HikRobot

Set up HikRobot industrial cameras (GigE) with MVS and AugeLab Studio.

HikRobot industrial cameras require the HikRobot MVS (Machine Vision Software) installation on your PC. After that, you can connect from AugeLab Studio using the HikRobot camera block.

Quick start

  1. Install HikRobot MVS.

  2. Verify live view in the MVS tool.

  3. Set a stable IP (GigE) and confirm the camera is reachable.

  4. Start streaming in AugeLab Studio using the HikRobot camera block.

Requirements

  • HikRobot camera (GigE or USB, depending on model)

  • Power (external power supply or PoE, depending on model)

  • For GigE: Ethernet cable and a GigE-capable network adapter (a switch is optional)

Setup (GigE cameras)

  1. Connect and power the camera.

  2. Download and install MVS: https://www.hikrobotics.com/en/machinevision/service/download/

  3. Open the MVS application and confirm you can start acquisition and see a live image.

  4. Set a static IP for the camera that matches your PC subnet.

  5. Open AugeLab Studio and add the HikRobot Camera block. Type your camera's IP address and start acquisition.

HikCamera Usage
Troubleshooting

  • Camera visible in MVS but not in Studio: close MVS; only one app can usually connect to the camera at a time.

  • Can’t find the camera on GigE: confirm the camera and PC are on the same subnet; try a direct Ethernet connection.
