What are the steps for configuring a Hikvision IP intercom system?

Up and Configuring Your Hikvision IP Intercom System

Configuring your Hikvision IP intercom system is essential for effective communication and interaction. This guide provides an overview of the necessary cabling requirements and setup instructions.

Cabling Requirements

1. Ethernet Connections:

   • Run an Ethernet cable from each Door Station to a PoE Switch.
   • Connect each Indoor Monitor to the PoE Switch with its own Ethernet cable.
   • Connect the PoE Switch to your modem using another Ethernet cable if you wish to enable remote communication.

2. Unlocking a Gate:

   • If you need to control one or more door strikes (for example, to unlock a gate), run 4-core cabling from the Intercom Door Station to the respective strikes.
   • It’s important to note that these strikes require their own power supply, as the door station cannot power them.
     

Step-by-Step Setup Instructions

1. Connect Power to Devices:

   • Ensure all devices (Door Stations and Indoor Monitors) are connected to a power source. Make sure your PoE Switch is powered on.

2. Install and Configure the Intercom:

   • Follow the user manual or guidelines provided in the product documentation for the specific installation process of your Hikvision IP intercom units.

3. Access the Web Interface:

   • To configure the settings, enter the IP address of the Intercom in a web browser or access the device via the Hikvision app.

4. Network Configuration:

   • Set up the network settings, ensuring that each device is on the same subnet. This ensures seamless communication between the devices.

5. Linking Devices:

   • Ensure all Indoor Monitors are properly linked to the Door Stations within the configuration settings. This enables effective communication between units.

6. Testing the System:

   • After initial configuration, test the system by making calls between the Door Stations and Indoor Monitors to ensure everything is functioning correctly.

7. Additional Features:

   • Setup any additional features such as remote access through the appropriate mobile app, user permissions, and access logs.
