How to Integrate an EZVIZ H7C Dual-Lens Indoor Wi-Fi Smart Camera with a Hikvision DVR or HVR

Integrating the EZVIZ H7C Dual-Lens Indoor Wi-Fi Smart Camera with a Hikvision DVR or HVR enhances your home security by allowing live footage streaming and DVR recording. Follow this guide to seamlessly integrate these devices and optimize your surveillance system.

Pre-Integration Preparation

1. EZVIZ Camera Setup

  • Ensure the EZVIZ H7C camera is set up and operational.
  • Verify it has the latest firmware update installed.
  • Connect the camera to your local Wi-Fi network.

2. Hikvision DVR Setup

  • Connect your Hikvision DVR to the same LAN network as your camera using the same router or modem.
  • This ensures effective communication between the devices.

Step-by-Step Integration Process

Accessing the DVR

  1. Open a web browser and log in to your Hikvision DVR.
  2. Navigate to:
    • Configuration > System Settings > Camera Management.

Note: This guide uses a 16-channel Hikvision DVR, which supports two IP cameras by default. For more cameras, switch some analog channels to IP channels.

Adding the EZVIZ Camera

Option 1: Quick Add

  1. Click Quick Add to detect cameras on the same network.
  2. Select the EZVIZ Dual-Lens Camera from the list and click OK.

Option 2: Manual Add

  • Use this method if the camera isn’t automatically detected.
  • Enter the camera details, such as IP address, protocol, port, and device verification code.

Editing Camera Settings

  1. After adding the camera, enter the device verification code as the password.
  2. This code is available in the camera settings or on the device label.

Adding the Second Lens

  • The first lens is automatically assigned to Channel Port 1.
  • For the second lens:
    1. Click Add and re-enter the camera’s IP address.
    2. Set the management port to 8000.
    3. Enter the same username and device verification code.
    4. Select D02 (for the second lens) and click OK.

Recording Configuration

Setting the Recording Schedule

  1. Navigate to Configurations > Schedule Settings.
  2. Choose the times and days for recording.
  3. Select the recording mode:
    • Continuous recording
    • Motion detection-based recording
    • Scheduled recording

Configuring Lenses Individually

  • Customize recording settings for both lenses to meet your security needs.

Avoiding Connection Issues

  • Since the EZVIZ camera uses a dynamic IP address, its IP may change after a reboot.
  • To prevent this, set a fixed IP address using the SADP tool.
  • Refer to our video guide on setting a fixed IP for your EZVIZ camera.

Monitoring and Remote Access

Use the Hik-Connect App for:

  • Viewing live feeds and playback.
  • Listening to audio.
  • Controlling features like pan and tilt.

The app ensures full remote control of your EZVIZ camera and DVR setup, providing convenience and enhanced security.

Final Thoughts

By following these steps, you can successfully integrate the EZVIZ H7C Dual-Lens Indoor Wi-Fi Smart Camera with your Hikvision DVR or HVR. Whether you prefer to use one lens or both, this setup ensures comprehensive monitoring and recording capabilities tailored to your needs.
