A router is a physical device that allows you to share your internet connection between multiple
computers. Most routers will not allow incoming traffic to the device unless you have configured them to
forward the necessary ports to that device. By default Hikvision software and devices (IP cameras, DVR,
NVR, DVS) requires the following ports to be forwarded.

Note: Port Forwarding may reduce the security of the computers on your network! Please contact
the network administrator or a qualified network technician for further information.

Port: 80 HTTP protocol Used to connect via the IE browser
Port: 8000 Client Software Port Used to connect to the video streams
Port: +200 Client Software Port +200 Used by IP cameras only

To connect to the video streams

For example: If the client port is changed to 9000 then the +200 port will be 9200.
Using the default client port 8000 then the +200 port will be 8200.

Port: 554 RTSP Port Realtime Streaming Protocol
Used for Recording Video Remotely
Port: 1024 RTSP Port for 3G/4G Used by iVMS-4500 mobile app

For 3G/4G connection


Note: Recommended RTSP port 1024 should be used when experiencing connection issues over
3G/4G connection. Used only with Hikvision model (-ST series) that support RTSP stream.
