Hik-Connect DocsHow to Add a Device into Hik-Connect
Add devices to the Hik-Connect App through Cloud P2P, Hik-Connect DDNS, or IP/Domain.
With the termination of the Hik-Online service, devices previously registered in HiDDNS can no longer use the HiDDNS service for remote login and access. It is recommended that you use Hik-Connect to add and access your devices instead.
Devices can be added into the Hik-Connect App mainly through Cloud P2P, Hik-Connect DDNS, and IP/Domain. Each method is introduced in detail in this guide.
Add a Device Through Cloud P2P
Prepare your device for Hik-Connect and add it to the App by scanning the QR code or entering the serial number.
Add a Device Through Hik-Connect DDNS
Configure Hik-Connect DDNS so the App accesses the device stream directly through its domain (IP and ports).
Add a Device Through IP/Domain
Add devices that do not support the Hik-Connect service to the App by entering the IP, port, user name, and password.
