Hi guys, adding the same camera to the recorder of the same brand is quite simple, but sometimes we encounter the case that the camera & recorder are not the same company, to add the camera to the recorder will be a bit complicated. Today I will guide you to add Hikvision Camera to KBvision Video Recorder in a simple way

Step 1: You log in to Hikvision Camera, here I put IP: 192.168.1.235

Step 2: Next go to Configuration -> Advanced Settings -> Integration Protocol then:

• Check the Enable Hikvision-CGI box
• Hikvision-CGI Authentical…: Digest/basic
• Check the Enalbe Open Network Video Interface box

Step 4: Next to Security -> Authentication select the following:

• RTSP Authentication: digest/basic

Next, you can change the Onvif port if necessary, here I keep the default 80

Step 5: Next go to the Video/Audio section to adjust the reference parameters in the important Main & Sub Stream below:

• Max Bitrate: 2048 Kbps (Main Stream) – 512 Kbps (Sub Stream)
• Video Encoding: H264
• Then click Save to save the configuration

Step 6: Proceed to log in to the Kbvision recorder to add Hikvision Camera
