Hikvision is one of the world's most popular CCTV brands. Their NVRs, DVRs, and IP cameras can send email alerts for various events — but the built-in email notification system is often unreliable and easy to miss.

With TelegramEmailBot, you simply point your Hikvision email alerts to your TelegramEmailBot address. Every alert arrives as a Telegram message within seconds.

  1. Open your Hikvision NVR/DVR web interface
  2. Go to Configuration → Network → Email
  3. Set the recipient email to your TelegramEmailBot address
  4. Enable alerts under Events → Motion Detection
  5. Save — done! Alerts now go to Telegram

Common Questions

Hikvision Alerts to Telegram — FAQ

Does this work with iVMS-4200 and HikConnect setups?

Yes. Any Hikvision device that can send SMTP email alerts works — DS-2CD bullets, DS-2DE PTZs, NVRs, and HiLook variants. Configure email under Network → Advanced → Email.

Which Hikvision events can be forwarded?

Motion detection, line crossing, intrusion, region entrance/exit, face detection, tampering, video loss, hard-drive errors, and recording exceptions.

Do I need to open ports or punch through NAT?

No. Hikvision cameras send outbound SMTP to our servers. No port forwarding, no VPN, no DDNS required.

Can I filter out false-positive triggers?

Yes. Use Hikvision's smart detection zones and sensitivity sliders to reduce noise before alerts reach Telegram.
