NetMagen Vision for Android

Every camera. Every moment. In your hand.

One app, two ways in: watch the IP cameras on your home Wi-Fi directly, with no account at all — or open your NetMagen Vision recorder from anywhere, with its live view, its timeline, its clips and its Vision AI.

The app's first screen: two cards, Local NVR and Remote NVR.

Two modes

Pick the door that fits the moment

At home, the app talks to your cameras directly. Away, it talks to your recorder through the NetMagen relay. You choose on the app's first screen.

Local NVR

Your cameras, directly

View your IP cameras directly on your home network. No account or desktop app needed.

Your Wi-Fi
Your phone
Your cameras
  • An Android phone on the same Wi-Fi as the cameras
  • Cameras with an RTSP stream — ONVIF fills in the details
  • Nothing else: no account, no server, no internet

Remote NVR

Your recorder, from anywhere

Watch your NetMagen Vision desktop NVR from anywhere — live view, the archive and Vision AI, through the NetMagen relay.

Your phone
NetMagen relay
Your home network
Your PC
  • NetMagen Vision running on your Windows or Linux computer
  • A NetMagen account with Remote Access
  • Any connection — the relay does the rest, nothing to set up on your router

What it does

The whole recorder, sized for one hand

Real screens from the app, shown on demo cameras.

Local NVR: your cameras in seconds, no sign-up

Add a camera by address or let Find Cameras sweep your Wi-Fi. ONVIF fills in the stream paths, and your cameras land in a grid with their reachability at a glance. Passwords stay in the phone's Android Keystore and never leave it.

  • Live grid of up to four cameras per page, and full screen with pinch to zoom
  • Mute, snapshot and record straight to your Gallery, main or sub stream
  • Reconnects by itself when a camera drops
The Local NVR screen: four camera tiles — Front gate, Driveway, Lobby and Parking — each marked reachable.
The app's first screen: two cards, Local NVR and Remote NVR.

Account tier

Remote NVR: live from anywhere

Sign in and your recorder's cameras appear. One tap opens full-screen live. Every byte travels through the NetMagen relay on a pinned, signed connection; your computer only ever connects outward.

  • HLS, or WebRTC for lower latency, chosen in Settings
  • Status tab: recording state per camera, and storage
  • Back from the background, one tap resumes the stream
Full-screen live view of the Front gate camera, with snapshot, pin and close buttons.
The Remote Status tab: the cameras with their recording state, and the storage.

Account tier

The archive, in your hand

A calendar with a dot on every recorded day, a day summary, and the same 24-hour timeline as the desktop, with motion and sound marked. Drag to scrub, zoom from a full day down to one minute, jump to a time, and read the speech transcript below the timeline.

  • Zoom from 24 hours down to one minute
  • Cut a range into an MP4 clip, then play, share or save it to your Gallery
  • Pin a moment and come back to it from Events
The Archive tab with a day selected: the calendar, the day summary of 16.5 hours and 19 spans, and the motion and audio timeline.
The archive player: the timeline with its playhead and the speech transcript rows below it.

Account tier

Vision AI: faces and plates, by name

The people and licence plates your recorder recognises, on your phone: name them, watch the ones that matter, merge duplicates, clear the review queue with ranked matches, and jump from a sighting straight into the recording.

  • Play every appearance of a person, back to back
  • Review: confirm, assign, or ignore and block a spot
  • Plates: labels, a watch list, every sighting

Share access, keep control

Invite family or staff from your NetMagen account and give each member exactly the cameras and features they need. They see only what they were given, and Status shows you who is watching now.

  • Session and camera passwords live in the Android Keystore
  • Certificate-pinned relay connection — fails closed on any mismatch
  • Every request is signed: nothing to replay, nothing to forge
  • Your PC connects outward — no port forwarding, nothing listening at home
  • Members see only their cameras and their features
  • No ads, no third-party trackers — your video is not our product

Installing

Install it in three steps

  1. 01

    Download

    Tap Download APK. Your browser may ask you to confirm that you want to keep an APK file: keep it.

  2. 02

    Allow installs from this source

    Android asks once, per browser, to allow installs from this source: switch it on for the browser you downloaded with. You can switch it off again afterwards.

  3. 03

    Open the file and install

    Open the downloaded file and tap Install, then Open. Local NVR needs nothing more.

If Play Protect asks

Google Play Protect may say it has not seen this app before. Tap Scan app, or Install anyway: the app is signed with NetMagen's own key, and its fingerprint is on this page for you to check.

Updates

The app tells you when a newer version is out, and this page always has it. Install it over the old one and your cameras stay. Uninstalling the app removes them.

How it works

Watching in three steps, either way

Local NVR

  1. 01

    Install

    Download the APK from this page and install it. No account, nothing to sign.

  2. 02

    Find cameras

    Let the app sweep your Wi-Fi, or type a camera's address. Enter its password once.

  3. 03

    Watch

    Tap a tile. Full screen, sound, snapshot — on the spot.

Remote NVR

  1. 01

    Install

    Install the app, and NetMagen Vision on the Windows or Linux computer that records.

  2. 02

    Sign in

    Use your NetMagen account. The relay details arrive by themselves — nothing to type, nothing to open on your router.

  3. 03

    Watch anywhere

    Live view, the archive, your clips and Vision AI — wherever you are.

The app contains no advertising and no third-party trackers. The diagnostics it sends help us fix problems, and you can switch them off. The relay forwards your video and keeps none of it; your recordings stay on your recorder.

Questions

Frequently asked

Why isn't it on Google Play yet?

We have not listed it there yet. Until we do, you can install the very same signed file from this page, with the checks below to verify it.

Is it safe to install from here?

The file is signed with NetMagen's own certificate. This page shows the file's SHA-256 and the certificate's fingerprint. Check the SHA-256 of the file you downloaded with a checksum tool, and the signing certificate on a computer with apksigner verify --print-certs (or keytool -printcert -jarfile). Play Protect may ask you to scan the app or to install it anyway; both are normal for an app from outside Google Play.

If I update, do I lose my cameras?

No. Install the new version over the old one and your cameras stay. Uninstalling the app does delete them, along with the passwords stored on the phone.

Which phones does it run on?

Android phones running Android 8.0 or newer with an ARM processor, which is almost every phone sold since 2018. The app speaks nine languages: English, Spanish, French, Russian, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Hebrew and Arabic. It uses the same dark theme as the desktop recorder.

Do I need an account?

Not for Local NVR: it works with your cameras alone. Remote NVR and Vision AI sign in with your NetMagen account; Remote NVR also needs Remote Access on that account (you add it on netmagen.com) and NetMagen Vision running on a Windows or Linux computer that records your cameras.

Will the app alert me?

The app does not send push notifications. Alerts come from the recorder itself: draw a zone in NetMagen Vision on your computer and it sends a Telegram message with a snapshot when someone crosses it.
