By With many customers, we often hear a complaint that goes something along the lines of it being frustrating to set up an IP camera or system through a local network. Fortunately for those customers and you, many of the brands we offer have thought of that exact dilemma. Similar to how Axis Communications offers the Axis IP utility, Hikvision offers its own online tool, or Hitool, with the SADP tool. Free to use after downloading, this Hitool can be found through the Hikvision website on its designated page or when searching through the Hitool list.
What is SADP tool Hikvision?
The SADP tool is downloadable software offered on the Hikvision website, available for free to everyone, but only practical if you have purchased Hikvision IP cameras. With its own interface that matches other Hitools, the Hikvision software offers many functions, including:
- Viewing the device information
- Activating the device
- Editing the network parameters of the device
- Resetting the device password
As can plainly be seen, the functions offered by the SADP tool make working with each Hikvision IP camera easier. However, other than the cameras needing to be internet protocol and of the same brand, you will need to have a running local network for the software to work properly.
How do I activate my Hikvision IP camera with the SADP tool?
After successfully downloading the software onto your Hikvision recorder or a computer managing your Hikvision camera system, there isn’t much to the SADP tool in terms of getting it to work. The program will simply scan your local network upon activation and provide you with a list of Hikvision cameras that have just connected to your network for the first time. For each new camera, you will need to apply an admin password before gaining functionality from the device. Once done with that, you can adjust the device network parameters, gain further information about it, restore the default password, and more.
