Go back to the Control Panel tab the screen you're greeted with when you first open the application and select Main View this time. Chances are when you see the box titled add device you may do what I did and because the software gives little indication that you've failed to input the right details, you get past that window and nothing works, plus errors are thrown up. Any inactive devices will be listed as Inactive.
Install and then load the IVMS-4200 software for mac. Any inactive devices will be listed as Inactive. This is particularly obvious if you're adding more than 1 camera - the new ones have all the same IP address.
Activating the Camera Once you've installed iVMS 4200, you'll be greeted with the below. I'm afraid you may have to fumble your way around this part. It provides multiple functionalities, including real-time live view, video recording, remote search and playback, file backup, etc. Viewing your Hikvision Device You can view your Hikvision camera or NVR in a few ways. I actually presumed I was creating a new username and password for the camera rather than authorizing the adding of the camera with the previously set-up info. Can you just confirm for me whether the error presents itself when you use this method too. For you, follow Keiren's instructions above, however, it is worth taking note of two things. 
Hikvision iVMS 4200 Configuration Step by Step Tutorial - With our industry-leading double-board design and many advanced video footage and system safety technologies, the Blazer Pro meets the highest demands for features and reliability in critical installations. In Event Management module, add Access Control Event, Access Control Alarm Input, Event Card Linkage, and Cross-Device Linkage settings.
Many manufacturers limit their camera's plugins to only work with Internet Explorer, and video management software is often not developed for or compatible with Mac OS. In the past, this has often been a problem for Mac users who either can't setup or view their cameras without a Windows PC which they might not have access to. This problem was then further exacerbated by Hikvision's security firmware update, V5. This wasn't possible on current versions of the Mac version of iVMS 4200. Thankfully, starting from which you can grab from the Resources section of our Forum this is now possible, and Mac users will be able to activate, configure and view their cameras without requiring a Windows PC at all. The process is fairly straightforward and is covered below. We've had a chance to test and play with it on a Mac we have in the office, and it is currently the only version of iVMS that allows you to activate the cameras which, as previously mentioned, now come inactive. You'll need this installed to proceed further. Do keep in mind that whilst we've not encountered any bugs or issues, it is still a beta version and there might be a couple we're unaware of. We will keep the resource updated with future releases however, and it's highly unlikely that Hikvision would remove such key functionality in future updates so you shouldn't have to worry if the version number is different to what is mentioned in this guide. Activating the Camera Once you've installed iVMS 4200, you'll be greeted with the below. Users of the Windows version of iVMS 4200 will find it very familiar. Navigate to Device Management, and then click on the Show Online Devices button. This is essentially a built-in version of SADP which many users may be familiar with, and is where we'll be activating the camera. You can also change the network settings of any listed devices here too, but only once they've been activated. Any inactive devices will be listed as Inactive. In the below image, there's only one I wish to activate - a. Once you've selected it in the list, click the Activate button. Your device will now be Active, and you can change any network parameters using the password you just set in the Network Info field to the right. Viewing your Hikvision Device You can view your Hikvision camera or NVR in a few ways. Now that you know the IP address of the activated device see above , you can enter it into a web browser such as Safari or Firefox and connect to it this way. However, as we're already in iVMS 4200, we'll add your device and view it this way too. You'll be greeted with a confirmation window - select Yes. If you've selected a camera from the Online Devices list, many of them will likely already be filled with relevant information except Nickname, which can be anything you want to help you remember the device, but it's worth double-checking the others to be sure. Tick Export To Group and then hit the Add button. Your device is now added to iVMS 4200. Viewing Your Camera There's just a couple of easy steps after this point to view your camera. Go back to the Control Panel tab the screen you're greeted with when you first open the application and select Main View this time. In the column will be a folder with the same name as the nickname you set for the camera previously. Click it, and a dropdown menu will appear. Your camera will be contained within. Select the camera from the list and hit play, or simply drag it from the list into the grey space to view a live feed. You can do this to view a number of cameras simultaneously. You'll now be able to view and configure your cameras in