Hikvision Camera Finder Software Download

[SB_Jim 1]

I have tried several times to download the software that several of you have recommended - to use in accessing my Hik (a.k.a. Swann) cameras. After hours, the download times out. Its only 13 MBs. I even had an IT friend at my office give it a try over our T-1 line. No success.

 

I'm sure one of you folks have the file, and if you'd be so kind to PM me, I'll provide my email address and would be grateful to have you send it to me.

 

The link to their site is: http://www.hikvision.com/En/US/download.asp

 

The file I believe I'm interested in is shown in yellow highlight below:

 

 

 

Thank you!

Not sure what your going to use that for as this is usally used for recovering passwords....but you can get it from the Europe site

if you want the camera software for your cameras then this is what you want

 

ivms 4000

The website says this about the software I showed above:

 

"

Main function of SADP Software:

 

 

SADP Software supports to search all the online devices in a LAN and show the model, IP Address, Port Number, Device Serial NO., Subnet Mask, MAC Address, Software Version, DSP Version about device. It also supports to modify IP, mask IP and to resume default password by inputting the secure code."

 

I think it would be exactly what I need, no??

I forgot are you using the nvr, if you are it wont see the cameras on the other side. If you connect the cameras to a poe switch by its self...it will see them.

 

if your using the nvr...you can plud a switch into the one of the ports of the 8 port switch get the ip out of the nvr and remote inb that way

I was hoping to use the Hik S/W, and simply plug a cam into my router and my laptop as well, hopefully be able to ID the IP of the camera, and then log into the cam to access it's menus.

 

Will this not work? The Hik s/w was to help me id the items on my LAN.

 

Thx.

then yes it will work for that

[SB_Jim 1]

Zik,

 

Are you suggesting that the Ivms 4000 or the SADP would work for this?

Zik,

 

Are you suggesting that the Ivms 4000 or the SADP would work for this?

 

both will give you the ip address that your looking for

[Q2U 0]

the default camera IP is most likely 192.0.0.64

 

The default login is:

UID: admin

PWD: 12345

or

PWD: 000000 (6 zeros)

Thx Q. Perhaps this weekend I'll grab a pwr supply and give a shot at accessing one of my cams while it's plugged into my router - using that IP. Didn't you tell me previously that I'd also need the default port (i.e. :80) or something?

 

The cams all get one set of IPs from the NVR, so it'll be interesting to see if they revert to their default if simply plugged directly into my router - one at a time. These are the Swanns, so I believe the default UID and p/w will be admin and 12345. Thank you.

Mine didn't!

[SB_Jim 1]

Well, what did yours do?? You put a switch inline between the cams and the NVR, yes? And then, are you saying that FROM the NVR you were able to access the camera menus??

I looked at the ip that the nvr assigned the cameras then connected them to my poe switch. when 192.0.0.64 didn't work I tried the ip in that was in the nvr and it worked....another way is to just put a switch in inline.

 

on a side note you can actually put these cameras on the lan interface with the swann software.

[SB_Jim 1]

Well, that's promissing. So if I had said switch, and if I wrote down the IP for each cam per the NVR screen, are you saying that you then accessed via the NVR, or via your computer? It appears that the cameras kept the IP that was assigned via the NVR, and then you used a switch for the cameras, plugged the switch into your router?? And then used your computer w/ what s/w to access the cams? Sorry that I'm not proficient in this at all!

Accessed nvr via web or local...wrote down ips of camera 1-8, unplugged camera made note of port number on the back of the nvr, plugged into poe switch. configured via a browser based off the ip for the camera number I wrote down

Looking fwd to trying this. Thx for tips. Now if someone just had the s/w I was looking for as the primary topic of this thread...

 

You never confirmed which of the two s/w items I asked about - that would allow me to see the cams.. You didn't go that route I take it?
