Hikvision NVR & DVR
Every camera. One recorder. Full control.
Warning! This app might not work properly.
This app version is currently being tested, and has not yet been reviewed. It might not work as expected.
Be extra careful when installing this app.
Connect a Hikvision recorder, IP camera or doorbell to Homey the way a security system should work: every channel behind your DVR or NVR shows up on its own, live video plays right inside the Homey app, and a camera or doorbell event can trigger a Flow the moment it happens, with a snapshot attached.
Unlike most camera integrations, this app understands recorders: it enumerates every analog and IP channel automatically, so you're never adding devices by hand one camera at a time. It finds recorders and cameras on your network on its own, and recovers on its own if a device's IP address changes.
