The Hik-Connect app has been updated to v5.0.0 iOS and Android
The UI has been upgraded to be more intuitive and is going to take some getting used to.
One good feature is that when viewing a specific camera in live view, or you tap on a camera in multiple window view, the events for that specific camera are now displayed below it. So now you can view the events per camera as well as event type.
The 'Home' page displays a large scrollable preview of the cameras, or smaller grid preview (not live). If you pull down and release to refresh the preview, it displays the number of unread notifications for that camera in the top left corner of each preview.
The bug that displays 'Events (99+)' when there are less than 99 is NOT fixed!
Other feature updates:
One click switch between live view / playback
Optimised button layout in live view and playback, and support self-defined icons on the display
Support for setting light compensation for Dual Light cameras
Supports smoke alarm and fire alarms for thermal imaging cameras.
