Cannot connect my Hikvision camera to my Raymarine Multi Function Display?

[Pipiskipper]

Hi there,
I have an Hikvision camera and can’t get it connected with my Raymarine axiom 9rv. I think it is because the camera has a password. Is it possible to use the camera without password? I’ve tried it in the web log in and the sadp software but can’t figure it out.

Hi @Pipiskipper

Do you know the exact model number of the Hikvision camera you have? There should be a label on the body of the camera that states the model number.

It is the ds-2cd2145-fwd

Thanks @Pipiskipper

So you will need the password to access the camera and add it to your Raymarine device.

Luckily as a 2x45FWD model, the camera should have a hard reset button which you can use to factory reset the camera so you can set your own password, see the hard reset instructions below:

In some cases, you’ll need to reset your Hikvision device to its inactive factory state. This could be if you’re passing the system on to somebody else; if you’ve forgotten your password; or simply if something has gone wrong during the configuration, meaning you need to start afresh. There are...

I’ve resettled the password but the issue is that it isn’t possible to put a password in the Raymarine. It only works when there is no password. So I’m trying to disable the password but thinking that it’s maybe not possible with this camera

Okay,

In that case, the Hikvision cameras definitely won't work because they are security cameras and can only be accessed using a password.

How is the camera stream connected to the Raymarine axiom 9rv? Does this device support HDMI input? There are some IP CCTV cameras out there that support an HDMI output for connecting directly to an HDMI monitor.
