- Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the camera's Ethernet port.
- Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a PoE port on your NVR or PoE switch.
- The camera will power on and establish a network connection automatically.
Alternatively, if PoE is not available, connect the camera to a standard Ethernet port and use the provided 12V DC power adapter.
5. Operating the Camera
5.1 Initial Configuration
After connecting the camera to your network, use HIKVISION's SADP Tool or your NVR's interface to discover and activate the camera. You will need to set a strong password for the camera during initial activation.
- Download and install the HIKVISION SADP Tool from the official HIKVISION website.
- Run the SADP Tool to search for active devices on your network.
- Select your camera from the list and activate it by setting a new password.
- Modify network parameters (IP address, subnet mask, gateway) if necessary to match your network configuration.
5.2 Accessing Live View and Playback
Access the camera's live view and recorded footage through your connected NVR or via HIKVISION's client software (e.g., iVMS-4200) or mobile application (e.g., Hik-Connect).
- Via NVR: Connect a monitor to your NVR and navigate through its menu for live view and playback.
- Via Client Software/App: Add the camera or NVR to the software/app using its IP address or Hik-Connect ID.
5.3 Smart Hybrid Light and Night Color Vision
The camera features Smart Hybrid Light technology, providing flexible night vision options:
- Infrared (IR) Mode: Provides black and white video in complete darkness.
- White Light Mode (Color Night Vision): Activates built-in white LEDs to provide full-color video in low-light conditions.
- Smart Mode: The camera operates in IR mode and switches to white light (color) upon detecting motion, providing detailed color footage of events.
These modes can be configured in the camera's settings via the NVR or client software.
5.4 Motion Detection and Alerts
Configure motion detection settings to trigger alerts and recording. The camera supports "Motion Only" alert types.
- Access the camera's event settings through your NVR or client software.
- Enable motion detection and define detection areas.
- Set sensitivity levels to minimize false alarms.
- Configure actions upon detection, such as recording, sending notifications, or activating white light.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning the Camera

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Camera not powering on. | No power from PoE switch/NVR or power adapter. | Check PoE connection or power adapter. Ensure PoE port is active. |
| No video feed. | Network connectivity issue, incorrect IP address, camera not activated. | Verify network cable connection. Use SADP Tool to check IP address and activation status. Ensure NVR supports 6MP. |
| Poor image quality at night. | Incorrect night vision mode, dirty lens, external light interference. | Clean the lens. Adjust Smart Hybrid Light settings (IR, White Light, Smart Mode). Minimize external light sources pointing directly at the camera. |
| Motion detection false alarms. | High sensitivity, environmental factors (e.g., moving branches, shadows). | Reduce motion detection sensitivity. Refine detection areas to exclude irrelevant zones. |
| SADP tool not detecting camera. | Camera not powered, network issue, firewall blocking. | Ensure camera is powered. Check network cable. Temporarily disable firewall on PC. Ensure PC and camera are on the same network segment. |