the same manner as you would on a Windows machine, either via iVMS 4200 or through a web browser. If you do bump into any issues along the way, please feel free to leave a reply and we'll try and help you out. This should automatically create a group for your camera based on the nickname you gave it. Can you just confirm for me whether the error presents itself when you use this method too? Hi All, I too had the issues described above. I finally got my camera working tonight and thought it worth noting down some things that become clear to me during the eventual successful setup of my camera which might help other users setting up. I found this page via google and it was one of the first results that came up when I searched about setting up Hikvision cams from a Mac, so apologies if I'm breaking it down simpler than I need to for the users of this board, but I just felt it would help others who might find this page via google and need help. I bought a DS-2CD2132F camera to test out almost a year ago with the intention if it was good, to fitting them on the recording studio I am building. When I first received the camera I had all manner of problems, namely that the IVMS-4200 software was poor for mac, instructions were pretty bad and when I contacted Tech support at Hikvision, I was accused of buying grey market goods and told I wouldn't receive any support whatsoever! Having failed to even activate the camera back in January, it sat in my cupboard all year whilst my studio was built and I was distracted by other things. Aside from a period in July when I borrowed a PC and managed to activate the camera, that's about as far as I got. I'm now nearing completion of the build and again considering my CCTV options which led to me looking again at the Hikvision Camera I had bought. Whilst my memory is hazy on the activation info when I had borrowed the pc, a few additional bits that aren't detailed above and which might seem obvious to some users seemed worth mentioning. Install and then load the IVMS-4200 software for mac. At the time of writing 12th December 2016 1. When I first installed the 4200 software last year V1. I've deleted the software several times since but it retained my user created info and tonight, I installed the latest version. I'm afraid you may have to fumble your way around this part. I have plugged my Hikvisions DS-2CD2132F directly into my router with an ethernet cable. For now and because PoE is new to me, I've skipped powering it from PoE and am powering from a local 12Vdc supply. I am sure PoE would have worked fine but I prefer to take as many things out of the equation as possible when setting up technology I don't know much about. This status simply reflects the fact I previously activated it. For you, follow Keiren's instructions above, however, it is worth taking note of two things. Before you begin setting up the camera as Keiran has shown, 1. I would imagine most people looking at IP cams probably know what this means but for anyone new to this... This is called DHCP. Each address is unique on the network. Many many routers hand out IPs that follow the pattern 192. Whatever that number is, keep the first 3 parts of the number the same and give your camera a unique number between 1 and 255. This might be hard if there are lots of things on your network, but try 100, so 192. You will need to do this after you have activated the camera and chosen a strong admin password. Other than this, Follow Kieran's instructions above, they're spot on, One other thing to take note of and which I think probably tripped a few people up in this thread.... Its obvious, but I didn't realise this for a while. When you get to adding the device camera you must use that same username and password that you created earlier. This was not obvious to me. I actually presumed I was creating a new username and password for the camera rather than authorizing the adding of the camera with the previously set-up info. Chances are when you see the box titled add device you may do what I did and because the software gives little indication that you've failed to input the right details, you get past that window and nothing works, plus errors are thrown up. Another tip that nobody mentioned surprisingly - but hope it helps someone : The camera has a default IP address that needs to be changed. This is particularly obvious if you're adding more than 1 camera - the new ones have all the same IP address. It all works and will let you add the camera! Now just for finding a plugin that will allow me to view the camera from safari. I love it when apple updates mac software, and developers plugins no longer work.....! I had all sorts of problems activating cameras with the software. One of my cameras would not show on the NVR at all saying password error. In the end I personally feels the best way on Mac how I got everything working was to first connect each camera directly to the Mac with a POE injector or POE Switch and log into, activate and update firmware via Safari all using the same user and password. When plugged back into the NVR all worked perfectly. I very rarely use the IVMS-4200 software typically only to investigate problems people are reporting with it! I tend to do everything in a browser - normally Chrome on a PC all day every day. Others here live on Macs and use Safari.
