GV-Eye for Android
This app just plain does not function. Worked through each and every setting on the server, firewall and devices with the user manual in hand and Geovision's tech support people on the phone and this app still does not work. After filling out all pertinent information the app stalls when looking for the cameras. Does not work on my s8+, s6, or any other device in our organization. Nice folks to speak with, just not functional.
Can't load on Samsung s7 edge Keeps saying ...Loading, please wait So annoying
This app just doesn't work well on Samsung devices on iPhone work a little better..I continue saying u guys should start from 0 and create a good working app...
Won't connect to our NVR. Provision branded but still not working. Settings are correct and network settings to camera confirmed with other software.
Great tool when it works, but too often it does not.
افتضاح
Genuine rubbish. Have a look at ipviewcam for an app that actually works. 30 grand worth of cameras installed and this pathetic offering is the best you can do. For shame.
Can add cameras but can't access layout management, very annoying, app just goes back to camera page, the same thing happens when I tap on any camera, it acts like it's going to load that camera then it crashes back to main camera page. LGL41C, Android 4.4.2. Yes it happened everytime, I have replaced the phone.
Gv Iview works with multiple sites. GvEye does not.
In-app purchase to dewarp fisheye cameras isn't very feature rich. It will dewarp the cameras but loses all settings and views upon exit, so each time a fisheye camera is loaded you have to start from scratch (choose mounting method, choose HD, choose viewing preference, select view). Also, the zoom functionality does not work properly in the fisheye view. If your object is to the side of the screen it goes completely off screen when you zoom. The zoom function on the dewarped view seems to decrease the field of view to gain resolution instead of zooming appropriately.
my complete security system WAS Geo vision hardware & software spent in the thousands for the upgrade but could not live view my premises what ever i tried and computer techs tried could not get it to work.. emailed g.v for assistance no reply .. Removed the geo vision system put back in box "TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY".! refitted chinese made unkown brand $400 system with 6 cameras no probs can view anywhere anytime.. .. i rate geovision 0/10 on all fronts.. pathetic.!
Play back from your DVR /NVR will be useless. Think long and hard before going down the Geovision Road. It's bumpy and fraught with peril. I have 11 Geovision IP cameras and a Geovision NVR. This app will not playback from the DVR at anything other than 1x. Other NVR software and their respective mobile apps: Blue Iris, X-Protect, etc all support l time-lapsed playback speed at > 1x Adding the cameras from the NVR was breeze with the QR code but everything else is a nightmare. No matter how fast the internet connection it is, it is impossible for all the cameras to show up. it takes multiple swipes to finally get a picture on them all. The larger, most concerning issue is playback speed. Watching at 1x is useless; It feels like a prank. I ** highly * recommend everyone staying away from anything Geovision. Look at Hikvision or Duhua. Their software is way better. 3rd party NVR software like Blue Iris is even better. Do not make the terrible, horrible mistake I did and get married to the Geovision product line. I hope this saves one person from the misery they have inflicted on me with their terrible software - it is all terrible, including GV-Eye.
Fisheye dewarping required in app purchase and is not functioning. Zoom is useless. Also requires alignment with every use! Unacceptable.
Works great for geovision platform
Meh
...don't buy GeoVision. Poorly design UI (user interface). Slow video streaming (even with high speed Fios). Over priced system and cameras. Not intuitive at all.
Not sure why or what people are complaining about. I'm running the latest VMS15.10 software with 4 cameras for my home and I can live view or review my recorded files. I have to admit that the interface is so-so, but it gets the job done. Read the manual and you will see that it works great! Thanks GeoVision
Pretty sad when you pay so much for Geovision capture card's and camera's and there Mobil program does not work hardly at all. I have 2 stores with 2 16 camera capture card's each. 27 cameras on each one. The generic ip camara program works better than Geovision program. Biggest piece of junk I have ever seen.
Does not freeze anymore. Cannot separate different sites as all cameras come altogether for all sites. Switching between cameras should be faster. GV A-View had better site management. Please reorganize...
This app is average at best. I would like to turn my phone sideways and see bigger picture but i dont see that as an option. Alot of better apps out there.
Emailed support and they sent me a patch. All is good now. I have access to 30 plus cameras. I can add them all with no problem but when I setup pages of cameras, all but the very first camera on page 1 disappear after opening and closing the application a few times. Set it back up and it does it again and again. Please fix.
Great app but Samsung s6 egde gets so hot it goes into cool down mode. Every time. Would love to be able to save videos. Thanks.
it works well with all version of my previous version of android. but somehow i can't get it to work with version 7.1.1 any idea any one? thanks
Sad hard to use app works poorly. Please fix. Problem with Samsung 6 edge and Motorola razer
Latest update requested access to the local phone camera but I can't see anything in new features as to why it needs access?
I got a new phone Samsung Galaxy s7 and the geo vision won't work properly it only pulls up 1 camera,I thought is was my phone,but it's not its the geovision, it worked on my Samsung s6 edge but not on the s7 edge,what do I do??
Congradulations! You defished recorded video after 10 years! Looking forward to listen recorded audio as well after next 10 years.
Slow app.It lacks the ability to backup and restore.I would be nice also to have an password to open the application.
No problems at all.
App constantly locks up phone. Running Android 5.0 with Samsung S5. Sometimes freezes to the point where I have to hard boot. I have tested this on 2 different Galaxy S5's and 2 different Galaxy S4's. All same problem. Contacted geovision and they said it a problem with my phone and they have not seen any issues on their end. No help at all. Disappointing since I have spend alot of money with this system and with this new version 2.2, I cannot successfully access my system remotely. I highly recommend downgrading to version 2.1. Seems to have an issue with playbacks but at least the live video is now functioning.
Come on guys what is this. This app really needs work. It just doesn't work come on. We need full screen functionality, when you are viewing single cam you should be able to swipe the screen to goto next camera. Worst thing is this that screen goto sleep when watching cameras. That's not done how is this possible. You can't be touching the screen every 30 seconds. Hopefully tech team will consider our demands very soon. Otherwise this app is simply useless. I spent several thousand dollars on this system.

The UI on this app is terrible. The simplest of functions are very counter-intuitive, and the initial configuration of new devices is a painful process. If Hikvision can make a functional and user-friendly app, the I would really expect Geovision to be able to do the same.
Without fail, locks my phone up every time I use the app. If you want an app to view your cameras don't use this. Sadly it seems geovision has gone downhill.
Installed on Samsung S7 Edge. Locks up phone after 10 seconds after cameras added. Very Disappointed.
You need to understand IP networking to get the cameras and DVR application setup, but it works great when you get everything connected. I like how easy it is to pull up a live feed on your phone then go straight to archived recordings. The quality of the software is why I picked these cameras
This app is useless on my Samsung S7. The more cameras you add the worse it gets. After 8 cameras the phone freezes up and is useless. Bring back GVAVIEW.
I send email to support they provided me a new version which works much better on the Samsung phones thanks to Ryan who mentioned this on his post
Works flawless on my old LG G4 but unusable on my S7 Edge. It makes the phone unresponsive and have to hard reboot in order to make it usable again... Please fix!
