By default, Health Monitoring Service is enabled for the added devices. For devices with health monitoring service disabled, you cannot upgrade device firmware, set linkage rules (the existing linkage rules will be invalid), set and receive exceptions, and check device health status.
After adding the device, the Hik-ProConnect starts detecting whether the device firmware version is compatible. Some functions (including health monitoring, linkage rule, and remote configuration) are unavailable if the device is not compatible with the Hik-ProConnect.
For AX Pro, after adding an AX Pro to Hik-ProConnect, the Installer and Installer Admin's accounts will become the accounts of the AX Pro; these accounts will be deleted after the Installer deletes the AX Pro from Hik-ProConnect. If you edit an Installer's login password, the password for logging in to the AX Pro by this account will also change.
After authorizing a site with AX Pro to an Installer, the Installer and Installer Admin's accounts will become the accounts of the AX Pro; besides, the account with the permission of managing all sites will also become the account of the AX Pro.
If an Installer hands over the site with this AX Pro to an end user, the end user's Hik-Connect account will also become an account of the AX Pro, while the Installer's account will be deleted from the AX Pro. This is also applicable to an Installer Admin.
