Stavix — Smart home camera and device management app by STAVIX / Gotech. Live video streaming, cloud alarm recording, device sharing, and AI-powered motion detection for Stavix-branded Wi-Fi security cameras and smart home devices on iOS and Android.
Stavix is a free smart home device management app developed by STAVIX INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD (Sichuan Gotech). It allows you to connect, control, and monitor Stavix-compatible Wi-Fi security cameras and smart home devices. Key features include live video streaming, AI-powered motion detection, cloud alarm recording, device sharing with family members, and smart scene automation.
Yes, the Stavix app is free to download and use. All core features including live viewing, device management, motion detection alerts, and device sharing are available at no cost. Cloud alarm recording for motion-triggered event clips is available through optional in-app subscription plans ranging from $1.99/month to $89.99/year depending on retention period. Local microSD card recording on compatible cameras is included free.
Download the Stavix app, create an account or log in, and power on your Stavix-compatible camera. Tap 'Add Device' in the app and follow the on-screen Wi-Fi setup instructions. Stavix supports QR code scanning and AP mode pairing for quick device onboarding. Make sure your camera and phone are on the same 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network during setup.
Common Wi-Fi connection issues include: the camera only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi (not 5GHz), the Wi-Fi password contains special characters, the camera is too far from the router, or the router has too many connected devices. Ensure you are using a 2.4GHz network, move the camera closer to the router during setup, verify your password is correct, and try resetting the camera to factory defaults before re-pairing.
Stavix offers several cloud alarm subscription plans: 3-Day, 7-Day, 15-Day, and 30-Day cloud alarm recording with monthly, 6-month, and annual billing options. There is also a 15-Day continuous cloud storage plan. Prices range from $1.99/month to $89.99/year. Cloud recordings are automatically uploaded when motion is detected, providing off-site backup even if the camera or SD card is damaged.
Yes, Stavix supports device sharing. You can invite family members to view and manage your cameras through the app. Shared users can watch live feeds and receive motion alerts. This makes it easy for the whole household to stay connected to your home security system without sharing login credentials.
Stavix is designed as a mobile app for iOS (13.0+) and Android (5.0+) devices. There is no official PC or Mac desktop application. The iOS version also supports Apple Vision Pro via visionOS 1.0+. Some users run the Android version on PC using an Android emulator, but this is not officially supported.
Stavix works with Stavix-branded Wi-Fi security cameras, including indoor PTZ cameras, outdoor wireless cameras, doorbell cameras, and baby monitors. The app also supports devices from multiple brands within the broader Stavix/Gotech ecosystem. Check the Stavix product catalog or the app's device compatibility list for specific model support.
Yes, the latest version of Stavix (2.7.4) includes AI intelligent recognition support. This feature uses artificial intelligence to analyze motion events more accurately, helping to reduce false alarms caused by pets, shadows, swaying trees, or other non-threatening movement. AI detection is available on supported camera models.
On the Stavix login screen, tap 'Forgot Password'. Enter the email address or phone number associated with your account and follow the instructions to reset your password. If you don't receive the reset notification, check your spam folder. For additional support, contact the Stavix team at [email protected].
Stavix works well for basic home monitoring. I connected two cameras and the live feed is stable. The device sharing feature is great for my family — everyone can check the cameras from their own phone.
App does what it advertises — connects cameras and shows live feeds. The cloud alarm plans are reasonably priced. Interface could be more polished but it gets the job done for the price.
Using Stavix as a baby monitor and it works great. Two-way audio lets me talk to my baby from another room. Night vision is clear enough to see well. The push notifications for motion are responsive.
Impressed by the AI detection feature in the latest update. It's much better at distinguishing between people and pets now. Setup was smooth with QR code scanning. Good value for money cameras and app.
Functional app for Stavix cameras. The multi-brand support is a nice touch. Cloud storage pricing is competitive. Wish there was a desktop viewer for PC/Mac though. Overall a solid free option.
Good smart home app. I use it with three Stavix cameras around my house. The scene management feature is useful for automating lights with motion detection. Stable connection and decent night vision.
Decent camera app for the price. Live streaming works reliably once you get past the WiFi setup. Make sure to use 2.4GHz — it doesn't support 5GHz. The 17 language support is impressive for this tier.
Simple and works well. I share camera access with my husband and we both get alerts. The cloud alarm plans save us from needing to constantly check the SD card. Good for basic home security needs.
Love using Stavix to watch my cats when I'm at work! The AI recognition is smart enough to tell the difference between my cat walking and an actual person. Two-way audio lets me call them too. Great app.
Works well for a free app. The Stavix cameras are affordable and the app pairs with them easily. Cloud options are optional which is nice — you can just use SD card if you want. No complaints at this price point.
