How to add smart doorbell to Hikvision NVR?

Adding smart doorbell camera is very simple, both smart doorbell and NVR should use the same IP network range, hence the NVR can discover the smart doorbell. For example, the NVR’s IP address is 192.168.2.10, then your smart doorbell’s IP address should be in the range of 192.168.2.1 – 192.168.2.255. It’s ideal to disable DHCP function on NVR and your network switch, assign a fixed IP address to the device manually. This can avoid IP address change after your devices reboot.

Obviously, checking or modifying the network configuration of your NVR and smart doorbell is very important. To check your Hikvision NVR’s network configuration, you should click “Menu”, “Configuration”, selecting “Network” tab. The picture below shows Hikvision NVR with IP 192.168.1.140 and with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0, the gateway address is 192.168.2.1.

Next, check the network settings of your smart doorbell, my Yoosee smart doorbell’s IP address 192.168.2.107, and subnet mask 255.255.255.0, the gateway is 192.168.2.1. According to the manual of the product, the doorbell’s ONVIF discovery port is 5000, and ONVIF account name is admin, the ONVIF password is its RTSP password. Prior to adding the smart doorbell to any other NVR and NAS, VMS as well, you should enable RTSP stream and set a new RTSP password to enable and secure local video streaming.

Now it’s time to add smart doorbell to your NVR/DVR, open the “menu”, select “camera”, then click on “Custom adding”, just input your smart doorbell’s network information as shown below: As you can see in the figure above, I have included the following information:IP camera address: 192.168.2.107

• Protocol: ONVIF
• Management port: 5000
• Transfer port: Auto
• Username: admin
• Password: <the smart doorbell rtsp password>

Enter all the information and click the “Add” button, your ONVIF smart doorbell is now added to the Hikvision NVR and you can check the status by looking at the icon, see the image below.
