Batch Configure Devices on LAN

You can batch configure online devices on the same Local Area Network (LAN) with the phone on which the Hik-Partner Pro Mobile Client runs. The available configurations include batch device activation and device IP address assignment, batch linking channels to NVR/DVR, and batch setting parameters for devices via templates. These functions allow you to complete basic configurations for multiple devices with much less efforts compared with configuring devices one by one.

Note:
  • This functionality is only available to certain models of cameras, NVRs, and DVRs.

  • Before batch configuring devices, make sure you have connected them to the same LAN with the phone on which the Hik-Partner Pro Mobile Client runs.

The flow chart for batch configuration of devices is shown below.
