Difference between 見覚える / 覚える / 思い出す
`見覚えある` is used when you mention something you have seen before.

> この絵、見覚えある。  
>  I have seen this picture before.

Since `見覚え` is a noun, there is no verb `見覚える`. So the formal form of `見覚えある`
is `見覚えがある`.

Additionally, there is a similar expression: `聞き覚えがある`. It is used when you
mention something you have heard or listened before.
