Managing a security camera system shouldn't require expensive proprietary software or complex network configurations. TSEYE is a free mobile surveillance companion app developed by Hangzhou Taoshi Technology (杭州淘视科技) that connects to compatible DVR, NVR, and IPC (IP Camera) devices, allowing users to view monitoring video remotely and configure device settings from a smartphone.
What Is TSEYE?
TSEYE is a free companion app designed for connecting to compatible DVR (Digital Video Recorder), NVR (Network Video Recorder), and IPC (IP Camera) devices. Available on both iOS and Android, the TSEYE app enables users to view live surveillance feeds, play back recorded footage, control PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) cameras, manage device settings, and receive cloud alarm event notifications — all from a single mobile interface. The app is often bundled or referenced by hardware vendors rather than marketed as a standalone consumer brand.
With a 3.6 rating on Google Play and 2.7 on the App Store, TSEYE has over 500,000 downloads and supports 18 languages including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, and more.
Core Features
The TSEYE app provides a comprehensive set of tools for managing your surveillance devices:
- Live Video Monitoring — Watch real-time video feeds from your DVR, NVR, or IP cameras remotely over Wi-Fi or cellular data from anywhere
- PTZ Camera Control — Pan, tilt, and zoom compatible cameras remotely through the app to cover every angle of your monitored area
- Two-Way Intercom — Speak and listen through your camera's built-in microphone and speaker for real-time communication
- Video Playback — Access and play back recorded footage stored on your DVR, NVR, or camera's local storage
- Cloud Event Storage — Receive and store alarm-triggered recording events in the cloud for remote access and review
- Device Management — Add, edit, and configure multiple DVR, NVR, and IP camera devices from a single app interface
- Password & Security Management — Manage device passwords, user accounts, and access permissions for secure surveillance
- Photo Album — Capture and save snapshots from live video feeds to your device's photo album for quick reference
How to Set Up TSEYE
Setting up your TSEYE camera system takes just a few steps:
- Download the TSEYE app from the App Store or Google Play
- Register an account or log in with your existing TSEYE credentials
- Add your device by scanning the QR code on your DVR/NVR/IPC, or manually enter the device ID/serial number
- Configure settings — set device name, username, and password for your surveillance equipment
- Start monitoring — your device's live feed appears on the main screen, ready for viewing and PTZ control
The TSEYE setup process supports QR code scanning or manual device ID entry, making it accessible for both consumer and professional surveillance installations.
Cloud Events
TSEYE supports cloud event storage for alarm-triggered recordings. When your device detects motion or triggers an alarm, the recording event is automatically stored in the cloud for remote access and review. This cloud events feature provides an off-site backup that ensures important footage is preserved even if local storage is damaged or inaccessible. Cloud event storage is available as a premium feature within the app.
Platform Compatibility
The TSEYE app requires iOS 12.0 or later for Apple devices, Android 5.0 or later for Android devices, and also runs on macOS 11.0+ with Apple Silicon and visionOS 1.0+. The app interface is available in 18 languages: Arabic, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Thai, Traditional Chinese, Turkish, and Vietnamese.
