Ensure the IP addresses are in the same range
This can be done by logging into the camera’s web interface, and navigating to Configuration -> Network -> Basic Settings -> TCP/IP and entering a new IPv4 Address for the Hikvision camera. However, most likely the Hikvision camera will have a different IP address and you’ll need to change it. If the IP camera and NVR are in the same IP range, that’s great! You don’t need to program anything. Then, use your computer or laptop and open an IP search tool such as EZTools 2.0 to find the IP address of the camera and NVR. Programming the Hikvision Camera’s IP Addressįirst, make sure the Hikvision camera and Uniview NVR are both connected to your network via a router or PoE switch. However, the equipment does not support plug & play when used with a different brand you will need to program the cameras manually for it to work.
This means their security cameras and video recorders can communicate with each other via the ONVIF protocol, and work together seamlessly. Both Hikvision and Uniview security equipment are ONVIF compliant.
