Property owners and security administrators utilizing Hikvision door stations frequently search for methods to record video events directly to local network storage rather than relying entirely on edge storage or cloud-based applications.

To add Hikvision door station to NVR, identify the intercom’s IP address using the HiTools Delivery software, log into the NVR web interface as an administrator, navigate to the Camera Management menu, and input the intercom’s IP and login credentials into an available IP camera channel.

How to Add Hikvision Door Station to NVR?

1. Open HiTools Delivery on a computer operating within the same local network range as the intercom hardware.
2. Locate the Hikvision intercom (such as the DS-KV6113 model) within the populated device list.
3. Document the specific IPv4 address assigned to the door station (e.g., 192.168.0.201).
4. Verify the intercom’s credentials by accessing its standalone web interface via a standard web browser.
5. Open a web browser and input the IP address of the Hikvision NVR.
6. Authenticate using the NVR admin credentials.
7. Navigate to Configuration, expand the System dropdown, and select Camera Management (Version 4 NVR interface).
8. Highlight an available IP camera channel (e.g., IP Camera 8).
9. Click the modify icon located on the right side of the channel row.
10. Input the documented intercom IP address and the verified door station admin credentials into the configuration prompt.
11. Click save to apply the settings. The status column will display “offline connecting.”
12. Click the Live Settings menu tab.
13. Return to the Camera Management menu to refresh the interface and verify the device status reads “online.”
14. Access the Live View interface and click the assigned intercom channel to confirm the video feed transmission.

Operation Notes

The configuration computer must reside on the correct subnet to communicate with both the intercom web interface and the NVR. Accurate intercom administrator credentials are an absolute requirement for successful NVR authentication and connection.

System Use Cases

Registering the intercom as a standard IP camera forces the NVR to write the continuous audio and video feed to the internal hard drive. This establishes a hardwired storage backup for all visitor interactions alongside the standard Hik-Connect app event notifications.
