#HIKVISION IVMS MAC INSTALL#
Install and then load the IVMS-4200 software for mac. Whilst my memory is hazy on the activation info when I had borrowed the pc, a few additional bits that aren't detailed above and which might seem obvious to some users seemed worth mentioning. I'm now nearing completion of the build and again considering my CCTV options which led to me looking again at the Hikvision Camera I had bought.
#HIKVISION IVMS MAC PC#
Aside from a period in July when I borrowed a PC and managed to activate the camera, that's about as far as I got. Having failed to even activate the camera back in January, it sat in my cupboard all year whilst my studio was built and I was distracted by other things. When I first received the camera I had all manner of problems, namely that the IVMS-4200 software was poor for mac, instructions were pretty bad and when I contacted Tech support at Hikvision, I was accused of buying grey market goods and told I wouldn't receive any support whatsoever! Amazon. I bought a DS-2CD2132F camera to test out almost a year ago with the intention if it was good, to fitting them on the recording studio I am building. I found this page via google and it was one of the first results that came up when I searched about setting up Hikvision cams from a Mac, so apologies if I'm breaking it down simpler than I need to for the users of this board, but I just felt it would help others who might find this page via google and need help. I finally got my camera working tonight and thought it worth noting down some things that become clear to me during the eventual successful setup of my camera which might help other users setting up. Navigate to Device Management, and then click on the Show Online Devices button. Users of the Windows version of iVMS 4200 will find it very familiar.

Once you've installed iVMS 4200, you'll be greeted with the below. We will keep the resource updated with future releases however, and it's highly unlikely that Hikvision would remove such key functionality in future updates so you shouldn't have to worry if the version number is different to what is mentioned in this guide. You'll need this installed to proceed further.ĭo keep in mind that whilst we've not encountered any bugs or issues, it is still a beta version and there might be a couple we're unaware of. We've had a chance to test and play with it on a Mac we have in the office, and it is currently the only version of iVMS that allows you to activate the cameras which, as previously mentioned, now come inactive. We've recently uploaded a beta version of iVMS 4200 for Mac, V1.02.02.02, in the Resources section of our website linked above. The process is fairly straightforward and is covered below. Thankfully, starting from iVMS 4200 V1.02.02.02 (which you can grab from the Resources section of our Forum) this is now possible, and Mac users will be able to activate, configure and view their cameras without requiring a Windows PC at all. This wasn't possible on current versions of the Mac version of iVMS 4200. This problem was then further exacerbated by Hikvision's security firmware update, V5.3.0, which necessitated users activate their cameras before being able to configure or indeed access them at all. In the past, this has often been a problem for Mac users who either can't setup or view their cameras without a Windows PC which they might not have access to.

Many manufacturers limit their camera's plugins to only work with Internet Explorer, and video management software is often not developed for or compatible with Mac OS.

Typically, support for surveillance cameras on a Mac is quite limited.
