Hi everyone,
I’ve been developing an app called CCTV Bridge for viewing CCTV cameras and NVR systems directly on Android TV, Google TV and Amazon Fire TV devices.
The idea is to provide a simple TV-friendly interface for people who want to monitor their own cameras on a large screen without needing a dedicated PC or monitor.
Current features include:
• Live camera viewing
• 1 / 4 / 8 camera grid layouts
• Full-screen camera view
• Main stream and sub-stream support
• PTZ controls for compatible cameras
• Optical and digital zoom
• Playback of supported recordings
• Local network camera/NVR discovery
• Support for RTSP and ONVIF compatible devices
• QR-assisted setup using a phone
• Remote-control friendly interface
I have tested it with systems including Hikvision, Dahua, Imou, Tapo and Uniview, although compatibility can obviously vary depending on the camera/NVR model and firmware.
CCTV Bridge does not provide any video content or streams. It is simply a viewer for the user’s own CCTV equipment.
The app is now available for Android TV / Google TV and Amazon Fire TV.
I’m interested in feedback from people here, particularly regarding:
• Camera/NVR models you would like supported
• RTSP/ONVIF compatibility
• Recording playback
• PTZ behaviour
• Older or low-spec Android/Fire TV devices
• Features you would find useful in a TV CCTV viewer
If anyone is interested in testing it with their own CCTV system, I’d be happy to hear how it performs.
