It is based on https://www.hikvision.com/en/support/download/sdk/device-network-sdk--for-windows-64-bit-/ version V6.1.6.3_build20200925 (Current SDK version EN-HCNetSDKV6.1.9.48_build20230410_win64 has not been tested). Based on sample 1-Preview-PreviewDemo. CHCNetSDK.cs is from SDK. From CHCNetSDK.cs all ..\bin paths are removed:
...
[DllImport(@"HCNetSDK.dll")]
public static extern bool NET_DVR_Init();
...
All necessary DLLs (6.1.6.3 and libeay, ssleay 1.0.2.20) from SKDs\lib are included in project \bin folder. Stratus Acquire 4.2 and 5.1 use DLLs 6.1.4.6.
HCCore.dll
HCNetSDK.dll
libeay32.dll
ssleay32.dll
HCNetSDKCom\HCCoreDevCfg.dll
HCNetSDKCom\HCPreview.dll
Visual Studio 2020 was used to compile this for x64 and .NET4.8 (you must have it installed).
Download newest build as zip from main.zip and start HIK-Set.exe from unzipped bin folder. You can download also certain release e.g. r1.7.0.zip. Remember first to set correct parameters (IP, port, username, password) in HIK-Set.ini.
# Comment line
# Camera 1, IP, port
192.168.106.5
8000
admin
password
# Camera 2, If 1 camera use port 0
192.168.106.6
8000
admin
password
# Location x, y. If omitted or not >0 then center of screen
0
0
# Title, use e.g. HH:mm:ss. If omitted exe name
Ti\tle HH:mm:ss
# Height, 0 default, reduce from 100 to 70 to hide status
70
In .ini all rows starting with # are ignored. White spaces are trimmed. If you have only one camera set port number of camera 2 to 0. You can also rename HIK-Set.exe and HIK-Set.ini to more descriptive name e.g CameraSet. Log file .log is appended automatically. When application is closed Auto mode command is transmitted. Application stays always on top and has opacity of 5%. Fixed preset commands are: 39 Day mode (IR cut filter in), 40 Night mode (IR cut filter out), 46 Day/Night Auto Mode.
