Access your surveillance system
The Hik-Connect app is a free surveillance system application developed by HIKVISION HQ. Designed for end-users, this utility software allows you to access your cameras remotely and from your mobile phone. The app works with Hikvision series DVRs, NVRs, and IP cameras which support Cloud P2P function.
With Hik-Connect, users can access the live feed of their security cameras even while they are not at home. As a video management system software, it enables you to effectively monitor the IP cameras installed on your property from your mobile device. It provides real-time monitoring with PTZ control, so you can adjust the angle of your camera lens remotely. Besides live feed, it also allows you to play back recorded events.
More than video surveillance, this app also works as an alarm system for your property. It lets you arm the security control panel remotely. Moreover, it comes with a two-way intercom and even answers to doorbells and video intercom devices. Finally, whenever the alarms you set up are triggered, this app will instantly notify you with pictures and videos. Note, however, that it can flood you with notifications.
Overall, it is good to have the Hik-Connect app if you have IP cameras installed on your property. With this, you can monitor your house no matter where you are. Moreover, you can set up alarms and even get notifications from any intruder. However, setting up your devices can be a hassle. In addition, the app often fails to connect to your cameras. Worse still, it floods you with notifications.
