What Hikvision camera and recorder models are supported by Videoloft ?
We’ve done a full integration with Hikvision’s API meaning we can support almost all models of Hikvision IP cameras, NVRs and DVRs. The only models we’ve tested that aren’t compatible are the Hikvision doorbell cameras.
Can I manage Hikvision cameras across multiple locations?
Yes. Videoloft lets you view and manage cameras, footage, users and alerts across all your locations through one cloud-based platform. There is no limit on the number of sites you can add, making it suitable for businesses ranging from a few locations to large multi-site estates.
Can I manage Hikvision cameras alongside other brands?
Yes. Videoloft supports hundreds of camera and recorder brands, allowing you to manage Hikvision equipment alongside other supported systems through one account. This is particularly useful for businesses with different camera brands across their locations.
How is Videoloft different from Hik Connect?
The Hikvision app known as Hikvision Connect connects to the local storage on the camera or recorder. Videoloft, on the other hand, transmits and stores video via the cloud, so if your local storage is tampered with or destroyed, the recorded footage is still accessible via the Videoloft cloud. Not only this, Videoloft offers additional features that aren’t in the HikConnect app, including:

On average, it takes 2-3 working days for our Cloud Adapters to reach customers in the USA.
