192.168.1.64: Hikvision Camera IP and Login
192.168.1.64 is the default address of Hikvision cameras. Here is how to reach it, activate the camera and change the IP.
192.168.1.64 is the factory IP address of most Hikvision IP cameras and many Hikvision NVRs and DVRs. It is not a router login.
New Hikvision devices ship inactive, with no default password: you set the admin password the first time you activate them. Here is how to reach 192.168.1.64, activate the camera and move it onto your network.
The fastest way in: tap the button below, then sign in with the details in the box.
IP Address: 192.168.1.64
Username: admin
Password: None, set during activation
Login to Admin Panel →This button opens your router’s own login page. It works only when your device is connected to this router, by WiFi or cable.
How to log in to a camera at 192.168.1.64
- Connect the camera to your PoE switch or NVR and to your computer network.
- Give your computer a static IP in the same range, for example 192.168.1.100, mask 255.255.255.0, if your router uses another subnet.
- Open http://192.168.1.64 in a browser.
- If the camera is new, set a strong admin password to activate it. Otherwise log in as admin with the password you set.
Use Hikvision SADP, a free tool, to find every Hikvision camera on the network, activate it and change its IP without a browser.
The SADP-first tip is the one I never skip when a camera will not open.
Hikvision default login facts
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Default IP | 192.168.1.64 |
| Username | admin |
| Password (firmware 5.3 and later) | None, set during activation |
| Password (older firmware) | 12345 |
| Web port | 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS) |
| Tool | SADP, iVMS-4200, Hik-Connect |
The no-default-password row is the one I point at first when the login fails.
How to change the camera IP
- Open SADP and tick the camera.
- Enter a free address on your router network, for example 192.168.0.64 if your router is 192.168.0.1.
- Set the gateway to your router IP and the mask to 255.255.255.0.
- Enter the admin password and click Modify. Or turn on DHCP so the router assigns an address.
The gateway-and-mask step is the one I double-check before any camera move.
192.168.1.64 not working?
- Different subnet: if your router is 192.168.0.1, your computer cannot see 192.168.1.64 without a matching static IP.
- IP conflict: two new cameras both start at 192.168.1.64. Connect and change them one at a time.
- Camera on DHCP: it may have a new address. Use SADP to find it.
- Forgot password: use SADP password reset with Hikvision support, or the reset button if your model has one.
The different-subnet case is the one I check first when a camera stays hidden.
How to find the address you actually need
Most people who search for a special address are really looking for their router login or their own device address. Here is how to find both in under a minute:
- Router address (default gateway): on Windows run
ipconfigand read Default Gateway. On Mac open System Settings, Network, Details, TCP/IP and read Router. On phones open your WiFi network details. - Your device address: the IPv4 Address on Windows, IP Address on Mac and phones.
- Your public address: open our What Is My IP tool.
- Every device on your network: log in to the router and open the connected devices or DHCP client list.
Not sure which one is your router? Our Router IP Finder walks you through it step by step. The Default Gateway line is the one I read first on any Windows address hunt.
Activating a Hikvision camera with SADP
Hikvision cameras made since around 2016 ship inactive, with no default password. Before you can log in at 192.168.1.64, you must activate the camera by setting a strong admin password.
The easiest way is Hikvision’s free SADP tool on a Windows or Mac computer. It finds Hikvision devices on the network, lets you activate them, and changes their IP to match your router. For me, SADP is the tool I open first on any Hikvision setup.
Use SADP step by step
- Install SADP and connect the computer to the same network as the camera.
- Open SADP. It lists every Hikvision device it finds.
- Select the inactive camera and enter a new strong password to activate it.
- Tick the camera again, change IPv4 address, gateway and mask to suit your network, or enable DHCP.
- Click Modify and enter the password to save.
Write down the password. Resetting a Hikvision camera without it usually needs an export file from SADP sent to Hikvision support, or the reset button on models that have one.
The write-it-down tip is the one I never skip before any camera reset.
Hikvision NVRs and PoE cameras
Hikvision NVRs with built-in PoE ports power and configure cameras automatically. Cameras plugged into those ports get addresses on the NVR’s internal network, not your router’s, so you won’t see them at 192.168.1.64 from your PC. Manage them through the NVR’s interface or the Hik-Connect app instead.
The NVR-interface route is the one I point at first for PoE cameras.
