Imou Camera is now widely used, it is gradually becoming popular due to its ease of installation and use.

In this article, I will guide you to integrate Imou Camera into Hikvision video recorder, integrating into existing Camera system. Operation is as follows:

After completing the settings on the Camera, you can add it to the recorder as follows:

4. Important note

For instructions in this article, I use a Hikvision video recorder with the following parameters:

The functions between Camera and DVR are supported as follows:

  • Listen and record audio: Yes
  • Rotation control up/down/left and right: Yes (depending on device Firmware, you can contact the manufacturer to upgrade the Firmware)
  • Alarm via recorder: Motion detection
  • 2-way talk via recorder: I tested but don’t see support

However, if you want to use and install functions on the Camera such as: Person detection alarm, 2-way conversation, night lighting mode,… You can add the Camera to the IMOU application Life and independent use.
