The role in practice
When delivering, the app account and recorder password sometimes get mixed up. As a result, a user may see a picture but not be able to explain who can remove or re-enable access.

Manage Hik-Connect account and verification code
A Hik-Connect account allows mobile viewing, but requires a clear owner and a manageable recovery path.
What should be clear in advance
Make sure to determine which account becomes the owner and who only needs shared viewing access. Check where the verification code and recovery information are securely managed.
Set without side effects
Use a personal owner account and share access with other users with appropriate permissions. Do not change a code without recording which app links must be re-confirmed afterward.
Focused checking
Test by using a shared account outside the own Wi-Fi network and then remove a test user. Verify that the owner can still manage the system.
Frequently asked questions
Is the verification code the same as the recorder password?
No. They are different security data with different features.
Can I share Hik-Connect with family?
Yes, but use shared access instead of one shared main account.
