Hi @Dondon09
You should be able to find the HiLook NVR using the Hikvision SADP Tool, which will give you the IP address of the NVR to access it using a browser.

Have you downloaded the Mac version of SADP?

Hikvision Mac compatibility is not great and some of the Hikvision software doesn't work with certain MacOS versions.
Please try using Hikvision's free VMS instead - iVMS-4200 - which has an SADP Tool built-in for finding the HiLook NVR on your network.
We cannot offer 1-to-1 phone support to non-customers.

Dan, It's been a while! I hope this mesage finds you well.
I am trying to add one of your Hik cameras-what a bind. I've replaced my Mac and can't get IVMS to work. I just want to add one cam at this stage. My NVR (DS-7616NII2-16P) can cope with 16 cams, so there's a long way to go from the 3/4 that I have. The three that are operational are perfect. I just want to add in the last cam. But, that one is not directly connected to the NVR, but in a separate building, and on a separate (wired) lan from my router. I've got a static IP to my house. And have set static IPs to the extant 3 cams.
It seems Hik doesn't make it easy to maintain their kit. Or maybe it's just me!
I tried to use HIKPro. But cannot recall the password for the NVR (if that's what they want). It's not too clear to me, what PW is/are required. And I've only got five more goes on that platform, before I'm locked out. So:
1. Is there a hik password manager/strategy to aid simplification and/or a reset of all those passwords?
2. Is there a simpler way to access/configure my kit without buying a PC?
3. Batch config tool?
4. I have a monitor directly attached to my NVR
5. I'd really appreciate a summary of what tools I need to maintain and expand my kit
Dan, I'm sorry to lean on you like this. I've been through a very difficult few years, but am now moving on.
