Long but Simply the best video tutorial on Port forwarding and internet setting to view your Hik DVR.

Dude Im from South Africa too .and have been struggling for a while now with WAN and all that rubbish .you are an absolute Legend thanks very much .Giving you a hand .
My friend, you are GREAT!!! I'm from Brazil and was trying to reactivate our web connection in order to seeing our cameras from our smartphones (we have a Hikvision DVR in our small building, where we live). After reading and whatching a lot of articles and RU-vid videos I was almost giving up (I am not a specialist, but I was trying to avoid to ask for help from the company that had installed the system, because I think they were not honest with us, the DDNS they used expired and they asked more money to reactivate everything). But after watching your video with that richness of information everything became clear and after many failures that I had before, the system worked in my first attempt. So I'd like to thank you for your "lecture", as you said. Continue doing this, you are very competent!
Dear Philip. I want to post a HUGE thank you for all your tips, you have been helping me though the years and I am forever grateful for your videos. A few years ago, I took on the challenging task of fibreglassing my pool, went onto You-Tube and watched your step by step video.- so helpful! Last month I bought an outdoor Alva gas heater, again back to You-Tube and there your installation video guided me through the process... Today my Hikvision cameras were delivered, back to You-Tube I go for info and alas there you are again. It only dawned on me today that I have been watching the same person all these years🤣.Thank you so much. Hayley. ps. Im sure you will help me again in the future, so I guess I better save myself the headache of searching for a suitable instruction video and just subscribe to your channel🤗
Thank you Hayley. Yours is in my top five best comments received on my channel to date. (I get about 20 comments per day, mostly questions.) Means a lot to me that you took the time to write the above. All the best on tackling technical DIY in the future! regards P
Your technical explanation is great and I have learned more this evening than I have in a while. However, to connect the HIK vision, if you just go to their website you follow their instructions, scan a couple of QR codes and presto, it is all done. Great way to do it, but you do not learn as much as you will from this video.
I have been tearing my hair out for the past six months trying to get my Hikvision system to talk to the web and now thanks to you its all working great! Thank you. Hikvision have just changed their DDNS service address so that confused things but I worked it out!
Hi Pat. How are you doing. Please I need your help. I am trying to add the port to my router Tenda and but I am getting an error Virtual Server Add Error Add virtual service fail, this PORT has been used in accessCtrl page. I am trying to configure hikvision. Thanking you in advance. Samraa
Dude, by mistake, I just got you a stole 1 like from you, because I already gave you one maybe a year ago :):):)..... no worries I gave it right back :) You were absolutely right the first time, you didn't just gave me the solution, you taught me how to do it, which is even better, but all those years of partying hard.... well, I had to come back to drain some knowledge form you again :):):) Thanks.... again ! P.S. With all that knowledge I manage to install all 5 different cameras on my own, and after that..... I understood what IVMS software is doing now. Maybe you might take the time, and help others like me take a shortcut, and do a follow up video about the new kid on the block.
Brilliant. The company who put my CCTV up set my ddns on his own account and will have shown new customers my setup. glad i seen this video and created my own ddns. thanks!!!
Philip. You did an excellent job of explaining this. Wow! Thank you so much!!! Other's have it without explanation and to me it was a little confusing. God bless you!
Dude, fantastic video, you had answers to question I didn't even know I had until watching this. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I will definitely be watching again.
hi man many many many thanks for your great video.........i waisted so many hours trying to configure my hik nvr and then with your video everything works perfect in 1h........thank you very much for sharing
Way to go, fella. I don't have one of these systems, but you taught me things I didn't know when thinking about getting one. Appreciate your great effort!
Bro!!! You are the fucking man! I've watched countless of hours of other people trying to find out why I couldn't view off of wifi, and I watched your video, and it's all working now.. I subscribed to your channel. You are very informative. Thank you! I know so much more about this stuff. Great work!
Brilliant video. Most straightforward explanation I've seen thus far on this subject. My only point of confusion lies in Static IP address setup versus Dynamic IP address setup using DDNS in this video. Specifically, our internet service provider issued a static IP address with our business account. Should we follow these exact steps using the static IP address? Thank you.
This is a well done video, but the hik-online DDNS service has been discontinued! Still useful as a reference and information on how DDNS works for nvr systems
Billiant! I have been a while looking how to access my NVR remotely, and there are zillions of tutorials that lead to nowhere. Even when Hikvision has changed its DDNS from www.hik-online.com to www.hik-connect.com and the configuration in my NVR model is slightly different from yours, I could still make it work! Thanks a lot for your GREAT video!
Hello Sir I really enjoyed your lecture on this video. You are very comprehensive and explain things very well. I liked this video and I subscribed to your channel. Thank you. I currently own a HIKVISION IDS NVR so this video has been very helpful.
Wow! You are better then @Amcrest tech support videos! Whats wrong with these companies? Thank you so much for this! I lost you a little with ddns parts and how to double check but after a day or 2 it finally got through. Huawei routers only allowed no-ip and dyndns addresses. Could not put in Amcrests! Then Amcrest software allowed no-ip but wouldnt let me change to custom address so it was quite confusing.
Wonderful!!!!!! It's nice video for beginners, can easily understand the basic ideas about DDNS , Port Forwarding and Mobile app Configuration. Expecting more technical videos from you :) Keep up the Good Job... Appreciate It.. Thanks for the Video
The best video I have seen on this topic among a huge number I have gone through. With the new Hik connect option, is the port forwarding on the router still required?
This is a great instruction video BUT the service was withdrawn in 2017 I have watched it sever times to understand it then created an account only to be told the service from Hikvision is no longer available :(
Your router company may provide a free ddns service and if so you can use that. Asus does. Hikvision seems to have a new system as well. There is stuff about it at www.hik-online.com/ddns. Hope that helps
Thank you for your excellent video - helped me so much - can I ask if you were replacing your ADSL router now what you would go for? I need to upgrade and would appreciate your input - have looked at the new tp-links routers and not sure which ones will allow/have the DDNS - Thank you
harshad k it may be due to following issue.. 1.You need to check primary DNS and secondary DNS.. 2.You have to tell your ISP to give access or permission to open certain ports..for that u need to call ur ISP.. 3.Use DMZ Option
