Hikvision is a popular brand of surveillance cameras and security solutions. When setting up a Hikvision camera for the first time, it’s important to know the default settings to access and configure the device. These settings include the default IP address, username, password, and port. This article provides information on these default settings for Hikvision cameras.
Default IP
The default IP address for most Hikvision cameras is 192.168.1.64. This IP address is used to access the camera's web interface where you can configure various settings. To connect to the camera using this IP address, your computer must be on the same subnet (i.e., its IP address should be something like 192.168.1.x).
Default Username
The default username for accessing a Hikvision camera is admin. This is a common practice among many devices to have a default administrative username. When you first set up the camera, you will use this username to log in to the web interface.
Default Password
In earlier models, the default password for Hikvision cameras used to be 12345. However, due to security concerns, newer models now require you to create a new password upon the initial setup. If you are setting up a new Hikvision camera, follow the prompts to set a strong and unique password to protect your device.
Default Port
The default port for accessing the web interface of a Hikvision camera is 80. This is the standard port used for HTTP traffic. If port 80 is already in use or if you need to enhance security, you can change the port to another number in the camera’s network settings.
In summary, when configuring a Hikvision camera for the first time, you will need the following default settings:
- Default IP: 192.168.1.64
- Default Username: admin
- Default Password: (create upon initial setup)
- Default Port: 80
These settings are crucial for accessing and managing your Hikvision camera effectively. Make sure to change the default password during the initial setup to ensure the security of your surveillance system.
