The role in practice
A resident often first notices that Hik-Connect does not work outside the house, while the NVR is still recording. This difference prevents unnecessary changes to working cameras.
advice
Hikvision cameras recover after router switch
A new router does not automatically change all camera settings, but can affect the routes for external viewing, addresses or time.
What should be clear in advance
Track what the new router has changed in internet, local coverage, or addresses. Check the live view at the NVR, on the internal network, and via mobile internet.
Set without side effects
Restore the specific connection that was disrupted and document the new network data. Do not reset the cameras to factory settings if the recorder and recording still function correctly.
Focused checking
Test all channels, app, notification, timeline and recording after the adjustment. Save the current router and management information for a next change.
