Nov 15, 2021 Size: 138 M Version: 4.20.2.1218. The Hik-Connect app is designed to work with Hikvision series DVRs, NVRs, Cameras, Video intercom devices and Security control panels. With this app, you can watch real-time surveillance video or play it back from your home, office, workshop or elsewhere at any time. When alarm of your device is triggered, you. Ive tried for weeks and cannot get the new plugins with the simplified linking of account to work. When I try to configure the plugin- I click login below and then a blank window appears with just the nest logo and no google login. Pop-ups are allowed, I've tried Chrome, safari, Firefox and Edge all with the same result.
I would recommend following the steps of downloading and installing the iOS Camera plugin for OBS Studio before buying the iOS App.
1. Download the iOS Camera Plugin for OBS Studio
2. Verify that the iOS Camera Plugin is installed correctly
Hikvision Plugin Mac
Open OBS Studio and add a new iOS Camera source:
If you do not see the iOS Camera source, please see this FAQs about this.
If you cannot find the OBS Studio application, then make sure you have also installed it. You can download OBS Studio from https://obsproject.com/
3. Download and install the iOS App

Please make sure that you have a device that is known to work well before downloading. What iOS hardware do I need?.
4. Connect to your Device
For best results, before starting make sure that your iOS device is disconnected and the Camera app closed. There is a video of me running through these steps at the bottom if that's more your style - though I still recommend reading the steps below too.
- Make sure your iOS Device is unplugged to begin.
- Open OBS Studio on your computer.
- Add a new 'iOS Camera' source to your scene (only if there isn't one there from Step 2)
- Open the Camera for OBS Studio App on your iPhone.
- Confirm that the USB output is selected in the apps' output settings. (it is by default)
- Connect your iOS device to your computer using the lightning cable it came with.
- If at this point it doesn't automatically connect, tap the refresh devices button and then select your device in the list.You will now see your video!
- Use your iOS device as a webcam and stream your heart out! ?
Plugging in your iOS device with the app running automatically connects to OBS Studio when using a single device.
If you're more the visual type, I recorded a short video where I ummm and arrrr, and eventually connect my device! ? Before recording I did install the plugin for OBS Studio (links are above).

Love it
I am in shock reading all of these negative reviews but I think I know why. People simply don’t know what they’re doing. Nest cameras are no comparison to Hikvision. If your speed is not fast enough then you can’t stream high resolution. There’s a reason why you setup dual streams. My Hikvision NVR and cameras have never once crashed on me. I thought I had a problem with my Hik-Connect cloud account disappearing randomly from my phone but that was user error. My wife was logging into her phone with my account instead of me sharing. I’ve setup my cameras using the device connection and I get almost an instant connection every time. I’ve spent many hours reading and playing with all my settings, adjusting bandwidth and fine tuning the camera settings and I love my system. If you don’t know how to properly set things up then the commercial Nest system is more for you. No comparison with all the functionality and saving to your own Hikvision NVR to Nest’s cloud storage which you constantly keep paying for and again gives you no functionality.

Every update makes the app worse
I keep on making the mistake of updating this app. First, I could keep all of my cameras on HD. Yes, the cameras were choppy, but I prefer quality over quantity. Then an update made all cameras automatically display as Basic, and I then needed to set them to HD every time I switched cameras. So I tried contacting the company through the feedback feature in the app. No reply.
Now, this most recent update only displays one camera and I must manually add each camera EVERY time I want to see my cameras. Close out of the app? Add each camera again. Maybe I want to multitask, and according to Hik-connect I lose connection for a bit? Oh, that's means I need to login again to Hik-connect, and I then need to add each camera, again. I can't view the cameras I have installed immediately when I need to. Please, change the app back to what worked before. This current version is not an upgrade.
Ultimately, considering I bought my system to use on my mobile devices (like anyone else living in the 21st century), I would not recommend others buying Hikvision products until they fix the very methods you must employ to use those said products. A hi-def CCTV system is only worth buying if it's hi-def and a CCTV system. Not mobile friendly = not a CCTV system worth buying in my book. I'll wait to buy any more cameras (have 6, need 10 more) until this gets fixed.

Great App-Again!
I generally don’t write reviews for any app. The update that was released about 2 weeks ago caused me to lose the ability to control the camera from my ipad. I am running a Hikvision PTZ camera through a Hikvision NVR. I never had a problem with either device. In my opinion,the image quality of the Hikvision camera is unsurpassed. I was really disappointed when this problem occurred. Within days, Hikvision released an update which corrected the problem. I am very happy that unlike a lot of developers that release updates and abandon them, these developers seem to be pro-active and worked quickly to resolve
