Hyakume IP Camera Viewer

The Hyakume ("one hundred eyes") app gives Android phones & tablets the ability to view & record IP Camera H.264 & MJPEG video streams.

Hyakume is compatible with a wide range of IP & network cameras (security, surveillance, doorbell, webcam, traffic, weather, etc.).


You can store up to one hundred Cameras (see what we did there?) in 10 Camera Lists (10 Cameras per List).

Create separate Camera Lists for your various physical IP camera locations (home, business, storage, rental, etc.).


To create a Camera, provide:
• A unique display name (ex. Front Door, Back Yard, Spooky Attic)
• IPv4 address (ex. 192.168.2.100)
• video stream path (ex. /video/h264)
• stream format (H264/MJPEG/RELAY)
• stream port number (ex. 8085)

If you don't know the target camera's IPv4 address, use the ONVIF discovery tool to locate ONVIF-compatible devices on your local network.

Hyakume continually polls Cameras, displaying a video thumbnail & timestamp if online (reachable).

Tap an online Camera to view its video stream.

While viewing, you can record video segments, capture snapshot images, & expand the view to full-screen.

Saved video & image files can be reviewed, archived & shared.


Relay Servers are special Cameras that provide free on-demand streaming of local IP cameras (spare Android device required).

Pets tearing up the living room after you leave for work? Setup a Relay Server, catch them in the act, & confront them with the evidence!

Relay Server setup:
• Install Hyakume on the device & add the desired Cameras to your DEFAULT Camera List
• In Settings, enable Relay Server mode & specify a username/password & listening port
• Enable the Web Client to allow remote access from desktop/mobile web browsers
• Port-forward the Relay Server's Ipv4 address & port on your router/gateway if necessary
• Start the Relay Server to enable free remote access

NOTE: Remote connections are secured by strong TLS/SSL encryption & mandatory client authentication.

Multiple Relay Servers can be setup; just specify unique IPv4 addresses & listening ports.
