I have just added an IP camera to my DS-7208HUHI-K1 DVR.
It shows on the monitor connected directly to the DVR.
I can view it using HikConnect on my phone.
But it is not listed for main (live) view or remote playback in iVMS-4200 on my PC (5x analogue cameras and a Channel-zero show just fine).
It does show in basic configuration (iVMS-4200 Maintenance and Management):
  • listed under 'camera management - ip camera' (its entry in the 'connect' column is blank);
  • it is listed under 'Video/Audio';
  • and it can be viewed under 'Image - Diplay settings',
but I can't find how to get it included in the 'Camera' list in main view or remote playback.
I've been chasing my tail over this for long enough: I admit defeat.
Will someone please explain what obvious thing I'm missing here?
Thanks!

Got this (quick) reply to an emailed copy of the above from Hikvision:
"You need to manually import your new camera into the dvr folder under Device Management - Group. The new camera is not added automatically to the group.
You can access the user manual for more help by pressing F1."

So, iVMS-4200, under Maintenance and Management, found my IP camera under my camera group name via:
Device management
Group
Encoding channels
Import
To be imported

Now it works. And has developed a small patch of condensation right in the centre of the glass over the lens...

Just like to thank you for the post i have spent the last 6 hours trying to get a new camera to show on IVSM-4200 with no luck until i found your post. They don't make it simply any more. Lucky for forums like this and people like you it makes it possible. Followed your steps above all working now .Thank you
