みまもるeye (Mimamoru Eye) is a free companion app developed by SHENZHEN APICAL TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD for Elecom-branded Wi-Fi smart cameras. It provides remote live video viewing, PTZ control, two-way audio, motion detection push notifications, and supports local microSD recording and optional Antenna-eye cloud recording.
みまもるeye supports Elecom CNW3CPB1 (PTZ with person auto-tracking and Antenna-eye cloud), Elecom WECAA1 (local microSD up to 256GB, no cloud), Elecom CNW4CPF1 (PTZ auto-tracking), and other ELECOM-branded Wi-Fi smart cameras. Check the Elecom product page for the latest compatibility list.
Yes, the app is free to download and use. Core features including live viewing, PTZ control, two-way audio, and motion alerts are free. Local microSD recording is free. The Antenna-eye cloud recording service is an optional paid subscription available for supported models like the CNW3CPB1.
Antenna-eye is Elecom's cloud recording service. When motion is detected, video clips are automatically uploaded to secure cloud servers. It requires a paid subscription and is only available on select Elecom camera models such as the CNW3CPB1. The WECAA1 model does not support cloud recording.
Download the みまもるeye app, create an account or log in, power on your Elecom camera and wait for the setup indicator. Tap 'Add Device' in the app and follow the on-screen Wi-Fi pairing instructions. Most Elecom cameras use QR code or sound-wave pairing for initial setup.
Common causes: your camera only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi (not 5GHz), the Wi-Fi password contains special characters, or the camera is too far from the router. Try using a 2.4GHz network and placing the camera close to the router during initial setup.
Yes, みまもるeye supports family sharing. You can invite family members so multiple people can view the live feed simultaneously and receive motion detection alerts on their own devices.
Yes, person auto-tracking is supported on compatible PTZ models such as the Elecom CNW3CPB1 and CNW4CPF1. When a person is detected, the camera automatically pans and tilts to keep them in frame.
みまもるeye supports microSD cards up to 256GB on compatible models such as the Elecom WECAA1. Always use a Class 10 or higher card for reliable recording performance.
The app is available on the App Store and Google Play globally, though it is primarily designed for use with Elecom cameras sold in Japan. The app supports 11 languages: Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, and Russian.
Really convenient for watching over my elderly mother at home. The PTZ control lets me check every corner of the room. Setup was straightforward with the QR code method. Two-way audio works well for calling out to her.
Using this to watch my cats while at work. The person auto-tracking feature follows my cats around the room. Night vision is excellent. Highly recommend for pet owners who want to keep an eye on their animals.
The app works for basic monitoring. Connection is stable once set up. The initial Wi-Fi setup took a few attempts but succeeded in the end. Would like to see the UI updated to feel more modern.
Good integration with Elecom CNW3CPB1 camera. Cloud recording with Antenna-eye works reliably. Motion alerts arrive quickly. Family sharing is easy to set up. Solid app for home monitoring.
Using as a baby monitor. Two-way audio quality is decent with slight delay. Live view loads quickly after opening the app. MicroSD recording works great with no subscription needed. Good value overall.
Easy to set up and reliable daily use. The Elecom WECAA1 works well with this app. microSD recording is free and stores up to 256GB which is plenty. Motion detection is accurate and push notifications arrive promptly.
App does its job. Live streaming works well over 4G. PTZ response is a bit slow compared to other apps I've used, but functional. Cloud recording through Antenna-eye is convenient once you subscribe.
Perfect for watching over the house while traveling. The family sharing feature means both my wife and I can check the cameras from our phones. Motion alerts are reliable and the night vision is clear.
Excellent app for elder care monitoring. The auto-tracking PTZ on the CNW3CPB1 follows my father around the room automatically. Temperature sensor is a bonus for checking the room conditions. Very peace of mind.
Good app but could use improvements. The UI is a bit outdated and navigating between cameras can be slow. Core functions work though — live view, motion alerts, and recording are all reliable.
Home monitoring has never been more accessible. With an Elecom Wi-Fi smart camera and the みまもるeye (Mimamoru Eye) app, you can keep a watchful eye on your home, family members, pets, and living spaces — from anywhere, at any time. The Japanese word "みまもる" (mimamoru) means "to watch over" or "to guard," perfectly capturing the caring purpose of this application.
