Yes, the LWS380 app is completely free to download and use. All features including live viewing, PTZ control, two-way audio, motion alerts, and TF card playback are available at no cost. There is no cloud storage subscription — all recordings are stored locally on the camera's TF card.
How do I set up LWS380 with my camera?
Download the LWS380 app, create an account or log in, power on your compatible camera, and tap 'Add Device' in the app. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your camera to your Wi-Fi network. Make sure your camera supports the LWS380/Luowice ecosystem before attempting setup.
Why can't I register an account on LWS380?
Some users report issues with account registration, particularly with verification codes not being received via email or phone. Try using a phone number instead of email for verification. Ensure your network connection is stable and check your spam/junk folder for verification emails. If issues persist, try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
Why does LWS380 show 'abnormal network connection'?
The 'abnormal network connection' error typically occurs due to unstable internet, VPN interference, or server-side issues. Try: disabling any VPN, switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data, restarting the app, or checking if your firewall is blocking the app's connection. Ensure your camera is on a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.
What cameras are compatible with LWS380?
LWS380 works with wireless IP security cameras from the Lieju/Luowice ecosystem and cameras that use the MacroVideo platform (package ID: com.macrovideo.lws380). Compatible cameras include various Luowice-branded PTZ cameras, indoor Wi-Fi cameras, and outdoor wireless cameras. Check your camera's documentation or packaging for LWS380 compatibility.
Can I share my camera with other people?
Yes, LWS380 supports camera sharing. You can share your camera ID with family members or friends, allowing them to watch real-time video feeds, view TF card recordings, and even make real-time voice calls through the camera. This makes it easy for multiple people to monitor the same location.
Does LWS380 support cloud storage?
LWS380 primarily relies on TF (microSD) card storage for video recordings. The app does not offer a cloud storage subscription service. All footage is recorded locally on the TF card inserted in your camera, which means there are no recurring subscription costs for video storage.
How do I play back recorded footage?
To view recorded footage, tap the playback icon in the app and select the date and time range you want to review. The app will retrieve and play back video stored on the TF (microSD) card in your camera. Make sure a TF card is properly inserted in your camera for recording to work.
Does LWS380 work on PC or Mac?
LWS380 is primarily designed as a mobile app for iOS and Android. On macOS, it can run on Macs with Apple M1 chip or later (macOS 11.0+) through the iOS app compatibility feature. There is no dedicated Windows desktop application. Some users run LWS380 via Android emulators on PC, but this is not officially supported.

Works perfectly with my Luowice PTZ camera. The pan-tilt-zoom control is smooth and responsive. I can check on my garage and backyard from my office. TF card playback is a great free feature.
Pricing InfoCompletely free to download and use. All features including live viewing, PTZ control, two-way audio, motion alerts, and TF card playback are available at no cost. No cloud storage subscription — all recordings are stored locally on the camera's TF (microSD) card.
I set up three cameras at home with LWS380. The live view is clear and the motion alerts are timely. Camera sharing with my wife means we both get notifications. Good free alternative to subscription-based apps.
Google Play
Using it to monitor my shop during off hours. The PTZ control lets me scan the entire store from my phone. Two-way audio is useful for speaking to late employees. No monthly fees is the best part.
Google Play
Decent app for basic surveillance. Supports 20 languages which is impressive. HD/SD toggle is handy when my network is slow. The TF card playback works without issues.
Google Play
I watch my cats while at work using the PTZ camera. The two-way audio lets me talk to them. Night vision through the camera is clear enough. Free app with no hidden costs — exactly what I needed.
App Store
Functional camera app for Luowice/Lieju cameras. PTZ control, live view, and TF card playback all work as expected. The interface is basic but gets the job done. Would appreciate more frequent updates.
App Store
Good for checking on my elderly parents' home. The camera sharing feature means my siblings can also keep an eye out. Alert notifications are reliable. App runs well on my iPhone.
App Store
It works for basic monitoring — live view and PTZ are fine. The app design feels a bit dated and could use a modern refresh. Registration was tricky at first but eventually worked with phone number.
App Store
Monitoring my small factory floor with two cameras. Video quality in HD mode is acceptable. The snapshot feature is useful for documenting incidents. Stable enough for daily use.
App Store
Does what it says — lets you view your camera remotely. The PTZ function works well. TF card playback could be faster to load. Overall a solid free option if your camera is compatible.
