Install Hik-connect on your Android phone in 7 steps

To view a Hikvision system on an Android phone, install the Hik-Connect app from hik-connect.com, register an account set to the Australia region, then contact us to add your devices to that account.

Now that you have purchased a Hikvision system from us, you can set up this up on your phone through the Hik-connect application. Watch this video, or follow the steps below to learn how to set up the app on an Android Smartphone.

Installing and setting up the Hik-Connect app

1. Find the app:
   • On your Android phone, go to Google and type in “Hik-connect”.
   • Click on hik-connect.com.
   • When it asks, “Do you want to download the Hik-connect app?”, select “okay”.
2. Download and install the app:
   • Select “Download”, then “Install”.
   • When you receive the pop-up advising that this app can harm your device, click “Okay”.
   • When your phone advises it is not allowed to install from unknown devices, go into “Settings” and select “allow from this source”.
3. Opening the app:
   • Now that the app is installed, open it. A few things will pop up.
   • Select “Allow”, then “Agree”.
   • Select “Australia” as your region.
4. Register for an account:
   • Do not set-up your account with a phone number, as this may cause issues.
   • Select “Register”, then “Agree” and select “Australia” again.
   • Enter your email address and select a password.
   • Click “Send Security Code”.
   • Enter the security code you received to your email into the app.
