A great advert for Synology
Yet another piece of out dated junk-software from QNAP.
3 years no updates
When will this app get updated?
How can a massively expensive system that costs a fortune per camera license have a rubbish app that crashes and never gets updates. Sometimes I wonder about Qnap.

Keep crashing out
Setup is fiddly but QNAP provide good online setup help.
App crashes out on iPhone after a few minutes of surveillance and does not restart just goes back to iOS desktop.

Obsolete
Why apple doesn't remove obsolete and useless apps to avoid loss of time????
Doesn't work on ios9
Crashes. A lot.
Great Potential - Poorly Done By QNAP
This is a good idea and would work well if it, well worked !
The app is not intuitive and lacks clear instructions - it also does not seem to work.
The expectation is that you will see the IP of your device in the top right , but after testing in a few devices it just states 0.0.0.0.
Also the aspect rations/resolution is off, it does not show you the correct dimensions through the camera - for some reason they as skewed! Giving things a fairground mirror affect.
Lastly the app looks like an old iOS 6 attempt it lacks the polish and quality you would expect from QNAP.
A great idea (keep in mind this works with Surveillance Station) - they just need to make it work.
I hope to be able to write a positive review in the future !

Not very useful - crashes frequently
This app regularly shuts-down/crashes (on an iPad Mini 2 with iOS 9.1), so that kind of defeats the whole point of using it as a reliable surveillance camera (the purpose of this app), even temporarily or for special situations.
Add to that the fact that, on an iPad a great 5MP camera, this app only sends a 640x480 image (thatโs 0.3MP), so very low resolution. There is also no motion detection of any kind in the app or the QNAP Surveillance Station, so aside from low-res live viewing, you can only manually record. And as for live viewing, on an Intel dual-core NAS/NVR, with a wired 1GB network from the NAS/NVR to my iMac (and fast full strength WiFi from the iPad), all with lots of power/resources/bandwidth to spare, there is a delay/lag of about 3.5 secs before you see it on the screen (QVR Client). And as this review is about this app, Iโll leave out the excessive bugs/problems with the QNAP Surveillance Station software, even though it is a necessary part of this whole system.

Too unstable and zooms image
Causes phone to overheat. Does not work consistently. Also zooms and crops the picture and isn't transmitting a HD picture. Great concept though I just wish it would work better.
Simply does not work.
Interesting concept. Simply does not work.
iPhone 5S with latest update.
TS-219p QTS 4.1
Settings were good and accepted by SS.
On "Camera Overview" is idle with a green checkmark. Will update review with further testing

Bad application from qnap
This app is very vague in what it does. The English is broken and filled with spelling mistakes. Why would qnap publish an app this bad is beyond me.
