Purpose of The Guide
This Guide will show you how to add your Dyn address or static IP address settings to the Hik connect app on a smart device.
Before You Begin
Make sure all the port forwarding rules are in place and the Dyn address is working or you have a static IP address provided by your internet provider. If you want to know how to add the port forwarding rules, then you need to follow the guide Here.
