Step 1

Open up SADP program (download here – https://www.hikvision.com/en/support/tools/desktop-tools/sadp-for-windows/ SADP will give you the IP address of the recorder . You should see the IP address next to the NVR model number.

Step 2

Open up an Internet browser and type in the IP address of the NVR. If you have Internet Explorer browser, this is ideal.

Step 3

Log in using username and password of the recorder.

Step 4

Go to Configuration > Network > Advanced Settings > Other.

Tick “Enable Virtual Host”

Note – if you’ve done this step before, this would already be checked.

Step 5

Go to Configuration > System > Camera Management > Click on the blue link next to the camera you wish to log into, as per image below.

Step 6

Log into the camera. (same username / password as the NVR if the NVR activated the camera)

There you have it – you’re now logged into the camera and ready to perform actions on the camera.
