FAQs about HiKam SecurityPro
A: October 15, 2020
A: SecurityPro can be purchased directly in the HiKam Pro app via the AppStore and Google Play.
A:
No. All features now available are and will remain free. We will continue to provide free new features in the future, such as the quad view (live video from four cameras simultaneously). SecurityPro is not required for this, the function will be available shortly.
But some smart features require sophisticated and powerful cloud computing, such as additional detection types that work with AI, a quick run-through for all alarm events that allows you to get an overview of all recordings of the day in 1 to 3 minutes, and smart ways to enable/disable alarms.
These features improve security and are simply practical, but the higher computing capacities required are costly for these services. At the same time, SecurityPro helps us to continue to provide free personal detection and cloud storage we provide it now.
A: Yes, you can get a full refund within 14 days after activating the service (this is the longest period allowed by the AppStore and Google Play).
