Our new guide is for newer users to show them how to add Hik-Connect service with minimal downtime and fuss. If you need further support, simply contact us or leave a message.
Hikvision recommends that you enable the UPnP function on both your router and device, or configure Port Forwarding manually in your router. Whilst now unnecessary it may still be required should you have other software or applications that require these services.
You still can use Hik-Connect service even if you don’t enable UPnP or configure ports forwarding manually; however, you cannot use Hik-Connect domain name service.
Please be aware that the images used in our setup guide may not be the same as yours as the software or firmware is updated over time. However, the information and settings required to setup Hik-Connect services are very similar across all supported products.
Preparation
Users need to upgrade your device(s) to the latest firmware that supports Hik-Connect Service.
Register your FREE Hik-Connect account
Very straight forward- just visit the Hik-Connect web portal and register.
Adding devices into Hik-Connect account
Users can enable Hik-Connect function via Hik-Connect APP; www.hik-connect.com web portal; iVMS-4500 app or iVMS-4200 client.

Run Hik-Connect app at your mobile
Add the device by scanning device QR code or inputting device serial number manually

How to find the device verification code?

The verification code can also be found by logging into your devices GUI or directly from the NVR. This is handy if you have already installed your system
