Steps to Add and Use Hik-Connect on Firestick

The Hik-Connect app is used to watch live videos, get alarm notifications, and view recorded footage. Like using Hik-Connect on smartphones, you can also set up and use this app on Firestick for surveillance. Remember that Hik-Connect can only be installed on Firestick by sideloading due to the app’s unavailability in the Appstore.

Connect Firestick to a Wireless Network
Remove unused apps from Firestick to ensure adequate storage space available to install the app. Then, connect your Firestick to WiFi by going to the network settings.
Go to the Fire TV Home Screen
Return to the home screen by tapping the remote’s Home button. Then, use the remote navigation button to scroll to the Find option and click it.

Launch the app and select ADB SETTINGS. You will be shown with Firestick Developer Settings. There, enable ADB Debugging.
