Having an effective security system is essential for protecting your property. GuardianLive is mobile remote video surveillance software that lets you monitor your property regardless of where you might be in the world. The software lets you monitor camera systems linked with your security system using your mobile device. This gives you the ability to respond to any threats and let police or neighbours know if there are any problems.

How it works

GuardianLive allows users to monitor IP-based security systems using a mobile device. The software works with IP cameras (IPC) and network video recorder (NVR) software programmes that record video to digital formats onto a disk drive, SD memory card, USB flash drive or other storage device. GuardianLive is also compatible with DVR based security systems. You can watch and record video as well as switch between videos. There is a cost to monitor multiple cameras using the app.

Should I get this app?

The ability to monitor your property remotely gives you peace of mind and reduces worry. In order for remote security monitoring software to be effective, it needs to be reliable. Although you can theoretically monitor up to eight security feeds with this app, many users of this app have encountered problems. Connection and buffering issues are common, as are error messages indicating cameras are offline. There are also stability issues and the app is known to crash regularly.
