Managing smart home products shouldn't require a dozen different apps. HIPLUS is a free cross-platform mobile app from Guangzhou Bushi Technology Co., Ltd. (HiVideo) that turns your phone into a central control panel for Wi-Fi IP cameras and AI-enabled smart home devices. Available on both iOS and Android, HIPLUS focuses on fast device setup, live remote viewing and private, encrypted connections between your phone and your hardware.
What Is HIPLUS?
HIPLUS is the official companion app for HiVideo-branded smart home products, positioned by its developer as an "AI smart APP" for making ordinary devices smarter. The app lets you pair supported Wi-Fi cameras and smart-home accessories to your home network, view live video feeds, receive push alerts when something is detected, and manage multiple devices from a single account.
Unlike platform-specific ecosystems, HIPLUS is designed as a utility tool first: it stays out of the way, prioritizes low-latency streaming and quick pairing, and keeps device data off third-party servers. According to the developer's Google Play privacy declaration, no data is shared with third parties, no user data is collected, traffic is encrypted in transit, and users can request data deletion at any time.
Key Features
HIPLUS provides the core tools you need to operate a small smart home or security camera setup:
- Live Video Streaming — Watch real-time HD video from your HiVideo Wi-Fi IP cameras over Wi-Fi or mobile data, from anywhere in the world
- Quick Device Pairing — Add supported cameras and smart devices in minutes with guided in-app setup (QR code or sound-wave pairing depending on the device)
- Motion Alerts — Get instant push notifications when your camera detects movement, so you never miss an important event
- Remote Control — Control PTZ cameras, toggle alarms, and change device settings remotely through the app
- Multi-Device Management — Manage multiple HiVideo cameras and smart accessories from a single unified dashboard
- Encrypted Transit — All data between the app and your devices is encrypted in transit, per the developer's published privacy declarations
- Cross-Platform Access — Native apps for iOS 10.0+ and Android phones and tablets, plus Mac computers with Apple Silicon
- Multilingual Interface — Available in 19 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Arabic
How to Set Up HIPLUS
Getting started with HIPLUS takes just a few minutes:
- Download HIPLUS from the Apple App Store or Google Play
- Register a free account using your email address
- Power on your HiVideo camera or smart device and wait for the voice prompt or indicator light
- Tap "Add Device" in the app and select the device type
- Enter your Wi-Fi credentials (HIPLUS requires a 2.4 GHz network for most cameras) and follow the on-screen pairing instructions
- Start viewing — your device appears on the home dashboard and is ready for live streaming and remote control
The initial pairing process takes roughly 1 to 3 minutes per device. Once paired, devices reconnect automatically whenever they are powered on and in range of your Wi-Fi network.
Privacy and Security
HIPLUS's developer, Guangzhou Bushi Technology Co., Ltd., publishes the following verified privacy declarations on Google Play:
- No data shared with third parties
- No personal data collected by the app itself
- Data encrypted in transit between app, device and backend services
- Account deletion requests honored — users can ask for their data to be removed
For users concerned about cloud-based surveillance apps that hoard personal data or stream video through opaque third-party servers, HIPLUS offers a comparatively transparent privacy posture.
Who Is HIPLUS For?
HIPLUS is designed for users who want a straightforward, privacy-conscious way to monitor and control their smart devices:
- Homeowners installing HiVideo Wi-Fi cameras for front-door, driveway or backyard monitoring
- Small business owners looking for an affordable multi-camera surveillance setup with mobile alerts
- Renters who need a non-invasive, wireless security camera solution they can take with them
- Families who want to check in on kids, pets or elderly relatives remotely with two-way audio-capable cameras
