Fixes That Usually Work Internet down, router or IP change, wrong time, password mismatch or full network: a check order for Hikvision remote viewing problems. A camera that records nothing useful is the most expensive thing on your wall. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Check internet at the recorder. - Restart router and recorder. - Confirm time and date. Quick answer Check that the recorder has internet (the status light or network page), restart the router and recorder, confirm the recorder shows 'online' under Hik-Connect, check the time and date, and make sure the verification code and password are right. If the recorder is online locally but not remotely, the router or provider is the problem. [Photo: Alan J.
