About this app

The Hyakume (百目 - "Hundred Eyes") app can view & record the low-latency H.264/MJPEG video streams produced by modern IP cameras (doorbell, security, surveillance, traffic, weather, etc.).

Store up to 100 Camera objects (see what we did there?) in 10 separate Camera Lists (examples: Home, Office, Storage, etc.).

To add a Camera, choose a unique name (Living room, Kitchen, Spooky Basement, etc.) & provide the Camera's local IPv4 address, video stream path, format & IP port.

Test the new connection to generate a sample camera image.

Use the ONVIF Discovery option to locate new ONVIF-compatible IP cameras on the local network.

Save the new Camera in the current (active) Camera List.

Cameras in the active list are continually polled & will display a polling snapshot image & timestamp if online.

Tap an online Camera to open its video stream.

Record multiple video segments, capture snapshot images & expand the Camera view to full-screen.

NOTE: The saved image & video files are available for archiving, uploading & sharing.


Relay Server:

Pets tearing up your kitchen while you're out? Use the Relay Server from your commute/office to catch them in the act & confront them with the video evidence!

NOTE: Remote connections are secured by strong TLS encryption & mandatory userid/password authentication.
