How I Setup the iVMS-4200 on a Mac Before Use

This article is a continuation of my previous article on how to download and install the iVMS-4200. The reason I didn’t merge this article with the previous one is because I thought creating a new article would provide a more detailed explanation of how to prepare the iVMS-4200 on a Mac before use. One of the initial settings before using the iVMS-4200 is creating an account. This account is used to log in to the dashboard, where you can configure the device and view the live view from the Hikvision camera.

If you’re just starting out using iVMS-4200 on your Mac, this article will be a great resource. I wrote it based on my personal experience.
