Not every camera app is built for security cameras on a wall. Some cameras live in your hand — endoscope cameras snaking through pipes, Wi-Fi microscope cameras magnifying tiny circuits, inspection cameras peering into engines. XiView Pro is a free hardware device interactive app that turns your smartphone or tablet into a wireless camera viewer, connecting via Wi-Fi to compatible hardware cameras for real-time image streaming, resolution switching, zoom, rotation, and media capture.
What Is XiView Pro?
XiView Pro is a free Wi-Fi camera viewer app developed by XRH (黎世宁 / Lí Shìníng), an independent developer from China. The app connects to Wi-Fi enabled hardware cameras — including USB endoscope cameras, Wi-Fi microscope cameras, industrial inspection cameras, and other Wi-Fi connected imaging devices — and displays their live image feed directly on your mobile device. Once connected, you can adjust the camera resolution, zoom in and out, rotate and pan the image, capture photos, record videos, and browse your captured media in a built-in gallery.
With a 2.3 rating on the App Store (6 ratings) and 3.3 on Google Play (59 reviews), XiView Pro has over 10,000 downloads and supports 5 languages: English, French, German, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.
