Reviews of DS cam

  • Great home surveillance camera app but

    First, DS Cam works very well with my new Reolink cameras. Even better than the manufacturers camera app. Well done Synology team.

    But their are a few privacy and functional issues I hope you guys can address that should be an easy fix. When I go to take a snapshot or download a video recording directly to my Photos app it asks for full photos access, which is not needed and a privacy risk. It should allow to save with photos privacy option selected photos only but gives the pop up "Error Please go to iOS Settings to allow DS cam to access your photo library.”

    Also there is an issue with the home button being disabled in the playback screen and I have to drag the home bar up to the middle of my screen to get out.

    Also no two way talk and the PTZ function does not work. Please fix these issues and I think it would be a perfect app.

    Thanks.

    Dear User, thank you for the kindly feedback and we apologize for the inconvenience. Downloading to Photo requires full permissions. We will confirm other issues and will keep working hard to make DS cam better.
  • Working well

    Ive been using this for 18 months and It suits my needs fine. Im pretty low maintenance with my needs, I run 8 POE cameras and have no issues. I had disconnect issues in the beginning but realized I needed to have static IP addresses so my cameras would stop getting diff IPs during power outages. Since making that change in my configuration all has been good. Also, set playback quality to Low so you are not trying to send high quality video to your tiny mobile screen. Took me another minute to figure out why my mobile would bog down, it was due to 8 cameras of high quality video coming in at same time. Now all is smooth and has been fitting my needs for some time with no issues for me. Your results may vary.

  • Great app to replace my AVR

    I was using Hikvision AVR not the best option and the UI looks pretty old school. The DS Cam definitely is a better choice for my family. Easy to scroll to detection. Download record etc. everyone own has a IP camera should give a shot on this app
