Add a Device by IP/Domain

Add a device to the Mobile Client using its fixed IP address or domain name for faster streaming.

You can add the device by fixed IP address or domain name. The streaming speed of devices added by IP/domain is faster than those added by Hik-Connect domain.

Before You Start

If you want to add the access control device, activate it before adding. See the user manual of the access control device for details.

You should activate it via other clients such as iVMS-4200 client software. Make sure the device is powered on.

Note

The Mobile Client doesn't support receiving alarm event information from devices added by IP/domain. For details about managing event information on the Mobile Client, see Alarm Notification.

  1. Tap plus and select Manual Adding.

  2. Select IP/Domain as the adding type.

  3. Enter the required information, such as alias, address, user name, camera No. and device password.

    Address : Device IP address or domain name.

    Camera No. : The number of the camera(s) under the device can be obtained after the device is successfully added.

    Note

    • If the device is offline, you should connect the device to a network. For details, see Connect Offline Device to Network.
    • If the device is not activated, the Activate Device page will be popped up (exclude the access control device). You should activate the device. For details, see Activate an Inactive Device.
