CamHi

Open CamHi, tap the '+' or 'Add Camera' button, and enter your camera's UID code (found on the label on the camera or its packaging). You can also scan the QR code if available. Enter the camera's password (default is often 'admin') and tap 'OK' to connect.

CamHi works with HiChip-based and HiP2P-compatible network cameras. This includes many OEM Wi-Fi cameras, PTZ cameras, bullet/dome IP cameras, and 4G cellular cameras that use the HiP2P protocol. Check your camera's documentation for CamHi compatibility.

No. CamHi is completely free to download and use with no subscription fees, in-app purchases, or cloud storage charges. All features are available at no cost. Recording is done locally on the camera's SD card.

Open CamHi, go to your camera's settings, select 'Wi-Fi Setting', choose your home Wi-Fi network from the list, enter the password, and tap 'OK'. The camera will disconnect from Ethernet or hotspot and reconnect via Wi-Fi. Make sure your router uses 2.4GHz.

Yes. Download the HiP2P Client desktop software for Windows or Mac. It supports centralized monitoring and control of up to 128 network video devices. You can also access some cameras via web browser, though features may be limited.

Many CamHi-compatible cameras support RTSP, allowing integration with third-party software like iSpy, Agent DVR, Blue Iris, and Synology Surveillance Station. Common RTSP URLs are rtsp://<camera-IP>/11 (main stream) and rtsp://<camera-IP>/12 (sub stream). RTSP availability is model-dependent.

Ensure your camera has internet access and is powered on. Check that the UID is entered correctly. If the camera works on local network but not remotely, your router may be blocking P2P connections — try enabling UPnP or setting up port forwarding. Also ensure the app has network permissions.

Most CamHi-compatible cameras support micro-SD/TF cards. Maximum capacity varies by model, commonly up to 64GB or 128GB. Use a Class 10 or higher speed card for reliable recording. Format the card through the app or camera settings before first use.

Locate the reset button on your camera (usually a small pinhole on the body). Press and hold it for 5-10 seconds until you hear a tone or see the indicator light change. The camera will return to factory default settings. You will need to re-add it in the app.

Yes. In CamHi, go to your camera's settings, find 'Alarm Setting' or 'Motion Detection', enable it and set sensitivity. Then go to 'Mail Setting' to configure your SMTP email server. When motion is detected, the camera will send an email alert with a snapshot.
