2. Though Hik-Connect DDNS

Introduction of Hik-Connect DDNS:

The full name of Hik-Connect DDNS is Hik-Connect Dynamic Domain Name Service. Once a device is added to a Hik-Connect account, the Hik-Connect DDNS server will allocate the device serial number as the Hik-Connect domain name. Customer can edit the domain name later via Hik-Connect APP or web portal. Hik-Connect DDNS provides a mapping relationship between a domain and the device external IP & ports.

Adding steps:

For adding new device:

(1) Do for the device on router or through UPNP function of itself;
(2) Click Configure DDNS after adding device successfully through Cloud P2P;
(3) Select port mapping mode as manual. Input external server port and http port set in step 1;
(4) Input the user name and of device;
(5) Tap Save button on up right corner.

For devices already exit under Hik-Connect account:
(1) Do port forwarding for the device on router or through UPNP function of itself;

(3) Click Configure DDNS;

(4) Select port mapping mode as manual. Input external server port and http port set in step

(5) Input the user name and password of device;

Notes:

(1) After completing the DDNS configuration, the App will directly access the stream through the Hik-Connect Domain (IP and port), including and playback.
(2) After DDNS is configured correctly, more remote configuration options will be available on App.
3. Through IP/Domain
For devices that do not support the Hik-Connect service, you can also add devices to the hik connect app through IP / domain.
Adding steps:
(1) Launch Hik-Connect App;

(2) Adding device through input the IP, port ,user name and password manually;

(3) Once completes the adding process, users can live view, play back, and make some remote configuration.
Since it is not necessary to register a Hik-Connect account to add a device in this way, so the device is not bound to the account, only bound to the current mobile phone.

Notes:

(1) If the mobile phone and the device are in the same LAN, the LAN IP and port can be used to add the device. If the mobile phone and the device are in the public network, the device needs to be mapped to the public network, and the public IP and port can be used to add the device in Hik-Connect.
(2) The devices added through IP are different from those added through Cloud P2P domain in function. Some functions that must rely on cloud services, such as device sharing, / call, etc., are only supported when added though Cloud P2P.
