Hikvision Camera Configuration Guide

This guide illustrates how to configure Hikvision cameras for integration with the Eagle Eye Security Camera System.  

It may be necessary to use Microsoft Edge in Internet Explorer mode or to use Safari on a MAC to complete this configuration. 
The SADP tool is great for batch editing camera settings; however if you have already activated the camera and are able to access the configuration screens OR if you only need to configure one camera, you might not find the SADP tool to be necessary. In this case, you can skip to the "Individual Camera Configuration" section.
