CamView — Support

CamView lets you watch your CCTV/DVR/NVR cameras on Apple TV over your local network.

Getting started

1. Open CamView on your Apple TV.
2. Choose your camera brand (CP Plus/Dahua, Hikvision, Reolink, Uniview, Axis, Hanwha, Vivotek, Foscam, TP-Link, Bosch, ONVIF auto-detect, or Custom).
3. Enter the DVR/NVR IP address, RTSP port (usually 554), username, password, and number of cameras.
4. Tap Test connection, then Save.

Don't know the IP? Tap Scan network for cameras. Want to try the app first? Tap Try demo mode to play sample streams without a camera.

Using it

• Live: all cameras in a grid. Select one for full screen; swipe ◀ ▶ to change camera, ▲ ▼ for HD/SD, Play/Pause for Patrol auto-cycle, press & hold for PTZ (on pan/tilt cameras).
• Recordings: pick a camera, day, and time — or a quick preset — then swipe ◀ ▶ to seek.
• Settings: add/switch DVRs, rename cameras, cameras-per-page and smoothness.

Troubleshooting

• "No signal" / black tile: make sure the Apple TV and DVR are on the same network, RTSP is enabled on the DVR, and the IP, port, and credentials are correct. Use Test connection in Settings.
• Choppy video: in Settings, lower Cameras per page or raise Smoothness. Apple TV can only decode a few streams at once.
• Wrong camera brand: try ONVIF (auto-detect) or the Custom path option.
