Looking for some help configuring iVMS-4200 software.
Exactly how can I get it to startup automatically after a system reboot w/ Windows 8.1? Unfortunately, I forgot to reset my stem after a powerless a few days back and I missed some activity I wanted to capture.
Also, I’m running a headless system, so I only have RDP access to my server if that makes a difference.

I was able to get this working, but not sure if its the best method:
1. User Account > Change User Account Control Settings > Move slider to «Never Notify»
2. Run ‘netplwiz’ and uncheck «users must enter a user name …» box, click OK and set to your iVMS user
3. Right click on the storage server task icon -> autorun and make sure «autorun» is checked.
4. Reboot, log back in and use the task manager to verify that the ivms storage server is running

It may help to add a ups power supply to keep things humming along when the power goes out.
If you don’t have classic shell … keyboard windows key + R, type CMD, enter or OK
Regarding win 8.1 logon.
Start > Run > netplwiz
Select User Account. Deselect has to logon with username and password.
Enter current password twice.
Reboot.
Hikvision storage server should start by default.
Have not found a preference to run the hikvision client at logon/startup.
[edit that didn’t work … damn win 8]

We must have been typing at the same time.
I tried to get the client to startup as well, since I view remotely, but the traditional way of creating a symlink in the startup folder didn’t work.

Thanks icerabbit … I don’t think I need the client running by default as long as the recording and motion capture work.

Has anyone been able to run it as a Windows service?
I am planning to run it on a Windows 2012 server which will not have a user logged on.

Did you get the iVMS-4200 running on Windows 2012 server? I know know thing about Windows Server but I’ve been wanting to explore it. I have a free license through school. Just been waiting to build something worthy of it.

Sorry, I don’t have access to a windows server machine to try it on.
Maybe shoot a note to Synology sales or support, as a prospective customer?
I’ve got the recording server and streaming server at startup, but then walked away from playing with getting the client up and running with every reboot. I still have some hardware to install and other related upgraded in mind; but have had to focus on other things for a while.

Has anyone figured out how to start ivms-4200 in main view when Windows 7 boots?
Really would appreciate a good answer.

In the basic Windows task scheduler you can make a program start at start up, but you also have the option to delay the start. The options are limited, but you can choose to wait one minute or thirty minutes for example and then have it load whatever you want. For more flexibility you could use some free apps that work well, I used one of these that I’m linking below with good results on an older DVR software. It would not open the client right away as the recording service was not loaded in the background already at boot and it took a bit. I used one of these to tell it to wait three minutes after boot then start the client and it worked perfectly and they are easier to use than task scheduler.
All of these work in Windows 7 and 8.

Thanks Razer, it was the time delay that worked.
Comes up fine now.

Awesome, I’m glad that helped you as I hoped it would. Was the basic delay in task scheduler enough or did you have to use one of the tools?

Any idea how to have Windows 7 restart it automatically if it crashes? I missed like 3 days of recording.

Had to use WinPatrol to get it to work.

Thanks guys. I just got Google Fiber and once I have time to figure out how to get their «network box» port forwarding to actually work, I will check them out. My internet is blazing fast but my LAN is now a mess.

I too was trying to get ivms4200 PCNVR to automatically start upon computer start under Windows 7.
Tried Task Scheduler changes by myself, Elevated Shortcut. Turns out UACPass worked for me— Simple to implement changes in Task Scheduler under Win7, 8.

The software itself does not support auto-start at boot, you can configure the auto-start task of your computer. Configuration method: 1. Enter the computer management-task scheduler-create a basic task-custom name, click next; 2. select «when the computer starts» in the trigger column and click next; 3. Click «Start Program» in the column and click Next; 4. Fill in the path to start the program in the Program Start column, click Next, and click Finish. PS: The configuration interface of different operating systems is different. You can start the configuration method according to your operating system under Baidu.

