How to add your device on the phone via the Guarding Vision app

Marco Albertini by Marco Albertini
in Hikvision

Using the Guarding Vision app you can view your cameras on the phone or tablet. You can live view, playback, backup and perform a lot of more functions on the tip of your fingers.

This guide shows how to add a Hikvision OEM device such as IP camera, DVR or NVR to the Guarding Vision app. It’s applicable to all the Hikvision made devices that are sold under other brands or no brands at all. Usually, the app works for the Hikvision logo devices as well.

There are two steps we need to follow. First, setting up the NVR or DVR and doing the right settings. Second, adding the recorder (or single camera) to the phone app (iOS or Android).

How to add your device on the phone via the Guarding Vision app

Setting up the NVR/DVR

The first section of the procedure consists of setting up the DVR or NVR. We need to enable the connection and expose the recorder to the internet.

Step 1. On the DVR/NVR screen, right click and select the Main Menu > Configuration > Network.

Step 2. Under “General” enter the “Preferred DNS Server” as 8.8.8.8 as shown in the figure below. Additionally you can enter 8.8.8.4 on the “Alternate DNS Server” field. These are the Google’s DNS servers and they get automatically updated.
