one way
i like this app, but my mac mini can't find my iphone's camera. my iphone can find my mac mini's camera, however. this app seems more for two ios devices. don't expect any tech support, my email was thrown into their etrash can.
useless for remote access
absolute waste of money.. works ok if you are on the same network but terrible if you intent to leave home and use as a security camera.. I bought the Pro version and set it up correctly but would not work when I was away from home.. every now and then it would but majority of times it wouldn’t… bought a real cheap camera instead and it works a treat.. don’t waste your money

Consistent IP connection (wireless intranet)
AirBeam consistently works via IP and that’s exactly what I need. Epoccam, OBS Camera wasted my money and time with terrible connection problems.
Unstable & unsupported
This should be so good but I can’t get it to reliably hold a wifi connection. I have emailed support but get no reply. Have the developers lost interest? Frustrated and disappointed.
Requires more features to be useful
What I’ve seen and am currently using is good start. But to be truly useful for its intended function, several additional features are needed: 1. A mask needs to be added so that motion detection is limited to only a selected area of the image. 2. “Light switch”/sunny-cloudy recognition needs to be added. Nearly all of my detections are simply from changes in ambient light levels. 3. A greater range of online and network storage options are needed. E.g. Google Drive, iCloud Drive, network shares etc. Further to these, there are two controls for motion detection, the sensitivity and the threshold. There needs to be better documentation on how these work together and how to set the two for the best effect, and certainly how to reduce false positives.

Bought this App to use is my iPhone as a Webcam and didnt work.
The Webcam didnt work. Dont waste your money
Simply doesn’t work!!
Read the title. It is as simple as it gets
Puppy Monitor
Works great on an old iPhone (5s I think 🤔) as a puppy monitor. You can adjust bandwidth remotely if you have a poor connection and adjust digital aperture (or really just “brightness”) by setting the focus via the remote phone (i.e. touch dark area on screen and it refocuses and brightens). Overall, pretty solid app 👍

Awesome
Confirmed working July 2019
App works on an iPhone 6s acting as the camera monitored by an iPad 4 and a 2012 MBP. Tremendous lag using the AirBeam apps on the monitoring devices, this is easily fixed by accessing the IP address of the phone in the browsers on the monitors. No lag in the browser.
Successfully controlled camera shutter and video capture remotely from the iPad. Have not tested audio. Have not tested further camera settings control. Motion sensor didn’t seem to immediately intuitively work but haven’t thoroughly tested so by no means conclude it doesn’t work. The iPhone did not provide the correct IP address to access at first. After going into settings to get the IP the IP overlay updates to the correct one.
It is rather seamless, certainly works and is worth the money. More features than I need (just wanted a remote shutter for the phone). Tons of features. Read the detailed review from February 2019 (using the app to answer the far away phone on the nearby iPad-neat!).
