Introduction


Overview

The Hik-Connect mobile client (Android), which can generally manage Hikvision products, is designed for the phone based on Android 4.0 or later. With the client, you can remotely control NVRs, DVRs, network cameras, indoor stations, doorbell, security control panels, the Pyronix device, the access control device, etc. Sharing your devices to other accounts and receiving sharing messages from others' accounts are available.
The client provides the Hik-Connect service, which is a cloud service developed by Hikvision, for managing your devices after registration. Besides, the client also provides visitor mode for login, in which you can manage your devices without registration.

With this client installed on your phone, you can access your devices via Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G.
