It allows you to remotely live-view your cameras, play back DVR recordings, and receive motion detection push notifications — all via a secure Cloud P2P connection. The app is free to download and use on both iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play) with no subscription fees required.
How do I add my SANNCE DVR to the SANNCE HOME app?
To add your SANNCE DVR: (1) Open the SANNCE HOME app and create an account or sign in; (2) Tap '+' to add a new device; (3) On your DVR, navigate to Network → Cloud to display the QR code; (4) Scan the QR code with the app, or manually enter the device serial number (found in Device Info → Version); (5) Enter the DVR username (default: admin) and password; (6) Tap Connect. Your DVR will now appear in your device list for remote viewing.
Does SANNCE HOME require port forwarding?
No. SANNCE HOME uses Cloud P2P technology to connect to your DVR, which means you do not need to configure port forwarding, set up a static IP address, or make any router changes. As long as your DVR is connected to the internet and you have a SANNCE account, remote access works automatically.
Can I use SANNCE HOME on a PC or Mac?
SANNCE HOME itself is a mobile app for iOS and Android. However, you can view your SANNCE cameras on a computer using: (1) Guarding Vision — the official Windows desktop software, available at sannce.com/pages/sannce-download-center; (2) XMEye web portal at xmeye.net — works in any browser without software installation; (3) An Android emulator like BlueStacks on Windows or Mac. Once your DVR is added in SANNCE HOME, it will automatically appear in Guarding Vision under the same account.
Why is SANNCE HOME not connecting to my DVR?
If SANNCE HOME cannot connect to your DVR: (1) Verify your DVR is powered on and connected to the internet via Ethernet cable; (2) Check that Cloud P2P is enabled on your DVR — go to DVR menu → Network → Cloud and ensure it shows 'Connected'; (3) Make sure you are using the correct DVR username and password; (4) Restart both the DVR and the app; (5) Ensure your phone has a stable internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data); (6) If the issue persists, try removing and re-adding the device in the app. Contact [email protected] for further assistance.
How do I receive motion detection alerts on SANNCE HOME?
To receive motion detection push notifications: (1) Enable motion detection on your DVR — go to DVR menu → Channel → Motion Detection and turn it on for the desired cameras; (2) In the SANNCE HOME app, ensure push notifications are enabled in device settings; (3) On your phone, allow notification permissions for the SANNCE HOME app; (4) On Android, disable battery optimization for the app to prevent the system from blocking background notifications.
What DVR systems are compatible with SANNCE HOME?
SANNCE HOME is compatible with SANNCE DVR systems that support Cloud P2P remote access. This includes SANNCE 4-channel, 8-channel, and 16-channel DVR recorders sold with SANNCE home security camera kits. The app works with both 1080p and 5MP SANNCE DVR systems. For NVR systems or standalone IP cameras, consider using SANNCE Vision or SANNCE Sight instead.
How do I play back recorded footage on SANNCE HOME?
To play back DVR recordings: (1) Open the SANNCE HOME app and select your DVR from the device list; (2) Tap the Playback button; (3) Select the date and camera channel you want to review; (4) Use the timeline to navigate to specific times; (5) The app will stream the recorded footage from your DVR's hard drive. Note: Playback quality and speed depend on your internet connection and the DVR's recording resolution settings.
Is SANNCE HOME free? Are there any subscription fees?
Yes, SANNCE HOME is completely free. There are no subscription fees, monthly charges, cloud storage fees, or in-app purchases. All features — including live viewing, remote playback, and motion detection alerts — are available at no cost. The app connects directly to your DVR's local storage, so there is no need for paid cloud storage plans.
What is the difference between SANNCE HOME and SANNCE Vision?
SANNCE HOME is designed specifically for SANNCE DVR systems using Cloud P2P for simple, account-based remote access. SANNCE Vision supports a broader range of devices including DVRs, NVRs, and standalone IP cameras, and offers more advanced features. If you have a SANNCE DVR and want the simplest setup, use SANNCE HOME. If you have an NVR or need more advanced camera management, use SANNCE Vision.

Exceeds my expectations! I did not expect much out of this app, seeing as the surveillance system I bought was fairly inexpensive and obviously Chinese made. The app actually works very well. I have not had to reboot my system once in almost a year because of connectivity bugs, and I have been able to view my cameras reliably from anywhere.

New update makes this app amazing. Thank you for the improvements — the latest version is much more stable and the interface is cleaner. Remote viewing works perfectly now.
App Store
I like them. However, I wish this app was available for the Apple TV! It would be great to pull up the cameras on the big screen. Other than that, the app works well for checking the cameras on my phone.
App Store
Sometimes the video is not perfectly clear but overall it does the job. Easy to set up and I can check on my house when I'm at work. The motion alerts are useful for knowing when someone is at the door.
App Store
Very reliable app for my SANNCE 8-channel DVR system. Live view loads quickly and the playback feature lets me check recordings from anywhere. Setup was straightforward — just scanned the QR code and it connected immediately. No subscription fees is a huge plus.
Google Play
Great app for SANNCE DVR cameras. I've been using it for over a year now and it's been very stable. The Cloud P2P connection means I didn't have to mess with port forwarding on my router. Live view and playback both work smoothly. Highly recommend for anyone with a SANNCE system.
Google Play
Using this to monitor my retail shop after hours. The motion detection alerts are really helpful — I get a notification on my phone whenever there's movement in the store. The playback feature lets me review footage easily. Only wish the app had a landscape mode for better viewing.
Google Play
Installed a SANNCE 4-channel system at my house and this app makes remote viewing dead simple. No complicated network setup needed — just scan the QR code and you're done. The free remote access with no monthly fees is exactly what I was looking for.
Google Play
Solid app for the price point of SANNCE cameras. I can check all 8 cameras from my phone while at work. The multi-channel view is handy for seeing everything at once. Motion alerts work well most of the time. Overall a reliable free solution for home security monitoring.
Google Play
Decent app for managing multiple SANNCE DVR systems across different properties. The Cloud P2P makes it easy to connect without configuring each router. Playback works well for reviewing incidents. Could use some UI polish but the core functionality is reliable.
