Cannot access camera , after ticking Enable HTTPS Browsing. Help

[L Bishop]

Hi there,

I have ticked Enable HTTPS Browsing, when in one of my cameras. I can now not access it.

Any idea how I can rectify this please.

Thanks

Provided you're still using the "default" ports, specify port 443, as in:

xxhttps://192.168.xxx.xxx:443

substitute 192.168.xxx.xxx for the actual IP address of your camera (or NVR). That should get you a login screen. And drop the xx from xxhttps.

Hi thanks for the reply , so can log into my NVR and my 3 other cameras .

So my camera device ip is 192.168.254.2. What should I alter to gain access ? Yes still using default port

As have tried 192.168.254.2:443 but still the same

192.168.254.2 is probably sitting behind a POE NVR then. Yes ? There's probably a way via Virtual Host but I'm not so sure what port # that would be. Some one else might know.

As a workaround:

• plug your laptop (or PC) into a spare POE port on the NVR
• MANUALLY set your laptop to an address on the 192.168.254.xxx network. Use something like 192.168.254.250
• then open your browser to xxhttps://192.168.254.2:443

Hi there,

Unfortunately I don’t have an Ethernet port on my laptop.

So not sure what to do at the moment.

Thanks again for the reply

Just to clarify my issue.



My cameras are directly connected to the PoE ports on a Hikvision NVR , they are connected to the NVRs subnet IP range (192.168.254.xxx) I believe .



I enabled "Enable HTTPS Browsing" on the camera and it is no longer accessible via the Virtual Host feature.



So somehow need to find a way to get access back to the camera settings.

Off the top of my head:

• do you have an old, spare, wireless router that you can temporarily plug into an NVR POE port ?
• can you borrow a laptop with a wired Ethernet port ?
• do you have a spare POE switch or any POE Injectors ?
• what other networking equipment do you have that we can temporarily use ?

Thanks for the response. I have got up and reset the camera, and just seeing if this has sorted it.

 

[sportster]

I was trying to keep you from climbing up on a ladder or roof. Good luck. A factory reset should do it.

Appreciate it, thanks

I tried on non-POE connection. Those are the messages for the iVMS4200:

If you select View Certificate, then you have the option to install and possibly proceed to login page.
The other way that worked for me is the Edge browser:

You select Advanced and then Continue to 192.168.xxx.xxx and login page
When enabling Https Browsing on Batch configuration tool there seems no change to port 443. This is on 8000 and 80
I also do not know if a self signed Certificate would allow connection without blocking or warnings. This could be done by entering configuration through Batch configuration tool
