HiLook
HiLook is a video surveillance app for viewing compatible cameras and recorders remotely, playing back footage, and receiving motion alerts.
What is HiLook?
HiLook is a security camera and video surveillance app for connecting to compatible DVRs, NVRs, and IP cameras that support the HiLook cloud workflow. It helps users monitor homes, offices, shops, and other sites from a mobile device, with live video access when they are away from the location. The app is commonly used to add devices to an account, check camera feeds, review recorded footage, and receive motion-triggered notifications. For everyday use, it centers on remote viewing and basic playback rather than advanced desktop management. Users typically encounter it as a companion app for HiLook or related Hikvision security hardware.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
HiLook is legitimate surveillance software, but it can access live camera feeds, recorded video, and device alert data as part of its normal purpose. Network access and notification permissions are expected for remote monitoring. If you use it, secure the account with a strong password and review which cameras and notifications are shared to the device.
Recommendation: Keep HiLook if you use HiLook or compatible Hikvision security equipment for remote viewing or playback. If you no longer use those cameras or recorders, you can remove the app and set it up again later if needed.
