Hik-Connect Hik-Connect Question - Multiple Device Live View?

[chrizzo]

Hi,

i have 2 WiFi Camera without a NVR connectet to Hik Connect. Is it possible to live view them combined? Because every camera is a single add, so i can only watch one live view, and then have to switch to the other camera. Is it possible to combine them, to view both at the same time in live view?

Hi @chrizzo

Yes, if you open the menu in Hik-Connect (+ symbol) and you tap "Add to Favorites" this will bring up a menu to select your cameras, tap ok once you have made your selection and you can then name that favourites folder and tap ok. You should then see this folder under the favourites section on the main page and when you open this folder it should show the live view of both cameras at the same time.

Do be aware that currently when adding cameras to a favourites list the order of that list is being reversed when you close & reopen the app (e.g. if you create your camera list as 1/2/3/4 and then close the app, when you reopen the live view order of that created favourite folder will be flipped to 4/3/2/1), so it is recommended if you have a particular order you want to view the cameras in you should add them to your favourite folder in reverse order so that they are flipped the correct way when you reopen the app.
