Hikvision Camera Tester

A simple tool to scan Hikvision cameras over static IPs with port forwarding enabled on the router. This project provides a GUI application for testing cameras, checking their status, and displaying open ports using Nmap and Digest Authentication.

Features

• Port scanning with Nmap for any given IP.
• Digest authentication support for Hikvision devices.
• Tkinter-based GUI for easy usage.
• Automatic Nmap installation if missing.
• Generates a list of working cameras.

Requirements

• Windows 10/11 (for the EXE version)
• Python 3.12+ (for the script version)
• Administrator rights (if Nmap installation is triggered)

Installation

1. Download the EXE

You can download the standalone EXE from the Releases section.

2. Run the Python Script

How It Works

1. Provide the IP address, username, and password.
2. The app scans open ports using Nmap.
