Important: Samaritan Camera only supports specific third-party Chinese DVRs that use a custom, proprietary, and undocumented streaming protocol. If your camera uses standard formats like RTSP or ONVIF, this app is not for you — there are plenty of other apps that handle those. Samaritan Camera lets you monitor your networked cameras in real time, right from your iPhone or Mac. Stream live H.264 video from up to 4 cameras per host simultaneously in a clean 2x2 grid layout. Tap any feed to expand it to full screen for a closer look. Key features: - Real-time streaming: Hardware-accelerated H.264 video decoding delivers smooth, low-latency camera feeds over your local network. - Multi-camera view: See all 4 camera channels at once in a responsive grid, or tap to view any single camera in full screen. - iCloud sync: Your camera configurations sync automatically across all your devices. Set up once, access everywhere. - QR code sharing: Easily share camera configurations with others by generating a QR code. Add new cameras instantly by scanning one. - Siri Shortcuts: Create voice shortcuts to jump directly to any camera with a simple voice command. - Lock screen widget: Add a widget to your lock screen for instant one-tap access to your cameras. - Privacy first: Samaritan connects directly to your cameras over your local network. No cloud servers, no accounts, no data collection.
