GV-Eye App Review: A Comprehensive Look at its Features

Introduction

The GV-Eye app is a mobile application that allows users to access and control their GeoVision surveillance systems remotely. It is available for both Android and iOS devices and provides users with a range of features to ensure that they can monitor their premises from anywhere, at any time. In this review, we will take a closer look at the app's features and functionality.

Snapshot Function

One of the app's key features is its snapshot function, which allows users to take pictures of their surveillance footage. According to one user, this function works perfectly. However, they noted that the video record function did not work on their Samsung A11 running Android 10. Despite setting all permissions on for the app, the video record function only displayed a message saying "please wait" before disappearing. The user sought support and was sent a patch, which resolved the issue.

Clear Picture and Video Quality

Users have praised the app for its clear picture and video quality. They noted that the pictures and videos were clear as a bell, and they never had to think about what to do because the app tells them what to do. The app also allows users to access over 30 cameras, and they can add them all without any problem.

Interface

Some users have criticized the app's interface, describing it as so-so. However, they noted that it gets the job done. The app requires users to understand IP networking to set up the cameras and DVR application, but it works great when everything is connected.

Live Feed and Archived Recordings

Users have praised the app's ease of use, particularly when it comes to pulling up a live feed on their phone and then going straight to archived recordings. They noted that the quality of the software is why they picked these cameras.

Fisheye Option

One user purchased the fisheye option but could not get it to work with their 2mp camera. However, they noted that the app's functionality earned GeoVision more camera sales.

Stability

One user reported that the latest version of the app crashed on their Android 6.01 phone when they added six cameras in one screen view. However, when they reduced it to 2-3 cameras per screen, the performance improved dramatically, and the app appeared to be stable. They recommended using one camera per screen view when accessing cameras through 4G LTE.

Access to Local Phone Camera

One user noted that the latest update requested access to the local phone camera, but they could not see anything in the new features as to why it needs access.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the GV-Eye app is a great tool for users who want to monitor their premises remotely. It provides users with a range of features, including a snapshot function, clear picture and video quality, live feed and archived recordings, and access to over 30 cameras. While some users have criticized the app's interface and stability, it still gets the job done. Overall, the app is a great start and still needs work, but it has earned GeoVision more camera sales.
