After that, you'll need to change the username and password to match that of the camera by default, Hikvision uses "admin" as the user and "12345" as the password. Your IP address will need to be changed the one you designated. Once this change has occurred, continue through the remainder of the window and alter the settings as you need to. After changing that from the drop down menu, you will notice a slight change in the layout of the screen. Immediately after selecting which channel you'd like the IP camera to be associated with, change the Manufacturer option to Onvif. The screen you see below is the same screen that will open when using the Edit option. After clicking the button, you will be brought to a pop up window (picture below).
#LOREX ONVIF MANUAL#
To add a Hikvision IP camera, you will almost definitely have to use the Manual Add feature. If you do not see your camera being displayed, you will need to add the camera manually by clicking the Manual Add button located on the same page. You will likely need to utilize the Edit feature at this time to input the proper credentials for your camera. Select the camera by clicking on the check box, and then click the add button. After selecting this option from the main menu, you may see your IP cameras IP address being displayed on the device list. Step 2: Connect Your Hikvision (or Onvif) IP Cameraįor this step, you’ll be using the Remote Device feature on the NVR. After it has finished rebooting, the changes you've made to the channel type will now be set, and you may move onto step two. You're DVR will inform you that it needs to restart at this time.

Once you've changed the appropriate channel(s) to IP, click the Save button and then the Apply button. If we decide later to add an additional IP camera, we just need to go back and change channel 7 to IP (and so on). For example, using an 8 channel Tribrid DVR, we select the check box under the IP column for channel 8. On a Tribrid, you need to add IP cameras in reverse order. The way this is made possible is by allowing the end user (you) to configure those cameras for any of those three signal types. Tribrids, as you probably already know if you own one, are compatible with standard definition analog, high definition (HD) analog, and IP cameras. From the next page, select the Channel Type option from the left side of the screen. It can be found located under the Setting section of the Main Menu, and then under Camera. If you haven't already discovered the Channel Type page in the menu, you'll need to now. Those of you who own a Tribrid DVR will have an added step immediately following step one.
#LOREX ONVIF SOFTWARE#
All other Onvif IP cameras will have a similar IP configuration tool or software that you'll use to accomplish the same task. You'll only need to select it from the list and then, if necessary, modify the cameras network parameters using the options located on the right side of the screen.

The tool will automatically detect your Hikvision IP camera. Once you have the SADP tool installed and open, use it to modify the network credentials of your IP camera to comply with your own network (including your NVR).
#LOREX ONVIF INSTALL#
Now click on Setup in the SADP folder located on the mini disc to install the tool. Connect your IP camera to your network (router/switch) and ensure that it’s power on (PoE switch, power supply, etc…). Step 1: Configure Your Hikvision (or Onvif) IP Cameraįor a Hikvision IP Camera, you’re going to be configuring your camera using the SADP tool located on the mini disc that came with your camera. **Please note that you will not be able to utilize the "built-in" PoE switch you find on some models of Dahua's NVRs if you are using Hikvision IP cameras.

With Hikvision arguably not having options that are as highly sought after, but with their IP cameras still being as popular as they are, it makes sense to look at Dahua to fill the gap. Not only do they possess all of the features people have come to expect, but they also stand the test of time where others fail. Dahua has built a pretty strong reputation for manufacturing standalone Digital Video Recorders (DVR) and Network Video Recorders (NVR) that live up to peoples expectations.
