Description: HIKVISION-MIB module
Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.
What Is HIKVISION-MIB?
HIKVISION-MIB is a Hikvision vendor MIB, apparently focused on registering and describing managed entities (such as cameras or encoders) under a central management system (CMS), based on its object list even though its short and module descriptions were not provided in the source. Its objects cover entity identity and classification (entity index/type/sub-type), network reachability (IP, port, online status), the CMS type the entity registers with, and trap-destination configuration, alongside a CPU-count object suggesting some hardware capability reporting. Monitoring with this MIB centers on device/service reachability and CMS registration status — whether a given surveillance entity is online and correctly registered — plus limited hardware capability (CPU count) rather than deep environmental sensors. As a CMS-oriented MIB it likely depends on or works alongside HIK-DEVICE-MIB for deeper per-device hardware/software detail. It is deployed in Hikvision video management deployments where a central management server tracks multiple cameras/encoders/NVRs via SNMP, drawing on the HIKVISION-MIB MIB for entity registration and reachability objects.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HIKVISION-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.
Supported Devices
- Hikvision IP cameras/encoders
- Hikvision NVRs
- Hikvision CMS-managed video devices
- Hikvision network video devices (DVRs, NVRs, IP cameras)
Monitoring Examples
A monitoring station can check hikOnline and hikService per entity (identified by hikEntityIndex, hikEntityType, hikEntitySubType) to confirm each registered camera or encoder is reachable and its service is running, using hikIp and hikPort to know where to reach it. hikCMSDefType indicates which CMS profile the entity is registered under, useful when auditing multi-CMS deployments, and hikTrapHostIp1 confirms where the device is configured to send its own traps. hikCPUNum gives a basic hardware capability figure (number of CPUs) that can be cross-referenced against expected device models.
What Can Be Monitored
- entity online/service status
- entity IP address and port
- CMS registration type
- entity type/sub-type
- trap destination host
- CPU count
