Watch our walkthrough, then explore the controls below. Menus and available features can vary by app version and equipment.

Remote access needs an internet connection and a configured compatible system. Playback needs available recordings. Features such as motorized zoom, PTZ movement, two-way audio and warning sounds require cameras and recorders that support them.

1. See your cameras live

Check your home or business from your phone. Arrange up to 16 camera views on one screen, then open a single camera when you want a closer look.

2. Review recorded video

Choose a date and time to find footage stored on your compatible recorder. Review what happened without having to stand in front of the recorder.

3. Save clips and snapshots

Keep a useful video clip or still image on your phone. Save the moment you need from available recordings so it is easier to review or share.

4. Watch multiple locations

Keep compatible systems for your home, shop, office or other locations together in the app. Give each location a clear name so the right cameras are easy to find.

7. Control motorized zoom and PTZ cameras

Adjust the view from your phone on compatible motorized-zoom cameras. With a compatible PTZ camera, you can also pan and tilt. Optical zoom and camera movement depend on the camera model; fixed-lens cameras do not gain motorized controls.

8. Listen and talk through compatible cameras

Listen through cameras with supported audio. With a compatible two-way-audio camera, use the app to speak with someone near the camera, such as a visitor at an entrance.

Where is your video recorded?

Your compatible Network Video Recorder (NVR) or Digital Video Recorder (DVR) stores footage locally on its hard drive. The app lets you view available recordings remotely and save selected clips to your phone. The free app does not mean cloud recording is included.
