Core Features
- Device Compatibility & Discovery: Instant discovery of ONVIF devices (potentially compatible with over 5000 NVT devices including network cameras and servers). Non-ONVIF IP cameras are supported via generic RTSP or MJPEG streams.

- Interface & Viewing: Supports multi-view simultaneous streaming, portrait and landscape orientations, and fit or crop-and-fill viewing modes. Includes an in-app snapshot preview screen that updates periodically.
- Widgets: Provides an Android home screen widget displaying snapshot previews and allowing one-click video streaming initiation.
- Recording: Local recording outputting to standard MP4 format with H.264 video and AAC audio encoding.
- Device Exploration: In-depth analysis and exploration of device properties.
