Brilliant, I hadn't, so will. Thanks again Dan.

Thanks very much for such a comprehensive answer Dan, so removal is not due to HikVision going onto the US Entity List. Before I bought my 7608 i series NVR from yours truely, I'd been running two EZVIZ WiFi cams via EZVIZ app. I've successfully added the NVR to that app too and can now see the...

Thanks again, don't want to upset you but my point is that there are at least two other HikVision apps being actively maintained by Hik on Google Play Store, the fact that one of them is "an installers version" is irrelevant ? My prerogative is to ask why a specific app has been excluded from a...

Thanks for your response JB but - Installers' version, yes - and your point is ? My point / question is how are Hik updating their other apps on Googles Play Store if Google are not allowing Hik access ?

Hik-ProConnect app (Google Play Store) updated 21 Dec'21, EZVIZ app (Google Play Store) updated 18 Dec'21 - so both being maintained by HikVision on Google Play Store. I don't doubt that HikVision knows whether the situation with HikConnect will ever change and it would be useful if they advised...

Why can't I download Hik-Connect from Google Play Store ? Hikvision, Corporate Governance, and the Risks of Chinese Technology

"What on earth can we all do . . . . ?" is to stop buying and return their products, I have to say that I don't understand how they have become the predominant player in this market with the current state of their software

JB, many thanks for replying to my question. I do have Android, but I trust Google more than Hikvision, and I understand that Google removed the Hik-Connect app from Play Store due to security issues ? You appear to be an installer, do you know when Hikvision are going to fix the security issue ?

Hi Majid, did you get this resolved ? I'm not even able to download the Hik-Connect app from Google PlayStore, it's no longer there apparently due to Google concerns re. security of the app. From other posts it appears that Apple do not host it on their app platform for the same reason ?

Dan, when will the Hik-Connect app be available via the approved / security checked Google Play Store. I have tried to use iVMS-4500 but it will not successfully scan the QR code that my DS-7608NI-I2/8P generates, nor have I worked out whether I can add the NVR to the app manually. Please can...

Nor can I - so I searched for the issue on YouTube, and noticed a comment that Google removed the app from PlayStore due to security vulnerabilities and asking if Hikvision had sorted this out ? Hikvision have pinned a comment to the same video advising that the App can be downloaded from their...

From the thread above, would I be correct in thinking that NVR 4.0 has no ability to initialize a camera's micro SD card ?

Hi Dan, of course, screenshot attached. However I think I now know where the problem lies. I don't like Windows but purchased Win10 solely to be able to use SADP ! BUT, I'm running it (Win10) as a virtual machine (via Oracle VirtualBox) under Linux (Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS) so even though I can...

Same here, I bought Win10 solely to run SADP and it's not working, nor is the Batch Configuration Tool.

Why is adding a camera to the network such a big deal? Can you imagine buying a laptop, plugging a network cable in to your router and then being told you'll first need to access it from another computer on the network by running some utility download that wont see it if it isn't on the same...
