STEP 3 – Configuring Local Ports
Generally there are three ports that Hikvision uses to communicate with and stream video from our
recorders:
Port 80 – HTTP Port for Web Access
Port 8000 – Hikvision Server Port for communication with iVMS 4200 / 4500
Port 10554 – RTSP or Real Time Streaming Protocol for streaming of video
Many popular ISPs (Internet Service Providers) will block access to port 80 by default, so in this example
we will change it to ‘9999’ which is well out of the range of commonly used ports.
Access the “More Settings” tab under the “Network” section of “System Configuration” then change the
default HTTP port (80) to “9999” and click “Apply”:
