Setup is typically complete within 5 minutes.
Does the Seeing app require a subscription?
The Seeing app is free to download and basic features like live view, two-way talk, and motion alerts are free. Cloud video storage requires a subscription: 6-month plan at $28.99 or 1-year plan at $29.99. A free trial subscription is available for new users to test cloud features before purchasing.
What WiFi frequency does Seeing support?
Seeing cameras and doorbells only support 2.4GHz WiFi networks. 5GHz networks are not supported. Make sure your router has 2.4GHz enabled and connect your phone to the 2.4GHz network before setting up your device.
How long does the battery last on Seeing cameras?
Battery life varies depending on usage and settings. With typical use including moderate motion detection activity, most users report 3-4 weeks of battery life on a single charge. Adjusting motion sensitivity, reducing detection frequency, and using scheduled detection zones can extend battery life.
Can I share camera access with family members?
Yes, the Seeing app supports device sharing. You can invite family members to view your camera feeds by sharing access through the app. Shared users can view live video, receive alerts, and use two-way talk, but cannot modify device settings or remove devices.
Does the Seeing app support night vision?
Yes, all Seeing cameras and doorbells include infrared night vision that automatically activates in low-light conditions. The night vision provides clear black-and-white video in complete darkness, typically with a range of 15-30 feet depending on the camera model.
What should I do if my camera won't connect to WiFi?
First, make sure you are using a 2.4GHz WiFi network — Seeing does not support 5GHz. Move your camera closer to the router during setup. Reset your camera by pressing and holding the reset button for 10 seconds. Restart the Seeing app and try pairing again. If problems persist, check that your WiFi password is correct and your router allows new device connections.
Can I use the Seeing app on multiple phones?
Yes, you can log into your Seeing account on multiple devices simultaneously. All phones logged into the same account will have access to the same cameras and receive the same notifications. You can also use the device sharing feature to give different accounts access to your cameras.
How does human detection work in the Seeing app?
Human detection uses AI algorithms to analyze the camera feed and distinguish human shapes from other moving objects like animals, vehicles, or swaying trees. This significantly reduces false alarms. You can adjust the human detection sensitivity in the app settings and choose to receive alerts only when humans are detected.
Is my video data secure with the Seeing app?
Seeing uses end-to-end encryption for video transmission between the camera and the app. Cloud storage data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Lonsen Electronics Limited's privacy policy states that personal data is protected according to GDPR, CCPA, and other international privacy regulations. The app does not share video data with third parties.

These cameras are absolutely amazing. The quality and the battery life last about a good month. You can set your human motion for different levels so then it'll pick up just bigger things like humans, not animals. The night vision is crystal clear too. Best security camera system I've owned.
Pricing InfoFree to download with optional cloud storage subscriptions. 6-month plan at $28.99 or 1-year plan at $29.99 for cloud video storage and playback. Free trial subscription available for new users. Basic features including live view, two-way talk, and motion alerts are free. Cloud recording and extended video history require a paid subscription.
I love the camera. The microphone is powerful and there's very little lag. I can do so many features like Zoom, Pan, and Record. Setup was super easy through the Seeing app — just scanned the QR code and it connected in minutes. Highly recommend for anyone looking for affordable home security.
App Store
Two friends of mine came over to install. They were blown away as to what this outdoor security system with exterior camera came with and could do. The video quality is outstanding and the motion detection works perfectly. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for reliable home security.
App Store
Great value doorbell camera. The Seeing app makes it easy to see who's at the door without getting up. Two-way talk works well with minimal delay. Battery lasts about 3 weeks with moderate activity. Only wish the cloud storage was a bit cheaper, but the free trial was nice to test it out.
App Store
Installed the Seeing doorbell to keep an eye on packages being delivered. The human detection feature is a game changer — no more alerts every time a car drives by. Night vision is decent and the app notifications are fast. Would be 5 stars if the app had Apple Watch support.
Google Play
Just installed the Seeing video doorbell and I'm impressed. The 1080p video quality is excellent for the price point. Two-way audio is clear and the PIR motion detection is very responsive. The app is intuitive and the QR code setup took less than 5 minutes. Already ordered a second one for the back door.
Google Play
First time buying a smart doorbell and the Seeing system made it easy. The app walks you through setup step by step. Video quality is good during the day and acceptable at night. Human detection works most of the time. Battery life is impressive — lasted almost a month on first charge.
Google Play
Perfect for renters because it's completely wireless — no drilling or wiring needed. The Seeing camera sticks to the wall with the included mount. App works great on my Android phone. Push notifications come through fast when someone is at my door. Love that I can share access with my roommate.
Google Play
Good security camera system for the money. I have two Seeing cameras and one doorbell all managed through the same app. The multi-device view is handy. Cloud storage subscription is reasonably priced compared to Ring or Nest. My only complaint is it only supports 2.4GHz WiFi which can be slow sometimes.
Google Play
Bought the Seeing doorbell as a budget alternative to Ring and I'm not disappointed. Video quality is surprisingly good, the human detection actually works, and the two-way talk is clear enough. The app is straightforward and the free trial subscription let me test cloud storage before committing. Great value.
