Skyview is a viewer and management app for home and small-business
cameras. It pairs with a Skyview server you run yourself, and is
designed for IP cameras that speak the RTSP / ONVIF standard.
— What this is —
Skyview is NOT a public cloud service and does not connect your
cameras to the internet for you. You first set up the Skyview server
on a PC, NAS, or mini-PC at home, attach your cameras to it, and then
use this app on iPhone / iPad to view and manage everything. All
video and events stay on your own hardware — nothing is uploaded to
any third-party cloud.
— Features —
LIVE VIEW
• Grid dashboard with live thumbnails of every camera at a glance
• Tap any camera for full-screen view; low-latency WebRTC by default,
with automatic fallback to HLS on weaker networks
• Two-way talk (push-to-talk) for talking with family or warning off
strangers
• PTZ control: pan, tilt, zoom, and preset recall on supported cameras
TIMELINE PLAYBACK
• Smooth, second-precision timeline scrubbing
• Variable-speed playback, jump to any moment
• Highlights segments that contain events or recorded footage
• Save clips to your iPhone's Photos library
AI EVENTS & ALERTS
Powered by the detection pipeline on your server, the app receives
and displays:
• Motion, person, vehicle, and pet detection
• Face recognition (enroll family members in-app; get a separate
alert for unknown faces)
• License-plate recognition
• Fall detection (helpful for homes with elderly family members)
• Custom detection zones, sensitivity, and quiet hours
Push notifications arrive on iPhone the moment an event fires; tap
to jump straight to the moment in the recording.
EVENT CENTER
• Reverse-chronological event feed with thumbnails and type tags
• Filter by camera, event type, and time range
• Jump directly to the recorded video at the event's timestamp
USERS & SHARING
• Multiple accounts can sign in to the same server
• Admins create standard users and limit which cameras they see
• Change password, sign out, and switch servers from inside the app
RECORDING & STORAGE
• Server records each camera in segments; the app shows free space
and retention days per camera
• Direct playback links with seek and speed control
VOICE ANNOUNCEMENTS (Optional)
• If you enable server-side automation, cameras can speak a phrase
out loud when an event triggers (for example, "Unknown visitor
detected — owner has been notified"), turning monitoring into
active deterrence.
— What you'll need —
1. An RTSP / ONVIF compatible IP camera (most home IPCs qualify)
2. An always-on PC, NAS, or mini-PC to run the Skyview server
3. After the one-time server setup, enter your server address in
this app and sign in.
Cameras that use proprietary protocols (Tapo, Mi Home, Wyze, etc.)
need to be bridged to RTSP first using a tool such as go2rtc.
— Privacy —
• All video, recordings, and AI results live on YOUR server
• Push notifications carry only event type and camera name — no
imagery is sent through Apple's push pipeline
• The app collects no analytics, contains no third-party tracking

— About offline use —
This app depends on your home server. If the server is offline or
unreachable, live and recorded video are not available. Run the
server on hardware that stays on 24/7, and configure a stable
remote-access method on your home network (see the server
documentation for details).

Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
This update rolls up everything since the previous release.
NEW
· Recognizes your own cats and dogs. Add your pets and events name the individual animal. See where it went during the day and the spots it favors (mark the litter box, food bowl and other places yourself), plus a one-line daily recap; the home screen now shows recently seen pets. Yunkan picks out photos of pets it doesn't recognize yet for you to confirm, so you never feed it samples by hand.
· Movement trails on event pictures. See where the subject came from, where they went, and where they lingered.
· Replay the moment right in the event. No more jumping to playback and hunting through the timeline — the event detail plays those few seconds directly, with detection boxes following the action.
· Notifications carry the picture. A push is no longer just a line of text: you see the subject that was captured. Once the AI summary is ready it updates that same notification instead of ringing again or adding a second alert.
· See who has been around. People and pet cards now show where they were last seen and when.
· Weather recognition. Outdoor cameras can identify clear, cloudy, hazy, rain, snow and thunderstorm conditions, updating as the weather changes, and the result can drive automations.
· New automation triggers: pets (filterable by species), events detected by the camera itself (any camera supporting standard ONVIF, plus TP-Link VIGI), and "unusual sound" (glass breaking, screaming — kept separate from crying).
IMPROVED
· Event list and playback thumbnails are now close-ups of the subject, so a small tile still shows who or what it was — and uses less data.
· The event list scrolls smoothly and endlessly, making it faster to browse history.
· Detection box labels adapt to the box width, so small subjects are no longer covered by their own label; sheep, cattle and horses now have proper names.
· Export errors now follow your interface language, so English, Japanese, French and Traditional Chinese no longer show Chinese error text.
· Detection settings now say changes take effect in about 10 seconds instead of asking for a restart.
FIXED
· Slow first frame on the live view over the internet: it often took more than ten seconds and now appears within a few, with the biggest gain on multi-interface and dual-stack networks.
· Status chips in the top right of the home screen turning into a solid blur on iOS 27.
· The PTZ preset list not scrolling when a camera has many presets.
· Video and live view kept playing after leaving the playback tab, wasting data and battery.
· Misplaced delete confirmation dialogs on iPad and Mac.
· Missing translations on the camera wall and date picker.
Note: pet recognition, movement trails, in-event clips and notification images require the host to be updated to 0.9.38 or later.
