The V380s app has been removed from Google Play, so stop hunting for a V380s PC download. The current app for these cameras is V380 Pro, and you have two honest routes on a computer: run V380 Pro inside a free Android emulator, or use the vendor’s dated but real V380 Windows client.

What happened to V380s
V380s was one of several apps from the V380 camera family. Its last update shipped back in 2022, and as of July 2026 its Google Play listing returns a 404. The developer has consolidated on V380 Pro, which is actively maintained, requires Android 7 or newer and carries tens of millions of installs. If your camera was set up with V380s, V380 Pro is the app to move to: add the camera with the same account or re-pair it once, and it behaves the same afterwards. Do not sideload old V380s APKs from mirror sites; an abandoned build of a camera app is a security liability, not a convenience.
The official way to get V380 on PC
Unusually for a budget camera brand, the vendor does publish a Windows program. The downloads page at v380camera.com, run by Guangzhou Hongshi Electronic Technology (the company behind the V380 brand), offers “V380 Windows” version 2.0.8 for 64-bit Windows 7, 8 and 10, delivered as a RAR archive. It is real, but set expectations: it is an old build, the vendor does not list Windows 11 support, and the interface is far rougher than the phone app. It covers the basics, logging into your account and viewing cameras on a big screen. If it refuses to run on your machine, fall back to the emulator route below.
Get V380 Windows client (v380camera.com)
For the phone app itself, the only source worth using is the official V380 Pro listing on Google Play.
Install V380 Pro on Windows with an emulator
The emulator route gives you the current app with all its features, which the 2.0.8 Windows client lacks:
- Install BlueStacks from bluestacks.com on Windows 10 or 11.
- Sign in to the Play Store inside BlueStacks and install V380 Pro from the official listing.
- Log in with your existing V380 account. Cameras bound to the account appear without re-pairing.
- Allow the app’s notification permission inside the emulator if you want motion alerts on the desktop.
- If live view lags, give BlueStacks 4 CPU cores and 4 GB RAM in its settings; a single V380 stream is light, multi-camera grids need the extra headroom.
Why the VLC and RTSP trick usually fails with V380
With many CCTV brands we recommend skipping apps entirely and opening the camera’s RTSP stream in VLC. V380 cameras are the exception: most models stream over the vendor’s own protocol and do not expose a standard RTSP feed, which is why the RTSP URLs floating around forums rarely connect. Unless your specific model documents RTSP or ONVIF support, plan around the two official routes above. For brands that do this better, see our CCTV camera apps for PC guide.
Frequently asked questions
Is V380s still available for download?
Not from Google Play; the listing is gone as of July 2026. The maintained replacement is V380 Pro from the same developer, and that is what you should run on both phone and PC.
Is there a V380 app for PC or laptop?
Yes, two options: the vendor’s V380 Windows client (version 2.0.8, 64-bit) from v380camera.com, or the full V380 Pro Android app inside BlueStacks. The emulator gives you the newer software; the native client is lighter on resources.
Does the V380 Windows client work on Windows 11?
The vendor only lists 64-bit Windows 7, 8 and 10 for version 2.0.8. It may run on Windows 11, but it is not documented, so if it misbehaves the supported answer is the emulator route.
Are V380s and V380 Pro the same app?
They came from the same developer and serve the same cameras, but they are separate apps. V380s is retired; V380 Pro is the one still receiving updates and the one new cameras pair with.
Verdict
The V380s era is over, and pages telling you to download the V380s APK are steering you into abandoned software. Use V380 Pro in BlueStacks if you want the modern app on a big screen, or the vendor’s Windows client if you just need a simple native viewer and your PC runs a supported Windows version. Owners of mixed camera setups can handle other brands the same way; see our guides to iCSee on PC and WiseView on PC.
