Many customers have asked me if a single V380 Pro camera can be viewed by multiple phones. The answer is absolutely yes. The V380 Pro app has a feature for sharing the camera device with other people’s phones. In my experiments, a single V380 Pro camera could be shared with more than five phones. And amazingly, all five phones could view the live feed from a single camera without any delay.
Isn’t that very interesting? Well, in this article, I’ll show you the steps for sharing your camera with someone else’s phone.
Use the Device Sharing Feature Only with Family or People You Know
Other people who have access to the camera will see the same view.
Therefore, I recommend that you only share your camera with family or people you know. You should also avoid sharing cameras installed in private areas like your child’s room or your own. This will ensure your privacy and security.
Make sure you only share cameras installed in public areas such as the front and back yard of the house.
