Reset the NVR password using Guarding Vision (2022 version)

February 5, 2022
in Hikvision

Guarding Vision is a phone app used by Hikvision devices (NVR, DVR, IP cameras) which are OEM non-branded or third party brand names. On this app you can view the camera, playback, backup on the phone and perform other various tasks.

Additionally, there’s another useful feature on this app, you can reset the lost password of your NVR, DVR or IP camera by scanning the QR code with the Guarding Vision app. In this guide we will show the steps on how to reset the password of a NVR using the Guarding Vision app.

Keep in mind that not all the NVRs or DVR support this reset method. Only the newest generation can be reset this way and most importantly you must have checked the “Reserved Email Settings” option when you activated the device for the first time.

If you still can’t reset the password for your Hikvision OEM device, then take a look at these other reset guides: Reset Hikvision password (for IP camera and NVR/DVR) or How to reset a Hikvision IP camera to factory default.
