BetterSee is an ad-free, minimalist app for watching iCSee and Xiongmai IP cameras β€” 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 β€’ Live video over your local network (RTSP) or remotely via Cloud ID β€’ Fast dashboard with stills while streams open β€’ Switch quality when you need a lighter stream β€’ Landscape immersive view that keeps PTZ on screen CONTROL THE CAMERA β€’ Tap a point on the video to look that way β€’ Hold the on-screen stick to pan, plus zoom in and out β€’ Recall presets, start a cruise, or zoom toward an area β€’ Works with PTZ-capable Xiongmai / iCSee cameras PLAY BACK WHAT YOU MISSED β€’ Scrub a full day of footage from the camera’s SD card β€’ Jump by day, filter motion or alarm clips, and change playback speed β€’ We do not keep a BetterSee cloud DVR β€” recordings stay on your camera SHARE THE HOUSEHOLD β€’ Cameras belong to a household, not a single login β€’ Invite family by email; members can watch, owners manage β€’ Group cameras into rooms (kitchen, yard, garage) β€’ Find cameras on Wi-Fi or add them with a Cloud ID BUILT TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY β€’ No ads, no analytics SDKs, no third-party trackers β€’ English, Portuguese, and Spanish β€’ Light, dark, or system appearance β€’ 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).
