XMEye Pro

I've been using XMEye Pro for my home security system with 4 cameras. The P2P connection is convenient — no port forwarding needed. Live view works smoothly on Wi-Fi and reasonably well on 4G. The motion detection alerts help me know when someone is at the door. The app could use a UI refresh but functionally it does the job.

Using XMEye Pro to monitor my retail shop with a 4-channel NVR. The remote playback feature is invaluable — I can review any incident from my phone. Two-way audio works with my PTZ camera at the entrance. Setup took some time but the QR code scanning simplified the process considerably. Reliable enough for daily business use.

The cameras work great, most of the time. We have one camera that seems to glitch out often. Not bad out of six. However, the app is super slow to load up. If I just minimize the app but did not fully close it out, when I open it again it will show me the view from the previous time. I have to completely close out and restart the app to get the current view.

App would be a lot better if it didn't have a timer on watching my cameras. I don't need to be reminded how long I've been watching. The settings features in the system could be a little more user friendly too. Not everyone is an IT expert. Overall though the basic stuff is pretty easy to use and navigate.

Works well once you understand how to navigate it. For everyone complaining about advertisements, go into the settings and turn them off. Navigate all the menus and you'll find all kinds of options, just have to look for things. I've been using this app with the Firstrend 8 camera wireless NVR for 2 years now, and it's been very reliable. Highly recommended for Xiongmai systems.

Simple and effective app for my Xiongmai-based NVR with 4 cameras. The P2P cloud connection works flawlessly — just scanned the QR code and was up and running in minutes. I can check my cameras from work and the picture quality is sharp. PTZ control for my outdoor camera is responsive even over mobile data. Free app that does exactly what it should.

I install XMEye-compatible systems for clients regularly. The XMEye Pro app is straightforward for end users to set up with the QR code method. Multi-channel viewing works well and playback is functional. The cloud P2P eliminates the need for port forwarding which saves installation time. Could improve notification reliability but overall a solid free monitoring solution.

Running XMEye Pro with a 16-channel NVR in our warehouse. Being able to switch between all camera feeds on my phone is essential for security management. The timeline playback helps me quickly locate specific events. Motion detection alerts work most of the time. The app handles multiple devices without issues. Good value for a free application.

Seek is poor. Their cloud ads litter the screen, near important buttons. Easy to accidentally hit and subscribe. But the ultimate worst is the seek. Seek is too coarse. Cannot zoom into a time period. Needs improvement. 3 stars as it's useable. But frustrating. Keep this version, charge me 5 bucks and fix the seek and remove the ads.

XMEye Pro vs XMEye

Both XMEye and XMEye Pro are developed by the same company and connect to the same Xiongmai cloud platform. The key differences are:

• User Interface — XMEye Pro offers a more refined, modern interface compared to the original XMEye app
• Navigation — Improved menu structure and settings accessibility in XMEye Pro
• Experience — XMEye Pro provides a smoother overall user experience with enhanced device setup workflows
• Compatibility — Both apps support the same Xiongmai/XMEye-compatible devices
• Pricing — Both apps are free to download and use with ad support

If you're setting up a new system, XMEye Pro is the recommended choice for a better mobile monitoring experience. Existing XMEye users can switch to XMEye Pro without reconfiguring their devices.
