Hik-Connect notifications and playback

Use the app’s notification settings to cut spam, and check playback if a recording looks wrong.

Notifications

  1. Open Hik-Connect.
  2. Tap the bell (or the menu) and open Notifications / notification settings.
  3. Turn off event types you do not need (or lower how often they fire).
  4. Check phone system settings so Hik-Connect is allowed to notify only when you want it to.

Playback

  1. Open the camera or recorder in the app.
  2. Open Playback (or similar) and pick the time you care about.
  3. If playback errors or shows nothing, note the exact error text, confirm the recorder has power and network, then contact us.

Password and new-phone setup are separate: Hik-Connect password and Hik-Connect on a new phone.

Still stuck?

Tell us what you see — the exact notification text or playback error helps.
