Hikvision AX Pro Integration

TetherX integrates with the Hikvision AX Pro alarm panel via the Hik-ProConnect cloud service. Once connected, you can arm/disarm your panel remotely and receive real-time alarm Events directly in TetherX.

Why Integrate?

Connecting your AX Pro alarm with TetherX provides powerful capabilities:

  • Visual verification - See camera footage alongside alarm events to verify genuine activations vs false alarms.
  • Push notifications - Receive instant alerts on your phone with images from your cameras when zones trigger.
  • Multi-vendor platform - Manage AX Pro alongside Texecom, access control, cameras, and other equipment in one open platform - no more switching between manufacturer apps.
  • Remote control - Arm, disarm, and monitor your alarm remotely through TetherX.
  • Smart automation - Create rules that link alarm events to cameras, notifications, and other actions.
