Onvier – IP Camera Monitor

Forget basic viewers that barely show a grainy feed. This app transforms your Android device into a serious surveillance toolkit, letting you monitor, control, explore, and configure IP cameras straight from your pocket. Whether you’re checking in on your home office or managing a small business setup, it puts professional-grade camera controls right at your fingertips.

Compatibility That Covers Old and New Cameras Alike

It works with all modern ONVIF conformant cameras, potentially syncing with over 5000 NVT devices including network cameras and servers. Got an older model lying around? No problem. Generic RTSP and MJPEG support means legacy cameras still get a seat at the table, so you don’t have to replace perfectly good hardware just to go digital.

Stream Smooth Video Even Behind Strict Firewalls

RTSP over HTTP helps your feeds punch through firewalls without forcing you to mess with complex port configurations on your server. Pair that with H.264 Advanced Video Coding—the same tech behind Blu-ray and YouTube—and you get high compression that keeps video buttery smooth even when your bandwidth is limited.

Record Everything in Universal MP4 Format

Why settle for proprietary files that won’t play anywhere? Recordings save in standard MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio encoding, so your footage stays high quality and compatible with basically every media player out there. Audio support covers both AAC and G.711, giving you clear sound no matter which camera you’re using.

Pan, Tilt, Zoom, and Watch Multiple Feeds at Once

PTZ controls make it easy to flick to pan and tilt, then click to zoom in on the action. If your camera doesn’t have physical PTZ, the Pro version adds digital PTZ so you still get that flexibility. Multi-view lets you monitor several cameras simultaneously, perfect for keeping an eye on different rooms or entry points without constantly switching screens.

Instant Discovery and Deep Device Exploration

Adding a camera is as simple as a few button clicks thanks to instant ONVIF device discovery. Once connected, you can dive into in-depth exploration of device properties to see exactly what your hardware can do. It’s much more than a simple viewer—it’s a full configuration suite for your IP camera ecosystem.

Keep an Eye on Things From Your Home Screen

A handy widget puts snapshot previews directly on your Android home screen, updating periodically so you can glance at activity without even opening the app. One tap launches video streaming instantly, making it faster than ever to check what’s happening while you’re away.
