Introduction
Monitoring your home, family, and property shouldn't require complicated hardware or confusing software.

Developed by Shenzhen Yueying Industry Co., Ltd., TinoSec serves as the primary companion app for selected TinoSec camera products. The app has been downloaded over 50,000 times on Google Play and maintains a 3.6 rating on the App Store with 379 ratings. Whether you're watching over your front door, monitoring your backyard with a solar-powered camera, or managing a multi-camera PoE surveillance system, TinoSec provides the mobile control layer between your cameras and your phone.
What Is TinoSec?
TinoSec (also listed as TinoSec(ProY) on Google Play) is a free IoT webcam app designed to pair with TinoSec-branded security cameras and surveillance equipment. The app connects to a range of camera products — including Wi-Fi cameras, solar battery cameras, PoE camera systems, and NVR setups — enabling real-time video streaming, two-way audio conversations, motion detection alerts, and remote device management.
The app is available on the App Store (listed under Lifestyle) and Google Play, with an additional APK download option through the official app page at app.tinosec.com. TinoSec is part of a broader hardware ecosystem: the Tinosec brand also supports other companion apps such as Yoosee, XMEye Pro/iCSee, EseeCloud, Tuya/Smart Life, and Vicohome on different product lines.

TinoSec is a free IoT webcam app designed to connect your TinoSec-branded security cameras to your smartphone. It provides live video streaming, two-way audio, motion detection alerts, panoramic PTZ control, and remote camera management. The app works with TinoSec Wi-Fi cameras, solar cameras, PoE systems, and NVR devices.
How do I set up a TinoSec camera?
To set up a TinoSec camera: download the TinoSec app from the App Store or Google Play, create an account, power on your camera and put it in pairing mode, then follow the in-app instructions to connect the camera to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Most TinoSec cameras do not support 5 GHz networks, so ensure your router has a 2.4 GHz band available.
Does TinoSec work with all TinoSec brand cameras?
Not all TinoSec brand cameras use the TinoSec app. The Tinosec hardware brand supports multiple companion apps including TinoSec, Yoosee, XMEye Pro/iCSee, EseeCloud, Tuya/Smart Life, and Vicohome depending on the camera model. Check your camera's packaging or product page to confirm which app is required for your specific model.
Is the TinoSec app free to use?
Yes, TinoSec is free to download and use. Core features including live video streaming, two-way audio, motion detection alerts, and local SD card recording are all free. Optional cloud storage subscriptions may be available for remote footage backup, but they are not required for basic camera operation.
Why won't my TinoSec camera connect to Wi-Fi?
Common connection issues include: using a 5 GHz network instead of 2.4 GHz (most TinoSec cameras only support 2.4 GHz), weak Wi-Fi signal near the camera location, incorrect Wi-Fi password, or firewall blocking. Try moving the camera closer to your router during setup, verify you're on a 2.4 GHz band, and restart both your router and camera.
Does TinoSec support SD card recording?
Yes, most TinoSec cameras support local recording to TF/SD cards. Insert a compatible micro SD card into the camera's card slot, and the camera will automatically begin recording. You can access recorded footage through the playback feature in the TinoSec app. This allows you to store video without a cloud subscription.
Can I use TinoSec cameras with Alexa or Google Home?
Some TinoSec camera models support Amazon Alexa and Google Home integration for voice-controlled viewing on smart displays. Check your specific camera model's product page on tinosec.com to confirm smart home compatibility. Not all models support this feature.
How do I view TinoSec cameras on a PC?
TinoSec primarily operates through the mobile app on iOS and Android. There is no dedicated PC or Mac desktop client currently available. Some TinoSec camera systems support RTSP streaming, which allows viewing through third-party software on a computer. Check your camera model's specifications for RTSP support details.
Why is motion detection triggering too many false alerts?
Motion detection sensitivity can be adjusted in the TinoSec app's camera settings. Common causes of false alerts include wind-blown plants, passing vehicles, insects near the camera lens, or shadows. Try reducing the motion sensitivity, adjusting the detection zone, or switching to PIR human detection mode if your camera supports it to reduce false triggers.
How do I reset my TinoSec camera?
To factory reset a TinoSec camera, locate the physical reset button on the camera body (usually a small pinhole button). Press and hold the reset button for 10-15 seconds until you hear a voice prompt or see the indicator light change. This restores factory settings. After resetting, you'll need to set up the camera again in the TinoSec app as a new device.

This was very easy to set up. Much easier than the last one that I had, but I changed to 5G and my old one would not accept it. The camera is very sensitive and picks up bush movement as well as people walking by. Great picture quality and the tracking works well.
Pricing InfoFree to download and use. Core features including live video streaming, two-way audio, motion detection alerts, and local SD card recording are all free. Optional cloud storage subscriptions may be available for remote footage backup but are not required for basic camera operation.
The camera provides high resolution images and videos in both day and night. The 2-way talking function works perfectly. Easy to install and move around. Automatically detects events and saves to cloud. Would be great if there's a PC app available for desktop viewing.
App Store
Great little cameras! The picture is so clear and the tracking is great! I set one up in my living room and it follows movement perfectly. I'm definitely going to order more for the rest of the house. Very impressed with the quality for the price.
App Store
The KO4 camera is really great. Really easy to use and really easy to install! I'm planning to purchase additional TinoSec models for my home exterior. The app interface is clean and straightforward. Highly recommend for anyone looking for affordable home security.

These cameras are excellent. Being solar powered, you don't have to use power to run them other than your WiFi connection. Picture quality is clear day and night. Motion detection works reliably. Great value for money.
Google Play
Good camera app for the price. Live view connects quickly and the two-way audio is clear. Motion alerts are reliable when sensitivity is properly adjusted. Night vision is surprisingly good on the outdoor cameras. The only downside is occasional connectivity hiccups.
Google Play
Solid camera management app. I have 4 TinoSec cameras and can switch between them smoothly. The auto-tracking feature works well for monitoring my driveway. App updates have improved stability over time. Would like to see a desktop version.
Google Play
Does what it needs to do for basic home monitoring. Setup was a bit tricky at first but works fine once connected. Live view is clear on WiFi. The motion detection can be over-sensitive to wind and shadows, but adjusting the settings helps. Good for the price.
Google Play
Using this with two TinoSec solar cameras in my backyard. Love that they're solar powered so no wiring needed. The app handles multiple cameras well. PIR detection is much better than basic motion detection for reducing false alerts. Recommended for outdoor monitoring.
Google Play
Perfect for keeping an eye on my pets while I'm at work! The tracking feature follows my cat around the room which is great. Two-way audio lets me talk to my dog. The night vision mode is clear enough to see everything. Very happy with this setup.
