Most of the systems we install at PPC Wales are manufactured by Hikvision and so you'll be using this app to manage your surveillance system.

The Hik-Connect application is also used to manage our wireless alarm systems (AX Pro), video doorbells and access control systems. If you have one or more of these systems installed at your premises then you'll probably be using this app to manage your system.
