I managed to get it to work I could not connect via the PC but I figured out that I did not need internet to connect the camera and then I could move the router near to the camera and then connect the lan-cable from the camera to the router and then I could set up the wifi.

Thanks. When I have changed the IP-settings on the laptop and connected the camera via LAN between the camera and laptop as you suggest, how do I then connect to the camera - which command or IP-address to I have to key in?

The camera does have a lan connection - I can connect it to a laptop but how do I access the camera directly from my laptop? I only know how to access the camera via its own ip-address. And when I access via my laptop I only have the ip-address for the laptop. Can you help med futher (the I will find a latter )

I have just got a new router and now I need to set-up the new wifi in my Hikvision DS-2CD2532F-IWS. But my camera is mounted to the wall and cannot be moved and my new router is too far away to get it connected via LAN. I do not have the old router anymore. Any brilliant ideas for what I can do to get the camera connected to my wifi? In the manual it says that the is a "virtual" WBS in the camera setting, but without a LAN connection I cannot get into the settings. Do I realy have to demount the camera and all its sealed connections to get this to Work?

I am using that latest version of Fritzbox 7490 and it runs 802.11n+g+b 2,4GHz and 802.11n+ac 5,0 GHz. The camera connects to the 2,4 GHz.

I have just installed a Hikvision DS-2CD2532F-IWS but the wifi signal is very weak though it has a short distance from its outside location to the router. I do not have a LAN connection possibility which was the main reason for buying this particular camera. I have tried to add a wifi extender (TPLINK extender) near the camera but then I cannot access from the Internet as the portforwarding from the router then does not work as it goes through the extender. I have changed the cannel for the wifi in the router which helped a little. I am considering whether I can add an Wireless access point to improve the signal but is it possible to get portforwarding to work via a WAP? Or any idea of what I can do? Thanks!

Thanks for your quick reply. I have just got it to Work . I had been to detailed in the set-up and allocated fix IP-addresses for both the LAN and WIFI in the camera. It made some confusion in the routers port forwarding. I changed the WIFI to DHCP and now I can access via the internet. In the router I have demanded that it keep the same IP-address for the mac-address on the WIFI part of the IP-camera.

I am also facing issues with Remote access to a Hikvision camera. I have a Hikvision DS-2CD2532F-IWS and a Fritzbox router 7490. I have another ip-camera and it Works find with the port set-up http 6800. I have tried to use 80, 8008, 6700 for HTTP in both the camera and the router (TCP) but no success. Using unpn did not help and now I have disabled unpn in the camera. I have tried to allocate 6800 to my Hikvision instead of my other camera but no success. in canyouseeme.org I get a positive result when using my other camera to port 6800 but when I change to port 6800 for the Hikvision (both in the camera and the router) I get a time-out. Every time I change the port, I am able to access the camera locally by adding the portnumber after the local ip-address but on the internet I get a cannot be displayed. So any idea of what I should try?
