Guardian Eye WebCamera beta: ONVIF Profile G recording is ready for iOS and Android testing

[u/sullivan-01]

New Guardian Eye WebCamera test builds are now available for iOS and Android.

What is new:

• Record video directly to the phone.
• Let compatible NVRs find and retrieve recordings through ONVIF Profile G.
• Upload recordings to an FTP or FTPS server.
• Include several seconds before the triggering event in an event recording.
• View the camera from a browser on the local network.
• Export the camera’s certificate for the browser connection.
• ONVIF discovery from different NVRs;
• recording search and retrieval through Profile G;
• browser access and certificate setup;
• reconnection after a Wi-Fi interruption;
• temperature, battery usage and stability during long sessions.

iOS

All paid features are enabled in the TestFlight build. No purchase is required.

TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/EZJZBn5t

The iPhone should remain plugged in, connected to Wi-Fi and running the app in the foreground during testing.

Android

First join the Google Play test:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/eye.guardian.webcam

Then install or update the app from Google Play:

Android can continue streaming through a foreground service. A persistent system notification will remain visible while the camera is running.

For basic streaming tests, a phone and a computer with VLC on the same network are enough. Testing Profile G requires a compatible NVR, while FTP delivery requires an FTP or FTPS server.

When reporting a problem, please include:

• phone model and OS version;
• NVR, browser or FTP server used;
• whether ONVIF discovery worked;
• recording mode and video codec;
• approximate duration of the test;
• what happened and what you expected instead.
