Overpriced
Overpriced for the minimal features. Doesn’t pan, tilt, zoom as advertised.
Great cameras!!!
I’ve had and gone through many different cameras and systems. But..I’d have to say that this is the best camera out of all of the cameras and systems I’ve tried. The camera connects quickly, and they’re always available when needed. That’s why I’m giving this camera and system a FIVE STAR rating. Keep up the good work!!

Works great with a wide mix of old and new cameras
I’ve tried just about every security camera viewer application for the Apple TV, and for the iPhone and I’ve settled on this one, even though it costs a monthly fee. I normally wouldn’t subscribe to software but honestly I got sick of trying all the other applications out there and finding them not working in one way or another. This app works on my iPhone and my Apple TV using really old and some really new cameras and it seems to do it really well, I especially like how you can have different dashboards. For example, I can have the front of the house the driveway, the front door and the street on one dashboard and then I can have the backyard the garage and other miscellaneous cameras on another dashboard for the odd times that I wanna look at those other cameras.
I was even more impressed after I set it all up on my Apple TV and then installed the app on my iPhone and all of the camera settings and all my dashboard settings automatically populatedit into my iPhone from iCloud, I didn’t have to do a single thing to get it working in the second device, which I thought was great, plus the subscription for my Apple TV purchase cover the app on my iPhone as well with all of the pro features included.
There’s a couple of minor improvements I’d like to see such as more easily being able to move the camera sorting order around in the dashboards but otherwise it’s pretty cool and just works and exceeded my expectations.
The other thing I’d like to mention is that many of the other camera apps did not show the full resolution of my Reolink cameras, whereas this app in dashboard mode shows the lower resolution (sub stream)and then as soon as you click on, it shows the full high definition image (main stream), which is exactly how I wanted it to work, and for some reason it seems to be the only one that talks to the Reolink cameras in an apple environment properly and at the full frame rate so things move smoothly and not jerking like many security camera apps do.
It seems to support all of the major modern cameras out there, but interestingly I was able to make some of my really old cameras work as generic IP cameras. All of my new cameras were auto detected and all I had to do was the name them and customise the settings.
To unlock the pro features and to do more than two cameras all you have to do is subscribe for one month minimum which gives you plenty of time to try it out with all of it unlocked and then if you don’t like it just cancel the subscription but if you’re like me, and have been searching for a cross platform security camera viewer then I think you’ll be very happy.

Better stability now
After recent updates, it appears to be more stable now, even with a camera that has shown its own stability issues in the past.
FYI, I solved the camera’s own stability issues by hard wiring it to the Ethernet port of a wifi extender.

Great experience with one flaw
This app fills a need and a lot of thought has gone into it. It’s a mostly polished experience from my point of view. The only issue I’m having is that I’ve paid for a pro subscription but my apple TVs are still restricted to two cameras. I’m not sure if this is intended, but the apple tv UI indicates a pro license should lift that restriction.
Update: restarting the app got it working.

Good but too expensive
Works well but honestly $170 to enable PTZ functionality is absurd
Terrible value
Considering all this app is doing is taking data streams and displaying them which is not terribly difficult to do. The developer is charging an insane amount of money.
Setup on iPad, watch on Apple TV
I use the app primarily on Apple TV, but setting up on the iPad is much quicker. Everything was straightforward once I found the camera information for my Reolink cameras. It’s a great way to monitor the outdoors when you’re trying to preempt your dog from barking at expected visitors (at least until he learns to watch the TV).
