POE cameras could be added into NVR which supports POE function with both Manual mode and Plug-and-Play mode. When applying the Plug-and-Play mode, please kindly make sure the password of the camera is the same with the NVR, or you could set the password of the camera to 12345.
Note: Plug-and-Play mode could only be applied when the camera is added directly to the POE port of a NVR.
A list needs to be compiled.
1. Press and hold down the reset button for 30 seconds while the camera is on then power it down.
2. Continue to hold the reset button down for a second 30 seconds then power it back up.
3. Continue to hold the reset button down for a final 30 seconds then let go of the button.
Mainstream: is the primary video feed. Mainstream provides the highest video quality, and is the stream the DVR / NVR uses when saving footage to the internal hard disk drive (HDD). Mainstream settings can be adjusted to increase or decrease recording resolution. These settings will impact recording file size and available recording time. Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
Sub-stream: is the secondary video feed. Sub-stream provides a lower quality video stream, and is typically used to stream video to computers, smartphones, or tablets over the Internet. This allows you to reduce streaming quality for live or remote viewing, while maintaining higher quality on the mainstream for HDD recording and storage.
When is each one used?
Mainstream: is the primary video feed mainly use for recording..
Sub-stream: is used mainly for remote viewing from computers, smartphones, or tablets over the Internet from outside the network..
The combination of frame rate and resolution based on the type of compression will need bandwidth necessary to accomplish. The higher the resolution/frame rate combination the more bandwidth or bit rate is necessary. The link below is to a bit rate chart that discusses in greater detail.
When the hikvision device is added incorrectly the first time by having one digit off on a port number or ip address and/or incorrect password or export to group was unchecked, The group of cameras does not get created. To avoid this from happening when adding, simply delete the incorrectly added device from device management and re-add again correctly or fix the issue by creating/adding the cameras to a group in the group tab.

When you don't use your password so often, you may forget it. How to retrieve your password in a convenient and safe way? Here is a self password reset method
Hik-Connect is a new service introduced by Hikvision which integrates the dynamic domain name service along with alarm push notification service. It provides an easy way for devices to connect to the Internet.
This manual is a guide for users to show them how to enable Hik-Connect service in device.
(1) New password resetting strategy is available for –E/-K/-I series NVR from V3.4.90, and Turbo 3.0 DVR (DS-HG/HQ/HUHI-F series) from V3.4.80. With this strategy, customers would be able to reset device password on their own.
(2) All password resetting strategies below are only valid in local area network.Local GUI, SADP, iVMS-4200, and Web client support new password resetting strategy.
(3) The security code resetting strategy (enter by double click left bottom corner of login interface) is removed from this version.)
When our customer adds a device to the Hik-Connect account and the APP returns device is offline, we can follow steps below to solve the problem or locate the causes.
One device can be added only by one Hik-Connect account, if the device was added by other account, you cannot add it again. You can follow steps below to unbind your device or check the video which can help you.
Device serial number(SN) is usually consist of nine digits, or one letter + eight digits.
You can find device serial number according to below methods.
Setting the DVR/NVR to record only on motion and reducing quality's frame rate, Resolution and Maximum bit rate will increase the recording time to the existing hard drive of the recorder.
Before mounting the camera, connect it directly to the port number on the NVR built in POE switch corresponding to the channel it will be working on so it can plug and play. Once playing, using the NVR's monitor output GUI go to:
-Menu >>> Camera Setup >>> Click edit button for the channel in question >>> Change Adding method button from "Plug and Play" to "Manual" >>> Enter the password of the NVR at bottom >>> click Ok.
--The camera will now work an external POE switch that will be connected directly to the NVR internal POE switch on the channel programmed.
On the NVR monitor Output GUI:
-Menu >>> Camera Setup -Choose the channel number the camera is to be assigned to and make note of its IP address.
-Using the third party camera's software discovery tool or browser interface, preconfigure the camera to noted IP address.
-Menu >>> Camera Setup >>> Click edit button for the channel in question >>> Change Adding method button from "Plug and Play" to "Manual" >>> Set the Protocol to the camera's manufacturers name or OnVif >>> Enter the password of the camera at bottom >>> click Ok.
-The camera will now work an external POE switch that will be connected directly to the NVR internal POE switch on the channel programmed.
From the Recorder's monitor output GUI, go to:
Menu >>> Camera Setup >>> VCA >>> Choose desired VCA type tab >>> Enable >>> Draw the line or region >>> Click "SET" button >>> Linkage Action (tab) >>> Place check on "Notify Surveillance Center" >>> Click "OK" >>> "Click Apply"
On Hik-Connect app:
Hik-Connect Page option (bottom) >>> Swipe the device to the left >>> Press the cog/gear setting button >>> Alarm Notification set to Enable.
"No resrouce" usually indicates that the NVR/DVR's graphical display has reached it's limits. You can resolve this by re-adjusting the video settings of the displaying camera channels. Reduce the resolution/fps/max bitrate settings for either main stream and or sub streams of the camera Each video channel from an encoder will take up 1 NVR camera channel. All channels will be assigned the same IP as the single encoder, follow by different video ports for each of the different channels that are assigned
