Hisee SE — Free smart camera companion app by Hankvision for live monitoring, two-way audio, camera sharing, video playback, and motion detection alerts. Set up Hiseeu and Hankvision Wi-Fi security cameras in minutes on iOS and Android.
Hisee SE is a free smart camera companion app developed by Hankvision Inc for managing Hiseeu and Hankvision-branded Wi-Fi IP security cameras. It provides live video monitoring, two-way audio, camera sharing, video playback, and motion detection alerts.
Yes, Hisee SE is free to download and use. Core features including live view, two-way audio, camera sharing, playback, and motion alerts are available at no cost. Cloud storage subscriptions may be available as in-app purchases for extended recording options. Local storage via microSD card is supported at no extra cost.
Download the Hisee SE app, register with your phone number and verification code, tap '+' to add a camera, then choose your setup method: QR code (hold phone 10–20 cm from camera lens), AP hotspot (connect to 'HiseeXXXX' Wi-Fi with password '12345678'), or wired Ethernet connection. The camera provides voice-guided pairing. Only 2.4GHz Wi-Fi is supported.
Hisee SE cameras only support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks, not 5GHz. Check your router settings to ensure you're connecting to the 2.4GHz band, move the camera closer to the router during setup, verify the Wi-Fi password is correct, and try resetting the camera if needed.
Hisee SE is designed primarily for iOS and Android mobile devices. There is no official PC client. Some users run the app on PC using Android emulators, but this is not officially supported by the developer.
In the Hisee SE app, select the device you want to share, tap the share option, and enter the recipient's account information. They will receive viewer access to your camera's live feed.
Check that app notification permissions are enabled in your phone's settings, ensure push notifications are turned on within the Hisee SE app settings, verify that Do Not Disturb mode is off, and make sure you're running the latest version of the app.
Hold the reset button on the camera for 5–10 seconds until you hear a 'reset successful' voice prompt. The camera will restart and return to factory settings. You can then re-add the camera in the Hisee SE app using your preferred setup method.

Hisee SE works with Hiseeu Wi-Fi security cameras, Hiseeu wireless NVR camera systems, Hiseeu PTZ cameras, Hiseeu solar-powered cameras, Hiseeu indoor pan-tilt cameras, and other Hankvision-compatible Wi-Fi IP cameras.
Works well for monitoring my Hiseeu cameras. The QR code setup was quick and the live view is stable. Two-way audio has a slight delay but is clear enough for talking to family at home.
Decent app for the price of the cameras. Motion alerts work most of the time. Wish the interface was more modern. Playback feature is useful for reviewing events.
I have three Hiseeu cameras connected and they all work through this app. Camera sharing with my wife was easy to set up. Night vision quality is impressive.
Best free camera app I've tried. No subscription needed for basic use. The AP hotspot setup method worked when QR code didn't. Very reliable for daily use.
App does what it needs to. Connection can be slow sometimes. The 2.4GHz only limitation is annoying but understandable for the camera hardware.
Good app for Hiseeu cameras. Live streaming is smooth and motion detection is responsive. The camera sharing feature makes it easy for the whole family to monitor.
Functional app but the UI could use an update. Two-way audio works and alerts are timely. Would like to see landscape mode for tablets.
Using this with two indoor PTZ cameras. Pan and tilt control is smooth. Setup took a few tries but works great once connected. Recommended for budget security.
Excellent companion app for Hiseeu cameras. I monitor my shop and home from one account. Multi-camera view works well. No complaints.
Night vision is decent, live view works most of the time. Notifications can be delayed. The app hasn't been updated in a while which concerns me.
