Hik-Connect with Google Home

[MARCIFIOLA]

I want to connect the hikconnect app to google home. I didn't see this possible until now, so I started looking for another app to connect them with, but I'm pretty clueless. Is there any way that if I tell the Google Assistant, it will display the live of the Hikvision camera on my Samsung OLED TV? That would be the goal. Can you help me?

Hi MARCIFIOLA,

Thanks for posting here in the community! I understand how important it is for you to connect the Hik-Connect app to the Google Home app or through Google Assistant to display live video from your Hikvision camera on your Samsung TV. I'd be happy to help with your concerns!

In this case, to connect the Hik-Connect app to the Google Home app, you'll need to confirm with the manufacturer if your cameras are compatible with "Matter" or "Works with Google." This compatibility ensures you can control them through the Google ecosystem and share live video on your TV or other devices.

If Hik-Connect works with Google, you'll need to link the app through the Google Home app. For reference, you can check out this article: Connect third-party smart home devices in the Google Home app.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Best regards,

Jenniffer

Hi Jenniffer!

I have no idea about these compatibilities, so I would like to ask for help. No matter how much I tried to read and try, I can't bring the Hik-Connect application together with Google Home. I have a DS-7104HGHI-M1 type DVR recorder for Hikvision cameras. It seems that the Hik-Connect app is not compatible with Google, according to my experience (but obviously I'm waiting for confirmation). If that's the case, is there any other way to bring these cameras together with Google Home? For example, a third-party app that is good for both?

Thank you in advance for your answer and help!

Hi MARCIFIOLA,

Thanks for following up!

In this case, I'd suggest a double-check with the manufacturer of the Hikvision cameras to see if the app is compatible with Google Home. Typically, some third-party devices have labels on the box indicating if the products are compatible with "Matter" or "Works with Google."

For now, I'd recommend simply using the Hik-Connect app to see the live video on your mobile devices. This is to prevent any security risks if you choose to use a third-party app.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Best regards,

Jenniffer
