5.3 Adding Camera to Hik-Connect

Before You Start

You need to enable the Hik-Connect service on the camera before adding it to your Hik-Connect

account. Refer to Chapter 5.1.

Use a network cable to connect the camera to a router if the camera does not support Wi-Fi.

NOTE: After the camera connects to the network, wait one minute before attempting any

operation on the camera using the Hik-Connect app.

In the Hik-Connect app, tap “+” on the upper-right corner, and then scan the camera’s QR

code to add the camera.

NOTE: You can find the QR code on the camera or on the camera’s Quick Start Guide cover in

the package.

NOTE: If the QR code is missing or is too blurry to be recognized, you can also add the

camera by tapping the icon and inputting the camera’s serial number.

Input your camera’s verification code.

NOTE: The required verification code is the code you created or changed when you enabled

Hik-Connect service on your camera.

If you forget the verification code, you can check the current verification code on the

Platform Access configuration page via a Web browser.

Follow the prompts to set the network connection, and add the camera to your Hik-Connect

account.
