iVMS-4500 Customer Insights

1. However, if you reenable wifi and then view a particular camera, when you switch back to viewing all cameras, connection to the others is lost again.

2. Hikvision software is unfit for purpose.Was forced to download this version and it constantly sticks or when it starts up no connection comes up so therefore, no video.

3. Please sort this out.It does what it says it does, it shows the cameras from the DVR, it does it for a period of time, after a few minutes the cameras start turning off, it may be the cache, the memory, you have to restart the app to see all cameras again.

4. Plus, 99% of the time when I open the app, I get "connection failed." Useless!The app runs all the time in background (with a permanent notification) and permission to phone's camera.

5. I had to forceably disable the extra permissions, but many users won't do so - seems an update is desperately needed.Complete rubbish, MUCH worse than the previous version, which is not without its own issues.

6. As some reviews have pointed out there are issues with device list and live view connection reliability.

7. According to the info here it hasn't been updated recently, so perhaps the problem is at Hikvision's server (?).Usable, albeit riddled with obvious bugs.

8. I found that it doesn't support shared devices from one hik-connect cloud to another hik-connect cloud account, or multiple logins from cloud accounts, it could be very useful if the developers could add those features.

9. Multiple brands work; only HK Vision doesn't work.Suddenly stopped connecting to the cameras.

10. What could have been a good customer experience was instead turned into an utter failure.I use a more reliable app for the cameras.

11. Alarms haven't worked on Android phones in over a year, but work fine on iPhone.
