Because the latest version of the Hik Connect app is not available  on the Google Play store on Android devices, you will need to manually download the app and allow third party apps to be installed on your Android device, following in the steps below.

Setting up your Android device to unknown apps install.

While there could be some slight variation in exactly where you'll find this setting on your Android phone, it's usually buried within the Security & privacy or App menus. These are the two most common paths:

1. Go to Settings.

2. Find the Security & privacy option and tap on it.

3. Scroll down and look for 'install from unknown apps'. If it's not there, try under 'more'.

4. You should be presented with a list of apps. Find your browser - Chrome, for example.

Tap on it and then select 'Allow from this source'.
