Hik-connect On Google Chromecast Tv: Step-by-step Guide!

[@muriukigitere2637]

Works like magic, thank you so much sir.

[@JasonTech]

You're welcome!

This worked, for some parts where you cant select a specific option I found that plugging in a regular wired mouse to the TV's USB port allowed me to do everything required. I deleted the mouse app and just used a regular mouse to set it all up and now i can just use my remote to view the cameras easily, no more mouse after setting it up.

[@Rebel0001]

I plugged the external mouse to my tv but it’s not working. Having hard time to scroll with remote mouse

[@zaffranj2924]

Hi Jason, many thanks for the tutorials! I have downloaded the v4 app but the live vids stop after 5mins. Any help with this?

[@fahmaummer5576]

Hey Jason, I did download the mouse toggle application, however when switched to mouse mode the cursor was moving but I couldn’t click anything. Hence, I deleted the app and used a wireless mouse. The same issue still appears😶

[@JasonTech]

I'm not sure, I have set up so many of these. I have never ran into that problem.

[@stanceworks7995]

In the browser of the downloader one cannot scroll down with the remote if I'm on a normal website

[@sebastiangrinkraut3799]

Jason, it worked like a charm. One quick question: is there a way to make the cameras the default view so when I open the app I can see the cameras right away?

[@JasonTech]

That's only available on the latest app version, but that version times out in 5 mins. So you will have to keep logging in.

[@JasonTech]

I will see if I can get the ivms-4500 app to work. That will do what you want.

[@sunnybettacambo1015]

Thank you so much

Hi Jason, do you know what happened with the mouse toggle on Amazon Fire TV, it already works, what can I do? I need help, have two fire tv whit Hik-Connect 😢

[@JasonTech]

Fire stick disable it with there latest firmware update. We have to wait for the next firmware update and hope they fix it.

Hi Jason, thanks, another great video. Id appreciate your advice. My 85 yr old Dad wants to see hik vision cameras on his bedroom Tv. He cant connect to NVR as too far. Is chromecast the easiest way to get Hik Vision on a smart Samsung TV or older non smart TV ? What version of chromecast should i buy for him bearing in mind it will only be used to view CCTV ? Id follow your videos to set it up but will it be reasonable easy for him to use ? tks

[@zoe2luke1]

or buy new tv ?

[@JasonTech]

The chromecast is easy if you can get him use to the mouse control. Question. Do you have a hard wire internet line by the TV?

[@Marcin-c9t]

I have the issue...too far to make use of hdmi/DB9 ports at rear of the nvr. I have some very old LG smart tv and I do have wire inthernet connection to the TV - is there any other way to ensure HIKVISION CCTV watching? (instead of buying the chromcast) Perhaps some wireless system allowing making use of spare DB9 port.. I investigated using web page for this purpose and it seems it works with microsoft edge and some plugin only... 🙈 Please help 🙏

[@headhdi]

Hi. Thanks for great tutorial. I’m stuck with hik-connect add on. From some reasons chromecast don’t allow me to install it. It don’t even allow me to go to “more details”. I only can close installation.

[@JasonTech]

What message are you getting?

[@sebastiangrinkraut3799]

Great tutorial. Same thing happened to me. You should go to settings -> apps -> security -> and disable Play Protect

[@JasonTech]

Thanks for sharing

[@russelldye5506]

should it work on any android device? is hik-connect work with any kind of cameras? good video

[@JasonTech]

Yes it will work on other devices. Thank you

[@reuelflorenciovarela6018]

Hello Jason, for some reason installing the HIK-Connect Chromecast Addon, I couldn't get to highlight the "more details option" for me to proceed on clicking the "install anyway" button.

[@JasonTech]

Did you enable the developer option?

[@reuelflorenciovarela6018]

Yes I did

[@JasonTech]

I'm not sure, Check to see if you have the latest update.

[@Zantetsu131]

i had this issue and plugged in a regular mouse to the usb port on the tv and could select it. I didn't use the mouse app.

[@jesuspineda5050]

No hay problema despues de 5 minutos de estar viendo las camaras en vivo? No te saca del video la app como sucede en las pantallas android tv?

[@JasonTech]

Necesitas v4, no v6

[@Farmingsim224]

You need a wireless mouse to connect to the Chromecast because it did it to me i connected a wireless mouse and clicked on more details than it allowed me to install it

[@JasonTech]

You couldn't get the mouse app to work?

[@stanceworks7995]

Can we not download it directly from hikconnect site? I dont trust third party downloads

[@JasonTech]

No, because Hikvision doesn't see this as a android device. But just so you know my version is from Hikvision. It's not from a 3rd player

[@masa-sansamazamanamono3214]

i use hik connect v4, and my video still keep stopping after around 5 minutes. can someone help me ?

[@JasonTech]

Go to setting and check the version. Because v4 doesn't do that.

[@Rebel0001]

It’s not working for me. Even i did exactly the same steps. Is there anything I have to do in nvr Setting. Like port forward or something?

[@JasonTech]

Are you on the same network as the recorder, not a 3rd party WiFi?

[@Rebel0001]

@@JasonTech I am trying to access it from Home network actually. Recorder is at our business location

[@JasonTech]

Then you need to login to your Hik-connect account.

[@Rebel0001]

@@JasonTech it’s working now. Thanks. How I can make my external mouse work with it

[@RussellLee-v1w]

I want to installed it on a smart Samsung TV hikvision NVR ... How do I start

[@DroninAroundDownUnder]

Didn't work. Once I got into the Hik conntect app, the mouse didn't work. It moves around the screen but wouldn't let me 'click' on anything

[@JasonTech]

You skipped a part. You have to enable usb debugging.

[@DroninAroundDownUnder]

Nope. Didn’t skip any part. USB debugging was enabled.

[@jdmc1077]

When i open and it load all cameras app crashes

[@JasonTech]

Make sure you have all the cameras in SD not HD.

I got pop up adds and it froze