Настройка программы iVMS-4200 для удаленного просмотра камер Hikvision
02.08.2020
Для работы с камерами, регистраторами, системами домофонии и СКУД компания Hikvision предлагает клиентское программное обеспечение iVMS-4200. С помощью данной программы можно полноценно управлять всеми устройствами Hikvision — производить конфигурацию, просматривать видео, управлять системой СКУД и домофонией и многое другое. Одна из возможностей iVMS-4200 — это удаленный доступ к устройствам Hikvision, подключенным по технологии p2p. В этой статье мы расскажем, как очень легко настроить удаленный просмотр камер Hikvision на ноутбуке или компьютере.
Как установить iVMS-4200. Руководство пользователя.
Hikvision предлагает свой облачный сервис p2p, который доступен через приложения Hik-connect и HiLook. Если вы подключили свои устройства Hikvision через одно из перечисленных приложений, то вы сможете с помощью программы iVMS-4200 получить удаленный доступ к подключенным устройствам на компьютере или ноутбуке. Итак, как это сделать? Для установки воспользуемся инструкцией на русском языке для программы iVMS-420.
Давайте выполним следующие шаги последовательно:
1. Установка программы iVMS-4200 (здесь и далее мы работаем с версией программы 3.3.0.7), которую вы можете скачать с официального сайта Hikvision в разделе “Поддержка”. Во время установки можно использовать параметры по умолчанию, но в качестве региона — “Cloud P2P Region” нужно указать вашу страну, в нашем случае Казахстан.
Во время установки программа попросит указать пароль пользователя admin — придумайте пароль, запомните или запишите.
Также далее последуют проверочные вопросы для восстановления пароля, которые также следует заполнить соответствующими ответами;
2. После установки софта и первого запуска перейдите в раздел “Device Management”, как показано на рисунке:
3. В следующем окне нужно добавить устройство нажав на кнопку “Add”:
4. В появившемся окне нужно выбрать Cloud P2P и выбрать регион — в нашем случае Казахстан, далее нажать на кнопку “Login”:
5. В следующем окне необходимо указать данные учетной записи Cloud P2P — это почта или номер телефона, которые вы указывали при регистрации в приложениях Hik-connect/HiLook:
После успешной регистрации вы увидите сообщение:
На этом шаге может возникнуть ошибка “user name does not exist”. В этом случае необходимо проверить регион вашей учетной записи, правильно ли вы указали его на шаге 4. Также нужно проверить регион в основных настройках “System Configuration”:
В результате успешного добавления в списке устройств появятся ваши камеры или регистраторы, привязанные к учетной записи Hik-connect/HiLook:
6. Чтобы сделать удаленный просмотр с камеры нужно перейти на начальный экран и выбрать функцию “Main view”:
7. В разделе “Main View” выбрать подключенное устройство нажать на кнопку Live и через некоторое время онлайн видео с удаленной камеры начнет отображаться в программе:
На этом все. Программа установлена и настроена. Вы можете осуществлять удаленное управление всеми устройствами Hikvision.
На сегодняшний день все IP камеры Hikvision, HiLook, HiWatch, Ezviz, а также HD-TVI видеорегистраторы поддерживают облачный сервис Hikvision и их можно удаленно просматривать не только через мобильные приложения Hik-Connect/HiLook, но и через настольное клиентское приложение iVMS-4200.
В интернет-магазине Manggis вы можете приобрести камеры видеонаблюдения с удаленным просмотром по доступной цене. Мы предлагаем покупателям большой выбор камер, качественное обслуживание и быструю доставку товара в Алматы и другие города Казахстана.

How To Configure Hikvision iVMS-4200 Camera Management Software
iVMS-4200 is a camera management software that is made and maintained by Hikvision. It can be used to monitor, playback, adjust settings, and manage the cameras from a computer or a laptop. So, instead of doing all the surveillance via the DVR or NVR, you can perform everything from a computer.
It’s very convenient if the unit is installed somewhere else, and you can manage everything from the comfort of your chair.
This easy-to-follow guide shows how to configure the iVMS-4200 software, how to add your camera system, how to modify settings, etc. The instructions serve as a good start for someone who just installed the software on the computer and is looking forward to managing their cameras.
How to initialize iVMS-4200 software
The first thing that you have to do is download and install the iVMS-4200 on your Windows PC or Mac.
Once the software has been installed, you can open iVMS-4200 and use the Device Management screen found in the Device Management tab and to add, configure new and existing devices, as well as remove devices.

