Hikvision Default IP Address

The default IP address for my Hikvision DS-2SC2142FWD-I was 192.168.1.64

Use SADP tool to detect the camera and change it.

In this example I have clicked on the first camera, as you can see the parameters for the camera are on the right.

You can now change the default IP address and or port to one that matches your network.

In my case computers are on the default network of 192.168.2. ... network so the first camera I placed was on 192.168.2.100

Place the camera on a high IP address so to not interfere with the DHCP IP addresses given to your equipment by your modem.

Your modem will accept a range from 192.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.254 usually you don't use the first few or the last few IP addresses as these are often used by the modem.

Other IP Eg. 192.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.254  or 192.168.3.1-192.168.3.254 or 10.0.0.1-10.0.0.254

As you can see I have also changed the default Http port to 4000 on the first camera so that way I can port forward this in my modem instead of the usual port 80.

Most people will leave this as port 80

My Billion modem I have 2 areas to port forward one called Security / IP filtering incoming and the other Nat / Virtual servers.

To access the cameras locally through you web browser I would enter http://192.168.2.100:4000

The Port 2000 is for the IVMS-4500 app

The the address field enter your Static Wan IP not your local IP address eg 192.168.2.100 as the app will only work locally. When you enter the Wan IP address the app will work remotely and locally.
