Hikvision AX PRO Unboxing and Configuration Video – Full Setup Video

Simple Hikvision AX PRO Setup Using Ethernet

1. Connect the AX PRO to the modem/router
   • Plug an Ethernet cable from the LAN port on the AX PRO into any LAN port on the modem/router.
   • Connect the AX PRO power supply and switch the panel on.
   • Give it a minute or two to connect to the network. Hikvision supports initial setup directly over Ethernet.
2. Install Hik-Connect
   • Download the Hik-Connect app on your phone.
   • Create a Hik-Connect account or sign into your existing account.
3. Add the AX PRO
   • Open Hik-Connect.
   • Press the + button.
   • Choose Scan QR Code.
   • Scan the QR code located on the AX PRO panel.
   • Follow the prompts to activate/add the panel.
4. Add the PIR
   • Make sure the PIR has its battery installed and is powered.
   • Open the AX PRO inside Hik-Connect.
   • Go to the Device/Peripheral section.
   • Press +.
   • Scan the QR code on the PIR.
   • Give it a name such as Lounge PIR, Hallway PIR, etc.
   • For a normal movement detector, generally leave it as an Instant intrusion zone unless you specifically need an entry/exit delay. Hikvision’s AX PRO allows peripherals to be enrolled by scanning their QR codes.
5. Repeat for the remaining devices
   • Keep following the same process for every PIR, door contact, keypad, siren and other wireless device:
   • AX PRO → Add Peripheral / + → Scan QR Code → name the device → save.
   • If there are keyfobs/remotes, these are normally assigned under the relevant user’s Keyfob/Tag section rather than added as a standard detector.
6. Test the system
   • Check that every device shows Online.
   • Walk in front of each PIR and confirm movement is detected.
   • Arm the system and test that the PIR generates an alarm.
   • Confirm the Hik-Connect phone receives the alarm notification.

Important: Leave the Ethernet cable connected permanently. There is no need to configure Wi-Fi if the AX PRO is staying connected directly to the modem/router by Ethernet.
