How to access my Hikvision IP camera?

Open up Internet Explorer 11 and type in the IP address of the NVR. Log in using username and password of the recorder. Go to Configuration > Network > Advanced Settings > Other / Check the box Enable Virtual Host. This will show all the camera IP addresses in blue writing under * see below



I created a word Doc called Camera shortcuts.docx of all the cameras IP address by copying them from

Then go to this website

Firmware - How do I find the latest firmware for my Hikvision camera?

CTRL + F Look top right corner
