Friendly user interface I have an old HIK Vision system from 10 years ago. The old app, which is no longer supported by HIK Vision, stopped working. I upgraded the firmware of DVR, but the firmware was still too old to be compatible with HIK-connect app. This Guarding Vision app worked like a charm. It’s much better than the old HIK Vision app IVMS 4500.
not work after updating to the latest version of the app 6.13.850 on the iphone, the ability to control the alarm output (closing and opening doors) has disappeared, when will they change and the corrected version of the app will be uploaded to the appstore?
July 26, 2026 New Update It took awhile for the app to start working after update. But still no landscape viewing. I used another tablet in house to permanently view cameras and landscape viewing would be more sufficient on the main screen and the multi camera screen. Yes you can manually turn the individual camera (one at a time) and view it in landscape but when the monitor is already mounted on the wall (like most security monitors) they are stationary and doesn’t move. Giving the customer the option to permanently keep it in landscape mode on all screens/pages would help me out tremendously.
Playback barely works If you’re not on the WiFi network, you cannot watch recorded footage. If you are on the Wi-Fi network, it will work at times. Would not invest in a system that ties into this app, it is a real exercise in frustration
Won't accept alerts from my HVR so i don't get notifications I've changed every setting possible in this this thing, it won't send notifications to my phone no matter what i do. I've changed devices, same thing. support? hahaha non existent and this is what came with my HVR, which means i paid for it s somewhere along the line and it's useless.
horrible Spent a few paychecks on this system and cannot get it online. Bought from Amazon, and the SN will not upload into the wifi portion of the system. no customer support options on the web...Needs special work around with starlink internet and still will not add device on the network. Wish I had never purchased.
Don’t get this app! I bought this over priced add and after the download, it would not work! I was refused a refund! It wasn’t the money but the principal!
Good until it’s not Simple action as changing WiFi password you find no support and terrible settings in app
New update, have to wait 1 minute before video would play. Used to be instant. Not sure what was updated, but when a camera is clicked on, it shows waiting wave and takes a minute before the video would play. Used to be instant. Went to another phone with the older version of the app, works immediately. Please fix.
Often does not work Stopped sending push notifications on Friday. Nothing I do can fix it. Ridiculous.

A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
