Frequently Asked Questions - DS-6900UDI Series Hikvision

How do I activate the decoder for the first time?

You must activate the decoder by setting a strong password (minimum 8 characters, including at least three of: uppercase, lowercase, numbers, special characters). Activation can be done via SADP software, web browser, or iVMS-4200 client software. Refer to Chapter 3 of the manual.

The decoder cannot be found on the network. What should I do?

Check the cable connection and switch. Ensure the decoder is powered on. Use SADP software to search for devices. The default IP address is 192.0.0.64. If necessary, reset the device to factory defaults by holding the reset button (if available) or via web interface.

What video formats does the decoder support?

It supports H.265+, H.265, H.264+, Hik264, H.264, MPEG4, and MJPEG. Encapsulation formats include PS, RTP, TS, ES, and HIK.

How can I configure the decoder to decode video from an IP camera?

Add the encoding device via the web interface or client software by entering its IP address or URL. You must provide the user name, password, and port (default 8000). Ensure the camera is compatible and the decoder can reach it over the network.

The video output shows no signal. What could be wrong?

Check that the output resolution settings match your display. For HDMI, verify the output mode (LCD or LED) and resolution. Confirm the decoder is decoding a stream. If streaming fails, the screen may show a 'No Network Signal' message. Adjust the personalized configuration for streaming failure behavior.

Can I decode video from third-party IP cameras?

Yes, the decoder supports ONVIF and RTP/RTSP protocols. It is compatible with many third-party cameras from brands like Panasonic, Sony, Axis, Bosch, and others. Refer to the list in Chapter 11.3 for tested models.

How do I reset the admin password if I forgot it?

Use SADP software to reset the password. Run SADP, select the device, and click 'Forgot Password'. You will need to provide the device serial number and contact Hikvision support for further assistance. Alternatively, perform a factory reset (if hardware button available).

What are the window roaming and zoom features?

Windows can be dragged freely on the video wall for roaming. Double-click a roaming window to zoom in to full screen; double-click again to restore. For divided sub-windows, double-click to enlarge within the parent window.

How do I save and switch between different video wall layouts?

Configure the video wall layout and save it as a scene via the web interface or client software. Up to 8 scenes can be saved. Select a scene from the list to call it, allowing quick switching between different display configurations.

The decoder is overheating. What should I do?

Ensure the decoder is installed in a well-ventilated, dust-free environment. Keep all ventilation openings clear. Operating temperature should be between -10°C and 55°C. If overheating persists, power down and contact service.
