Introduction
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.

Is TSEYE free to use?
Yes, TSEYE is free to download and use. All core features including live viewing, PTZ control, two-way intercom, video playback, and device management are available at no cost. Cloud event storage for alarm-triggered recordings is available as a premium feature. Local playback through connected DVR/NVR storage is included at no extra cost.
How do I set up TSEYE with my camera?
Download the TSEYE app, register an account or log in, then add your device by scanning the QR code on your DVR/NVR/IPC or manually entering the device ID/serial number. Configure the device name, username, and password, and your live feed will appear on the main screen ready for monitoring.
Why does my TSEYE device show offline?
Common causes for a TSEYE device showing offline include: the device is not powered on, network connectivity issues (router offline or Wi-Fi not connected), incorrect device credentials (wrong username or password), firewall blocking the connection, or the device's firmware needs updating. Verify your device is powered and connected to the network, then check your login credentials.
Does TSEYE work on PC or Mac?
TSEYE is designed primarily for iOS and Android mobile devices. There is no official PC or Mac desktop application. However, macOS 11.0 or later with Apple Silicon can run the iOS version of TSEYE natively. Some users run the Android version on PC using Android emulators, but this is not officially supported by the developer.
How do I log in to TSEYE?
Open the TSEYE app and enter your registered email or phone number along with your password. If you have forgotten your password, tap 'Forgot Password' on the login screen to receive a password reset link via email. For new users, tap 'Register' to create a new account.
What cameras work with TSEYE?
TSEYE is compatible with supported DVR (Digital Video Recorder), NVR (Network Video Recorder), and IPC (IP Camera) devices from supported manufacturers. Specific compatibility depends on device firmware and protocol support. Check your device documentation or contact the manufacturer to confirm TSEYE compatibility.
How do I reset my TSEYE password?
On the TSEYE login screen, tap 'Forgot Password', enter the email address associated with your account, and follow the instructions in the password reset email. If you do not receive the email, check your spam folder. For device password resets, access the device settings within the app or reset the device hardware directly.
Does TSEYE support cloud storage?
Yes, 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. Cloud event storage is available as a premium feature within the app.
Why is TSEYE video lagging or buffering?
Video lag or buffering in TSEYE can be caused by slow network connection, weak Wi-Fi signal, high network congestion, or insufficient bandwidth. Try reducing the video quality setting in the app, moving closer to your Wi-Fi router, switching to a wired Ethernet connection for your DVR/NVR, or ensuring your device has adequate upload bandwidth for streaming.

I've had no problems since the hook up! Clear image day and night!
Pricing InfoFree to download and use. Cloud event storage for alarm-triggered recordings is available as a premium feature. Local playback through connected DVR/NVR storage is included at no extra cost.
Works well with my NVR system. Live view is stable and PTZ control is responsive. The interface could be more modern but it gets the job done for basic monitoring.
App Store
Decent app for viewing my DVR cameras remotely. Took a few tries to get the device connected but once set up it works reliably. Playback feature is useful.
App Store
Good companion app for my IP cameras. The two-way intercom works clearly and I appreciate the cloud event notifications. Wish there was a landscape mode.
App Store
Using it to monitor my front door camera. Night vision looks good on the app. Sometimes takes a moment to connect but overall functional for what I need.
Google Play
Connected my 4-channel NVR without issues. Live streaming is smooth and the PTZ controls are intuitive. App could use a visual refresh but functionally solid.
Google Play
Using TSEYE for our small warehouse with 8 cameras. It handles multiple feeds well enough. The playback navigation could be more user-friendly.
Google Play
Best free app I found that actually works with my generic DVR. Setup was straightforward following the QR code method. Reliable daily use for 6 months now.
Google Play
Monitors my shop cameras effectively. Cloud event alerts let me know when motion is detected after hours. The alarm notification system works well.
Google Play
Does what it says — remote viewing of my NVR cameras. Connection can drop occasionally on weak cellular data but on WiFi it's stable. Basic but functional.
