If you own a budget-friendly IP security camera, you have likely encountered the term "V380." V380 is not a camera manufacturer itself but a popular mobile application (available on iOS and Android) and a firmware ecosystem used primarily by white-label Chinese security camera manufacturers. Brands like "MaxiVision," "KDJIO," "Lefang," and countless generic "WiFi Camera" models rely on the V380 platform.
