BetterSee is an ad-free, minimalist app for watching iCSee and Xiongmai IP cameras — on your home Wi-Fi or from anywhere with Cloud ID. Open a camera and you get live video, tap-to-look PTZ, and a day of SD-card recordings you can scrub through. No ads. No junk. Just a clearer view of home. WATCH LIVE • Live video over your local network (RTSP) or remotely via Cloud ID • Fast dashboard with stills while streams open • Switch quality when you need a lighter stream • Landscape immersive view that keeps PTZ on screen CONTROL THE CAMERA • Tap a point on the video to look that way • Hold the on-screen stick to pan, plus zoom in and out • Recall presets, start a cruise, or zoom toward an area • Works with PTZ-capable Xiongmai / iCSee cameras PLAY BACK WHAT YOU MISSED • Scrub a full day of footage from the camera’s SD card • Jump by day, filter motion or alarm clips, and change playback speed • We do not keep a BetterSee cloud DVR — recordings stay on your camera SHARE THE HOUSEHOLD • Cameras belong to a household, not a single login • Invite family by email; members can watch, owners manage • Group cameras into rooms (kitchen, yard, garage) • Find cameras on Wi-Fi or add them with a Cloud ID BUILT TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY • No ads, no analytics SDKs, no third-party trackers • English, Portuguese, and Spanish • Light, dark, or system appearance • Encrypted camera passwords; account security with 2FA and passkeys COMPATIBILITY BetterSee is built for households that already use iCSee or Xiongmai cameras (Cloud ID / serial, local RTSP, and NETIP PTZ). It is an independent app and is not affiliated with iCSee, Xiongmai, or JFTech. SUBSCRIPTIONS BetterSee is free to try for 14 days on your first household.
