Question:

How can I view my NVR/DVR on my computer outside the network?

Answer:

There are 2 ways of doing so:

  • First the NVR/DVR must be working on the mobile phone via Hik-Connect
  • Install iVMS on the computer
  • Once in iVMS, there is a “Not Logged in” option towards the top right. From there you will need to log into the Hik-Connect account
  • The cameras will then appear on iVMS

 

The second option:

  • The NVR will need to be port forwarded (Server port, HTTP port, and RTSP port will need to be open)
  • You can then use the public IP to view on a browser or you can use iVMS 4200 to add the device
