STEP 2 – Program Basic IP information
After the recorder has been physically connected to the customer’s network, access the network
configuration section of the Hikvision recorder by selecting “System Configuration” from the Main Menu
followed by “Network”
*Note: Due to slight variations in firmware revisions, the GUI of your recorder may have some minor differences from the image
shown above
Generally speaking, we can assume that a DHCP server is available at the customer’s site (most routers
provide this service). In some instances, it may be necessary to consult with local IT staff in order to
obtain a valid IP address for use with the recorder. For the purposes of this document we will use a
DHCP server to determine the network address being used by the customer and then we will make
some slight modifications.
