How to Add Prama STQC Camera in Hikvision NVR

---

⚙️ Step 1 – Install the ODDT Desktop Tool

Instead of using the Hikvision's SADP Tool, you need the ODDT Desktop Software on your Windows PC. This is Prama’s latest configuration utility that helps you activate and manage cameras efficiently.

Alternatively, you can get the software by contacting Prama Technical Support via TeamViewer (techsupport@pramaindia.in).

🔐 Step 2 – Activate the Camera

After installation:

1. Launch ODDT Tool.
2. The camera will appear in the list.
3. Enter a strong password to activate the device. (Activation is mandatory before any configuration.)

---

🌐 Step 3 – Enable DHCP and Modify Network Parameters

Once activated:

• Select the camera in ODDT Tool.
• Enable DHCP so that the camera automatically gets an IP address from your network.
• Enter the camera password to apply changes.

This ensures your camera is accessible from any device in the same LAN.

💻 Step 4 – Login via IP Address

Open your browser and type the camera’s IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.64). Log in using the username and password you created during activation.

🔄 Step 5 – Check NVR Firmware (New Update)

Hikvision NVRs now have updated firmware that natively supports Prama STQC Cameras. You do not need to update the camera firmware if your NVR is running the latest version. Ensure your Hikvision NVR is updated.

🔧 Step 6 – Enable ONVIF and Add ONVIF User

In the web interface:

1. Go to Network → Advanced Settings → ONVIF.
2. Enable ONVIF.
3. Add a new user with the same password used in your DVR/NVR.
   ⚠️ Note: The ONVIF username should not be “admin.”
   Example: onvif_user
4. 👉 After adding the ONVIF user, go to Maintenance & Security → Security → Login Management → Disable Illegal Login Lock. This setting is crucial to prevent the camera from locking out the NVR due to connection attempts.

This user will be used to connect your camera to the NVR.

---

📹 Step 7 – Add Camera to DVR/NVR

Now open your DVR/NVR interface and add the camera manually using:

• IP Address
• ONVIF Username
• Password

Your NVR will now detect and display live video from the camera.

⚡ Step 8 – For Latest NVR Models

Some new-generation Prama NVRs can automatically stream without the necessary of upgrading firmware & its related configurations. If your NVR supports auto-search or plug-and-play, you may skip the previous step(Upgrade Firmware).

---

🚫 Step 9 – No Platform Access Option

If you don’t see Platform Access in your camera’s network menu, that’s normal. It means your camera does not support P2P/Cloud streaming through the Prama Online app — but it still works perfectly through ONVIF and NVR integration.

---

📱 Step 10 – Stream Camera on Mobile via ONVIF

To view your camera feed directly (without DVR):

• Install the ONVIER mobile app from Play Store.
• Add your camera using:
  • IP address
  • ONVIF port
  • The ONVIF username & password (created in Step 6)

🟢 Do not use the camera’s admin username/password — only the ONVIF credentials will work.

---

🎯 Conclusion

Even if your Prama Network Camera doesn’t have the Platform Access (P2P) feature, you can still activate, configure, and stream it smoothly using the ODDT Tool and ONVIF method. Follow these steps to ensure stable connection with your NVR or view live feed directly via ONVIER app.
