XMEye is a popular brand of security cameras in my area, though it has since been replaced by HiLook, Hikvision, and Dahua. To this day, I still come across users who are using XMEye cameras, though their numbers are dwindling. Some of my former customers who used XMEye devices have already switched to other brands. XMEye cameras can be monitored via your smartphone using the XMEye Pro app, which you can download and install on your phone.
Even though the number of users has decreased, I’m writing this as a guide for those out there who are still using XMEye devices.
From Analog Cameras to Today’s Wide Range of Wi-Fi Cameras
XMEye is currently phasing out its analog camera systems and switching to IP and Wi-Fi cameras.
The app for XMEye cameras has also been updated and is now called XMEye Pro. It features a fresher interface, similar to smart camera apps from other brands. However, XMEye hasn’t completely phased out its analog cameras; in some regions, the XMEye brand may actually be more popular than other camera brands.
System Requirements for Phones That Support the XMeye Pro App
Before installing the application, ensure your smartphone meets the minimum requirements.
Android

- Stable Wi-Fi or mobile internet connection
- Google Play Store access
iPhone

Using the latest operating system version helps improve app stability and security.
