive name.
External Port: Enter the port you want to redirect traffic to.
Internal Port: Enter the port that the camera is listening on (typically 80).
Internal IP Address: Enter the IP address of the camera.

4. Click "Save" to apply the changes.

Part 4: Test the Connection

1. From within your LAN, open a web browser and enter the camera's IP address into the address bar. You should be able to access the camera's web interface.
2. If you have set up port forwarding, you should be able to access the camera from outside your LAN by typing its public IP address into the address bar of a web browser.

Congratulations! You have successfully configured your Hikvision surveillance camera for use on your local area network. If you encounter any problems, please refer to the camera's user manual or contact Hikvision technical support.
