SeeDVR

SeeDVR turns your phone into a private viewer and recorder for the analog/IP cameras connected to your DVR or NVR — without any cloud account, and without sending your video anywhere. Built for older Sofia/XMEye-family DVRs (and adaptable to others), it revives access when the vendor app is gone or unwanted. What it does: • Live view of up to many cameras in a grid (1/4/9/16), tap for fullscreen, per-camera audio. • Continuous local recording to your phone (substream → MP4), all cameras or a single one, with a recordings gallery and in-app replay and sharing. • Configurable recording segment length and storage limit (oldest deleted automatically). • Remote access from anywhere over a VPN you control (e.g. WireGuard/OpenVPN on OpenWRT, or Tailscale) — the DVR is never exposed on the Internet. • Works with other DVR brands via an editable RTSP URL template (Hikvision, Dahua, and more). • Snapshots you can share. • Portrait and landscape. Privacy first: • No cloud, no account, no developer analytics or telemetry. • DVR password encrypted with the Android Keystore; screenshots blocked; optional biometric lock. • A built-in GDPR reminder about lawful surveillance. Free with a small banner ad (with a consent choice where required); a one-time in-app purchase removes ads. Note: SeeDVR is an independent app and is not affiliated with any DVR manufacturer. You need a DVR/NVR that exposes an RTSP stream, plus its address and credentials.
