IP camera viewer for RTSP & ONVIF security cameras, CCTV and NVRs on Android
IP Camera Viewer & Monitor is an IP camera viewer for the RTSP and ONVIF security cameras and NVRs you already own. Find cameras on your home Wi-Fi, watch live video straight from each camera and keep every view on your phone or tablet, with no account and no cloud relay.
Find your cameras automatically
• ONVIF discovery scans your network and lists every device it finds
• Add a camera by IP address, port and login, or scan a QR code with an rtsp:// link
• "Find Stream Path" detects the right RTSP path for popular brands
• An NVR becomes one tile per channel, up to 16 channels
• Built-in help when a camera won't show up, with brand-specific setup tips
RTSP player that reconnects on its own
• Plays the RTSP stream directly, with nothing in between
• Reconnects automatically and switches to the sub-stream on weak Wi-Fi
• Stops retrying after a rejected password, so your NVR doesn't lock the account
• Pinch to zoom up to 5x, and mute or adjust audio per stream
• Picture-in-picture keeps one live view on screen while you use other apps
Multi-view for your CCTV system
• See all your security cameras at once in a live grid
• Group cameras by room or site with 2, 4, 6 or 9 camera layouts
• Thumbnails refresh on their own, in 1, 2 or 3 columns (3 on tablets)
ONVIF control, snapshots and recording
• PTZ pad to pan, tilt and zoom ONVIF cameras
• Night vision control: set the IR filter to Auto, On or Off
• Save snapshots to your gallery or share them
• Record MP4 clips from the live view and play them back in the app
Local by design
Many camera apps let you watch from anywhere by sending your video through the manufacturer's servers. IP Camera Viewer doesn't. Your cameras stream directly to your phone or tablet over your own network, so your video stays between your camera and you. You don't need an app account to view your own cameras. Camera passwords are stored encrypted on your device, and an optional fingerprint or face lock protects the app. Back up cameras, groups and snapshots to a password-protected file.
Watching from away (advanced)
There's no built-in cloud relay, on purpose. To watch from anywhere, first connect your phone to your home network with your own VPN. Many home routers have a WireGuard or OpenVPN server built in, or you can use Tailscale. Once connected, every camera works exactly as it does at home. VPN subscription apps that hide your location can't reach your home network.
Works with
Hikvision, Dahua, Lorex, Amcrest, Reolink, Axis, Foscam, D-Link, TP-Link Tapo, UniFi, VStarcam and other ONVIF or RTSP cameras and NVRs on your local network. Cloud-only cameras that don't offer RTSP or ONVIF can't be opened by any third-party viewer.
How it works
1. Connect your phone to the same network as your cameras
2. Tap Discover, or add a camera by IP address or QR code
3. Enter the camera's username and password
4. Watch live, then group your cameras and open multi-view
Who it is for
Homeowners checking their security camera system, parents using an IP camera as a baby monitor, pet owners, and small businesses watching the shop floor from the back office.

Novedades
New in this version:
• Cameras on a Wi-Fi without internet, like a camera's own setup Wi-Fi or a router whose internet is down, can now be found and watched
• On that Wi-Fi the app no longer says you're on cellular, and a scan that finds nothing explains what to do next
• The Snapshots screen opens faster and uses far less memory
