However, one key part of a successful project is how quickly the devices can be deployed and added to the network. Increasingly, these projects are using Hikvision's product line to meet their needs because Hikvision's video management platform is well optimized for large-scale projects. Navigate to Device Management, and then click on the Show Online Devices button.There are many video surveillance projects that require the installation of hundreds of cameras simultaneously. Users of the Windows version of iVMS 4200 will find it very familiar. Once you've installed iVMS 4200, you'll be greeted with the below. We will keep the resource updated with future releases however, and it's highly unlikely that Hikvision would remove such key functionality in future updates so you shouldn't have to worry if the version number is different to what is mentioned in this guide. You'll need this installed to proceed further.ĭo keep in mind that whilst we've not encountered any bugs or issues, it is still a beta version and there might be a couple we're unaware of. We've had a chance to test and play with it on a Mac we have in the office, and it is currently the only version of iVMS that allows you to activate the cameras which, as previously mentioned, now come inactive. We've recently uploaded a beta version of iVMS 4200 for Mac, V1.02.02.02, in the Resources section of our website linked above. The process is fairly straightforward and is covered below. Thankfully, starting from iVMS 4200 V1.02.02.02 (which you can grab from the Resources section of our Forum) this is now possible, and Mac users will be able to activate, configure and view their cameras without requiring a Windows PC at all. This wasn't possible on current versions of the Mac version of iVMS 4200. This problem was then further exacerbated by Hikvision's security firmware update, V5.3.0, which necessitated users activate their cameras before being able to configure or indeed access them at all. In the past, this has often been a problem for Mac users who either can't setup or view their cameras without a Windows PC which they might not have access to.
Many manufacturers limit their camera's plugins to only work with Internet Explorer, and video management software is often not developed for or compatible with Mac OS.
Typically, support for surveillance cameras on a Mac is quite limited. How to Activate and View a Hikvision Camera on a Mac
