Technical Specifications
App Name (Android)gCMOB
App Name (iOS)iCMOB
Package ID (Android)com.mm.android.direct.g_CMOB_XU
gCMOB is designed to work with CP Plus security devices including DVRs (Digital Video Recorders), NVRs (Network Video Recorders), IP cameras, and video door phones. It supports devices that use the InstaOn cloud platform for easy remote connectivity. The app is available for Android devices and the iOS counterpart is called iCMOB.
How do I add a device to gCMOB?
You can add a device to gCMOB in three ways: (1) Scan the QR code or InstaOn ID printed on your CP Plus device, (2) Enter the device serial number manually along with the IP address/domain and port, or (3) Use the InstaOn cloud platform to automatically discover and connect to your devices. After adding, log in with your DVR/NVR username and password to start viewing.
Is gCMOB free to use?
Yes, gCMOB is completely free to download and use. There are no subscription fees, in-app purchases, or premium tiers. All features including live view, playback, push notifications, PTZ control, and two-way talk are available at no cost. The app is the official companion for CP Plus security systems.
Can I use gCMOB on PC or Mac?
gCMOB itself is a mobile app for Android (with iCMOB for iOS). For PC/Mac monitoring, CP Plus provides KVMS Pro — a dedicated desktop software for Windows. You can also use Android emulators like BlueStacks to run gCMOB on a PC, though KVMS Pro is the recommended desktop solution for full functionality.
What is InstaOn and how does it work with gCMOB?
InstaOn is CP Plus's cloud connectivity platform that eliminates the need for complex port forwarding or static IP configuration. When your CP Plus DVR/NVR is connected to the internet, InstaOn creates a secure cloud tunnel that allows gCMOB to connect to your device from anywhere. Simply scan the InstaOn QR code on your device to get started — no network expertise required.
Why does gCMOB show 'Connection Failed'?
Connection failures can be caused by several factors: (1) Check your internet connection on both the phone and the DVR/NVR, (2) Verify the device serial number, username, and password are correct, (3) Ensure the DVR/NVR is powered on and connected to your network, (4) If using direct IP connection, check port forwarding settings, (5) Try using InstaOn cloud access instead of direct IP, (6) Update gCMOB to the latest version, as older versions may have compatibility issues.
How many cameras can I view at once in gCMOB?
gCMOB supports flexible live preview with split-screen layouts of up to 16 channels simultaneously. You can swipe to switch between camera groups when you have more than 16 cameras. For playback, the app supports up to 4 channels of simultaneous recorded video viewing.
What is the difference between gCMOB and iCMOB?
gCMOB is the Android version and iCMOB is the iOS version of the same CP Plus mobile surveillance app. Both apps offer the same core features: live view, playback, PTZ control, push notifications, InstaOn cloud access, and two-way talk. The user interface and feature set are essentially identical across platforms.

Been using iCMOB for my office CCTV system for over a year. The multi-channel view works well for monitoring 8 cameras simultaneously. Playback is easy to navigate. Sometimes connection drops briefly but reconnects quickly. Overall a solid surveillance app.

Perfect companion for my CP Plus DVR. I can check my home cameras while at work anytime. Push notifications for motion detection give me peace of mind. The PIP feature is great — I can watch cameras while using other apps. Free with no hidden costs!

Reliable surveillance app for CP Plus equipment. InstaOn cloud makes remote access incredibly easy — no port forwarding needed. Two-way talk through the video door phone works well. Would love to see landscape mode improvements on iPad.

Managing 3 retail stores with CP Plus NVRs and this app handles it perfectly. I can switch between all locations quickly. The device health monitoring alerts me if any camera goes offline. Best free surveillance app for CP Plus users.
Google Play
Excellent app for home security monitoring. I installed CP Plus cameras at my home and gCMOB lets me check everything from my phone. The QR code setup was very easy. Live view quality is great and I get instant alerts when someone is at my door.
Google Play
Good surveillance app overall. I use it to monitor my shop and the 16-channel split view is very useful. Playback works well for checking incidents. Only issue is sometimes the app takes time to load initially. After latest update, performance has improved.

Best CCTV monitoring app! I have been using gCMOB for 3 years with my CP Plus DVR. InstaOn makes it so easy to connect without any technical knowledge. The two-way talk feature is useful for my video door phone. Highly recommend to everyone.

Very useful for keeping an eye on my house while I'm traveling. The picture quality is good and notifications come through quickly. I appreciate that the app is completely free with no premium features locked behind a paywall. The new WhatsApp support feature is a nice addition.
