Question:

How do I connect a Hikvision Encoder to a Hikvision NVR?


Answer:

To connect an Encoder first:

  • Make sure the Encoder and NVR are both in the same network
  • Take note of the encoders IP
  • Log into the NVR web interface and go to Configuration>System>Camera management
  • Change D1 from plug-and-play to manual and use the Encoders IP and username and password
  • Change D2 from plug-and-play to manual and use the Encoders IP but also change the Channel number from 1 to 2 and type in the Encoders username and password
  • Repeat the steps and change the the Channel number until you have all the Encoders cameras connected