How to add a new device on iVMS-4200
To add a new device (which can be a standalone IP camera, DVR, NVR) click on the Add button located under the Device for Management header.
If you are adding a device that is on your local network, you should see it listed at the bottom under Online Device. If you do see it, just click on it then click Add + under Online Device.
If you are adding a device remotely (that is on the internet), you should click Add + under Device for Management near the top middle area of your screen.
Add window
Then you should see the Add Window with default settings on Adding Mode of IP/Domain. The most commonly used modes encountered here are IP/Domain and Cloud P2P.
Nickname: Enter a name for the location such as “my home”, “my store”, etc. This nickname is used to identify your system/location in the iVMS-4200 client in case you have a lot of systems added for display.
Address: Enter the IP address or Dynamic DNS name for the device. It can be just an external IP address of the DDNS hostname. If you’re not sure, check with the installer or inspect the phone app and mirror the settings.
Port: 8000 (this is the default one unless you have modified it).
User Name: This is the username of your security camera system. This name may be admin or a different name if you’ve created another account.
Password: This is the password used on or set up on the Hikvision system. In other words, it’s the password of your NVR, DVR, or standalone IP camera.
Synchronize Device Time: Leave this box un-ticked.
Export to Group: Leave this box checked.
Once all fields have been entered and confirmed correct, click the Add button. Once it is added, click the Next button. Click Finish when complete. That’s all, your system has now been added.
Cloud P2P Domain (via Hik-Connect)
New Hikvision devices can now use a Hikvision cloud-based P2P method for connecting and viewing cameras remotely over the internet without the need to open any ports or make special rules on the firewall.
To add a Hik-Connect or Cloud P2P device, you should:
- Click on Add New Device Type button listed under the Device Type in the Device Management screen.
- Place a checkmark next to Cloud P2P Device and click OK.
- Click on Cloud P2P Device now listed under Device Type in the Device Management screen.
- Click the Login button shown and enter your Hik-Connect user information and click Login or if you do not have an account, click on Register and fill out the information requested.
Once added, come back to this screen and add the devices to iVMS-4200 by placing a checkmark next to the device(s) and clicking the Add button.
If you do not go through these steps you’ll see a message that says: “Please log in to the Cloud 2P2 account first before using this function.”
Note: You can create a Hik-Connect account, log in, change sharing settings, and more by using the Hik-Connect app
Modifying a Device
To modify an existing device, click on the device listed and choose the Modify option under the Device for Management heading.
Nickname: Enter a Nickname for this location’s system. This nickname is used to identify your system/location in the iVMS-4200 client. For example, you can use “home”, “store”, “building 1”, etc.
Address: Enter the IP address or Dynamic DNS name for the device. You should get this information from the installer or on the device’s settings.
Port: 8000 (this is the default port)
User Name: This is the username of the DVR or the NVR. This name may be admin or a different name if you have created other accounts
Password: This is the password used to access the DVR or the NVR
Synchronize Device Time – Leave this box unchecked
Once all fields have been entered and confirmed correct, click the Modify button. If all is done correctly, your system has now been modified!
Add Devices via the Video Wizard
This is another method to add your system to the iVMS-4200. Access the video wizard by clicking on Help > Open Video Wizard at the top of the iVMS-4200 application. Click on the Device and Storage Schedule Configuration button and follow the prompts in the wizard.
Adding the Stream Key
If you get this error message: The video is encrypted Input the stream key to view the video error.
To increase security, Hik-Connect camera connections require a stream encryption key to be inputted before the live video will play. This is done to encrypt the whole streams and to avoid a hacker from being a middleman between you and your security system.
Enter the encryption key in the box and click the OK button for each camera connected. You can also add and copy the key to all cameras on the Device Management screen.
Add, Modify and Copy the Encrypted Video Stream Key via the Device Management screen
To add, modify or copy the stream key, click on Device Management > Group > find your camera number or name then highlight it by clicking on it then click Modify.
You can also copy the stream key to your other cameras by clicking on the Copy to… button. We always recommend encrypting your videos in order to increase the overall security of your system.

Hikvision iVMS-4200 – Adding New NVR for Remote Access
In order to remotely access a Hikvision NVR from a computer, you will require several things:
- Your NVR is configured for remote access (set up by the installer)
- Your local network is configured to allow remote access to the NVR which usually entails port forwarding (usually setup by the installer though may require assistance from your IT department)
- Hikvision’s iVMS-4200 has been downloaded and installed on your computer (linked at Hikvision – Software)
Once you have installed iVMS and booted it up for the first time, it will ask you to setup a super user for the application. This is unrelated to any camera system you may want to setup on it. Once the super user is setup, you can proceed with adding the camera system to the software. You can add multiple camera systems to iVMS (e.g., you have multiple sites with their own camera systems).
You can click on any image below to enlargen it for a better view.
From the Main Menu tab, go the Maintenance and Management menu on the far right and select Device Management
On the Maintenance and Management tab, near the top and on the left, select Device if not already selected in both locations (usually is selected by default)
To start adding a new Hikvision video recorder, click + Add (to the left of Online Device)
The Add dialogue window will appear on the right side
For Adding Mode , make sure the radio button for IP/Domain is selected (filled in)
For Add Offline Device , make sure the check box is Disabled (left empty)
For Name , enter what you would like to call the recorder (for our example below, we are using Reed Test)
For Address , enter the NVR address provided by Reed Security (for our example below, we are using reedtest.reedhd.com )
For Transmission Encryption , make sure the check box is Disabled (left empty)
For Port , leave at 8000 (unless otherwise advised by Reed Security)
For User Name , use the one provided/setup by Reed Security for you (for our example, we are using reed test)
For Password , use the one provided/setup by Reed Security for you (regardless of your password, it will show as a number of dots ( ● )
For Synchronize Time, make sure the check box is Disabled (left empty)
For Import to Group , make sure the check box is En abled (checked marked)
If the connection information and login credentials are correctly entered, after a short interval, the NVR will appear in white, it will populate the Serial No., and will show the Resource Usage Status as Online (see green box in example below)
If there is a configuration or login error, the NVR will appear in grey, will not populate the Serial No. and will show the Resource Usage Status as Offline (see red box in example below). An error message will also appear in the lower right for a short period indicating if there is a connectivity issue or login issue.
If you need to edit any configuration information, click the Edit icon ( ) in the Operation section to the right end of the NVR’s information in the Device screen of the Maintenance and Management tab. This is useful if you made an error when setting up the NVR.
View cameras live on IVMS-4200 software
