Ivideon: basic concepts
What is Ivideon?
Ivideоn is a system that allows you to easily organize video surveillance at any place:
office, apartment, home, shop, enterprise.
Ivideon features allow you to:
• You only need a computer and a web- or IP-camera to set your own video
surveillance system;
• The installation process is extremely simple: connect the camera to your
computer, set up the camera settings to access the Internet and attach
it to your Ivideon account.
What is an IP camera with built-in Ivideon software?
An IP camera with built-in Ivideon software works with Ivideon cloud by itself – there
is no need to connect it to a computer. It is an independent element of your video
surveillance system, you can just attach it to your Ivideon account – and you will
be able to access it from anywhere over the Internet.
How to access your surveillance cameras?
If you attach your camera to your Ivideon account, you will be able to access it from
any place and any way you like:
on Android devices via
Ivideon for Android;
on your computer via desktop
version of the Ivideon Client
application.
via your personal account
on the Ivideon web site;
on your iPhone®, iPad® or
iPod® via Ivideon mobile ap-
plication for iOS;
on other mobile devices via the
mobile version of the Ivideon
website;

Camera Settings
Camera Web Interface
Camera configuration is done via web interface. To access it, type the IP-address
of the camera in your browser. If you don't know the IP-address of your camera,
use the SADP application which can be found on the CD supplied with the camera*
or downloaded from hikvision.com (Support Download Tools SADP). Default
settings for accessing the camera: login – admin, password – 12345.
Network settings
By default the camera is configured to receive IP-address from DHCP-server
automatically. If you don't have a DHCP-server on your network, the camera will have
the following IP-address – 192.0.0.64. In this case, you should set network settings
manually.
Network settings can be modified in the Modify Network Parameters column of SADP.
To save the settings, enter the password (by default – 12345) and click Save.
Advanced network settings are to be set via web interface of the camera
(Configuration Basic Configuration Network).
Attention! The network settings must allow the camera to gain access to
the Internet network. For the correct operation of the device, we recommend
setting up the following DNS settings: Preferred DNS – 8.8.8.8, Alternate
DNS – 8.8.4.4.
* Availability of the CD depends on the type of supply package.
