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.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have:
- AX Pro panel powered on and connected to the internet
- TetherBox powered on, connected to the internet, and activated on site
- Hik-ProConnect account with your AX Pro panel already registered
Part 1: Configure Hik-ProConnect
First, authorise TetherX as an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) in your Hik-ProConnect account.
Open Hik-ProConnect
Open the Hik-ProConnect app on your phone, or log into the Hik-ProConnect website.

Select your Site
Click Customer Site in the left menu, then open your site with the AX Pro panel connected.

Enable TetherX as ARC
- Go to the ARC Service tab
- Click Select ARC
- Search for and select TetherX Ltd as your ARC provider
- Enable your AX Pro panel to allow alarm data sharing with TetherX


Part 2: Add the Alarm in TetherX
Now add your Hik-ProConnect account to TetherX and link your alarm panel.
Open the Alarms Page

Add a New Alarm
Click the New Alarm button.

Select Hikvision AX PRO
Choose Hikvision AX PRO from the available alarm types.

Enter your Hik-ProConnect Credentials
Enter the email and password for your Hik-ProConnect account, then click Create.

Fetch Available Alarms
Click the Fetch button to retrieve alarms from your Hik-ProConnect account.

Alarm Linked Successfully
Your alarm is now linked. Note the Transmitter ID shown - you'll need this for the next step if you want real-time alarms.
Click Show Alarm to view and control the panel.

Part 3: Configure Real-Time Alarms (Optional)

Alternatively, if you're on the same network as the panel, enter its IP address directly in your web browser.
