Step-by-Step Mobile CCTV Setup Guide
This guide covers setting up the XMeye app- the standard software AMCO's CCTV systems use - on your Android or iOS phone, so you can view your cameras remotely from anywhere.
Setting up on a PC instead? See our CCTV desktop setup guide.
Whether you've just had a system installed or you're setting up an existing monitored CCTV system on a new phone, these six steps will get you viewing live footage in a few minutes.
Get up and running in 6 steps
Search the Play Store
Open the Play Store (or App Store on iPhone) and search for "xmeye".
Install the XMeye app
Download and install the XMeye app - it's the standard app AMCO's CCTV systems use, and it's free.
Choose Local Login
Launch XMeye and select "Local Login" under "Other ways to login".
Add your system
Tap the plus (+) button in the top right to add your CCTV system.
Enter your system's details
Enter a Device Name (any label works, e.g. "Home") and the Serial Number for cloud connectivity. Enable "Advanced" if you need to enter a username/password, and enable "DDNS" if you're connecting via DDNS/No-IP or a fixed IP address. Tap OK to confirm.
Start viewing
View individual cameras, or tap "Start Preview" to see all camera feeds at once.

If you get stuck linking your system to the app, our team can talk you through it over the phone.
Still using an older, basic CCTV system?
If your current setup only records footage rather than actively watching for trouble, AMCO's AI-enhanced CCTV upgrades add motion detection, object-movement alerts and facial recognition on top of what you already have - so you find out about a problem as it happens, not after. Read more about how monitored CCTV works.
