You can either install a custom home launcher OR go to your settings, then applications … then select iVMS-4500 HD and chose ‘open’. By default, the app still does not show up on the main home screen view as it’s not designed for the TV. Then, using File Commander – locate the APK on the USB stick and install the app on the TV, like you would with any normal app on Android. Now insert the USB stick into the TV and ensure the ‘Allow installing unknown apps’ is ticked in the security settings. You will need to download File Commander for Android (Can be downloaded officially on TV). I decided to download iVMS-4500 initially, however this runs with the rotation the wrong way on the TV (portrait), so I suggest going straight for the HD version which is designed for tablet devices. Knowing that APK files (the extension of Android Apps) could be found online by searching Google and even from Hikvision’s Portal. However, opening the Google Play store on the TV does not display the iVMS-4500 app as it’s not technically supported for the Android TV platform, which in theory is still Android underneath, but themed to work on a larger display – the TV. The Sony Bravia KD43XD8305BU is a Smart TV that runs the Android platform, so I thought that surely we are already halfway there to install an Android app. If you don’t have an Android phone, you many also need a USB Keyboard and a USB HUB.įile Commander for Android (Can be downloaded officially on TV) Hikvision NVR ( DS7716NI-I4/16P) – although in theory the DVR / NVR doesn’t really matter. You also have a Hikvision CCTV system and want to install another app, in particular iVMS-4500 so that you can view your cameras on your Smart TV that is not connected directly via a cable such as HDMI or VGA.Ĭan it be done? The short answer is ‘yes’ – but be warned that its not simple, nor is it as ‘smooth’ as you would expect it to be on a mobile device. So you have a Smart TV and want to install apps, apps and more apps.
