How to get the Verification Code for Hikvision IP camera
Method 1. You can find the verification code on the camera’s label (sticker). Go to the IP camera’s label on the back and on the sticker you will find information regarding your camera, such as the model number, specs, including the verification code (for example ABCDEF).
Method 2. Check the verification code via a web browser or the iVMS-4200 software. Log in to the camera via web browser (use Internet Explorer) or add the camera via the iVMS-4200 software. Go to Configuration > Network > Advanced Settings> Platform Access section. Click the eye icon and get the verification code (as shown in the picture below).
Method 3. Get the verification code via secureCRT. This method is more complicated and it’s the last resort in case you still can’t find the verification code for your camera.

• Device Network SDK

2. Choose the camera and find the path: Product Related > IPC/IPD CFG > Device Server > SSH. Choose Disable Server and click Set to save the settings (check the picture below).
Step 2. Login into the camera via secureCRT tool in SSH.

2. Enter the camera’s IP address, username, and click Connect (consult the picture below for the rest of the settings).
