Hikvision iVMS-5200 Reviews & Product Details

I used iVMS-5200 as a project engineer on a CCTV deployment of 31 cameras across 3 sites in Saudi Arabia. The best thing is having all three sites managed from one platform, so the security team doesn’t have to switch between systems. Live view and playback are quick and easy to use. Setting up user roles and permissions for different operators was simple, and the alarm and event handling worked well. The system relies on a stable internet connection at every branch, and since we had that at all three sites, we could use all the features easily and with good speed. Since it’s all Hikvision, the cameras and recorders connected to the platform without any trouble. For a project of this size, it covered everything we needed without extra software.

It depends on a stable internet connection at each site, so it works best where connectivity is reliable. Other than that, nothing major came up on our projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can add multiple DVR and NVR in single application for monitoring Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NVR or DVR UnBinding is the problem and has to connect with support team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be as a centralized security system monitoring system, it can integrate with access control system and close circuit television surveillance, etc. The operator can remote control and monitor security system, it easy to guard danger things happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The manufacturer only focuses on security system, they named something to be as building management system, actually it is not. It is hardly to work with fire protection and alarm system, the system is important for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The graphical interface is very user-friendly, and it also allows you to easily view all the cameras from different NVRs in one place. The access control is very easy from here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it becomes a bit slow, but I think it is due to the technical specifications of each device where it is used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Comparing with the web based access, the software has great features and more precise options, user management, and a maximum 36 views for larger screens and user friendly interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some times hanging issue faced when operating for playback or live viewing, the mobile app has a single landscape only view that should be allowed to switch between portrait to landscape for ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well of course the best part is that it helps you to view all boutiques/shops but also forms a report about clients that entered, and helps to sort it into categories Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a little bit old fashioned, which of course doesnt affects it productivity, but still it could be more modern designed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

10 Free devices is good for small installations or for trying it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that I do not trust Hikvision products Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works just as expected, user friendly software. H265+ is a huge advantage for saving bandwidth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After two years, some cameras do not load. It seems random. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to manage all the cameras and can have a look at them inside a single window. Easy to use and performance is also good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, it's difficult add a new camera and if it's disconnected, switching to another is little difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
