Is TENVISTY free to use?
Yes, TENVISTY is completely free to download and use with no in-app purchases or subscription plans. All features including live viewing, PTZ control, push notifications, and video playback are available at no cost. There is no cloud storage service — all recordings are stored locally on microSD cards.
How do I set up a TENVIS camera with TENVISTY?
Download TENVISTY from the App Store or Google Play, power on your TENVIS camera, open the app and tap 'Add Camera', then scan the QR code on your camera to connect. Enter your Wi-Fi password when prompted and the camera will join your network automatically.
Why is my TENVIS camera not connecting?
Common connection issues include: your camera only supports 2.4GHz WiFi (not 5GHz), the WiFi password contains special characters, the camera is too far from the router, or your router has MAC address filtering enabled. Ensure you're using a 2.4GHz network and move the camera closer to the router during initial setup.
Does TENVISTY have a PC or Mac version?
TENVISTY is designed as a mobile app for iOS and Android. There is no official PC or Mac desktop client. TENVIS does provide separate PC software for some camera models — check tenvis.com/support for downloads. Some users run the Android version on PC using emulators, but this is not officially supported.
What is the difference between TENVISTY and New TENVIS?
TENVISTY and 'New TENVIS' are separate apps published by TENVIS Technology. Some newer TENVIS camera models may work better with the 'New TENVIS' app. Check your camera's documentation or packaging to determine which app is recommended for your specific model.
How does TENVISTY store recordings?
TENVISTY stores all recordings locally on a microSD card inserted in your TENVIS camera. There is no cloud storage option. You can browse and play back recorded clips through the app's playback section. The microSD card capacity depends on your camera model, typically supporting up to 64GB or 128GB.
Can I share my TENVIS camera with family members?
Yes, TENVISTY supports camera sharing. You can share your camera access with other users so they can view the live feed from their own devices. Shared users can watch the stream but may have limited camera control permissions.
Why are push notifications not working?
Push notification issues are commonly caused by: notification permissions not granted in your phone settings, the app running in battery-saver mode, motion detection sensitivity set too low in camera settings, or network connectivity problems. Check your phone's notification settings for TENVISTY and ensure the camera has stable WiFi connection.
How do I reset my TENVISTY camera password?
If you've forgotten your camera's login password, you may need to perform a hardware reset on the camera itself by pressing and holding the reset button for 10-15 seconds. After reset, the camera returns to default credentials (typically admin/admin). Then re-add the camera in the TENVISTY app and set a new password.

I was surprised how easy the setup was. Just scanned the QR code and the camera connected right away. I can check on my house while I'm at work and the connection stays stable. Motion alerts are a bit sensitive but at least I know nothing gets missed.

No subscription plans or in-app purchases required. Cloud storage is not offered — all recordings are stored locally on microSD cards inserted in compatible TENVIS cameras.
Had to reset the cameras a couple of times to get everything working, but once configured it's been reliable. Actually caught a footage of my elderly parent falling and we were able to get help immediately. The app could look better but it does its job.
App Store
The live view works well and picture quality is decent for the price of the camera. Push notifications don't always come through on my iPhone X which is frustrating. Had trouble setting up email alerts with my iCloud account. Basic but functional app.
App Store
Good free camera app for TENVIS cameras. PTZ control is smooth and responsive. I have two cameras monitoring my front door and backyard and both work well through the app. Night vision could be better but daytime video is clear.
App Store
Been using TENVISTY for about a year now with my indoor TENVIS camera. The live streaming is reliable when it works, and I appreciate that there's no subscription needed. The interface looks dated compared to newer camera apps but all the essential features are there.
Google Play
Simple and free camera app that does what it needs to do. Live streaming works reliably and PTZ is responsive. I use it with my TENVIS indoor camera to check on my pets. QR code setup made it easy to get started.
Google Play
The app works okay for basic monitoring. Video quality is acceptable and I like that I can control the camera direction from my phone. Wish the playback feature was easier to navigate — browsing through SD card recordings is a bit clunky.
Google Play
No complaints for a free app. Connected my TENVIS camera in minutes using the QR scan. Push notifications work most of the time and live view loads quickly. UI is outdated but functionality is solid.
Google Play
Using this with two TENVIS cameras for my front and side doors. Connection is stable on WiFi but sometimes drops on mobile data. The free local storage approach is great — no monthly fees. Would rate higher if the app got regular updates.
Google Play
Best value for money security camera solution. The TENVISTY app combined with a TENVIS camera gives you remote monitoring, PTZ, and motion alerts for just the cost of the hardware. No hidden fees or subscriptions. Very satisfied with the setup.

How to Set Up TENVISTY
Getting started with TENVISTY takes just a few minutes:
Download the TENVISTY app from the App Store or Google Play
Power on your TENVIS camera and wait for the network indicator
Open the app and tap "Add Camera" to begin setup

Storage & Recording
TENVISTY relies on local microSD card storage rather than cloud subscriptions. When your camera detects motion or you trigger manual recording, footage is saved to the microSD card inserted in your TENVIS camera. You can browse and play back recorded clips directly through the app. This local-only approach means there are no monthly fees for recording storage — your only cost is the camera hardware and a microSD card.
