Use the Hyakume (百目 - "Hundred eyes") app to view & record IP camera video streams both locally & remotely.
Hyakume is compatible with a wide range of IP cameras (security, surveillance, doorbell, baby/pet monitor, traffic, weather, etc.) & supports the H.264 & MJPEG video formats.
Create & store 100 Cameras in 10 separate Camera lists (10 Cameras per list max).
Add a new Camera by providing the target camera's IPv4 address, network port number, video stream path & video format.
If you don't know the camera's IPv4 address, you can use the ONVIF discovery tool to find & list new devices (IPv4 address, make, model) on the local network.
Cameras are continuously polled at a user-defined interval (default=20 seconds) & will display a polling timestamp & image snapshot if online (reachable).
Tap a Camera to view its video stream. While viewing, you can record video segments & capture snapshot images.
The recorded video & image files can be reviewed in-app, shared & archived.
If you wish to access your various IP cameras remotely, Hyakume can be used as a dedicated Relay Server (spare android device required).
To setup the Relay Server, install Hyakume on the device & make note of the device's IPv4 address (Menu/About).
In Settings, enable the Relay Server & choose a userid, password & listener port.
Enable the Web Client to allow remote access from desktop/mobile web browsers.
Port-forward the IPv4 address & listener port on your router so it is reachable from the Internet.
Add the Cameras you wish to access & start the Relay Server.
On remote Hyakume devices, add the Relay Server using its external IPv4 address, listener port, userid & password.
In web browsers, connect to "https://[external-ipv4-address:port]/webclient" & provide the userid & password when prompted.
NOTE: Remote connections are secured by strong TLS encryption & userid/password authentication.
