### 5/5 — Works flawlessly!!

*2012-03-06*

This App FAR exceeded my expectations.  Not sure what issues everyone was having but I was able to install it on the iphone4, then on my PC and it works flawlessly.  I am also able to hook multiple Webcams on the same PC and switch between them remotely from my iPhone.  So I now have a camera in my garage, equipment room, mud room where my dog stays in the day and main room where the front door is.  No matter where I am I can always check up on the house and dog.  The app also lets me listen in on the house for any abnormal noises.  NOTE:  You do have to adjust one setting on your router to allow operation over 3G or 4G.  LOVE THIS APP!

### 4/5 — Great

*2010-07-12*

Excellent app.  The motion detector features seem to be broken atm, but everything else works fantastically.

The other downer is that there doesn't seem to be a back button from the cam view so you can pick a different camera.  My computer has an internal cam as well as an iSight, and I can only switch between them by restarting the app.

It's certainly a little pricey, but overall it's a great app.  The fps is actually quite nice - better than what I was expecting.

### 4/5 — Works for me**Update**

*2010-03-02*

Works as advertised. I installed using a imac and it was really easy to set up. In landscape mode the menu goes away so the only way to take a snap shot is to press the power button and menu button at the same time on the iPhone. Also it laggs 4 seconds behind. Quality is good also. Very clear in a well lit room using my iMacs iSight camera. 
It would be really cool to have an option to record everything and connect remotely though;) 
Overall I am pleased with this app's performance and easy set up. 
4 stars until a recording option comes into play:P

**Update** Whooo Now supports video recording!!! You guys are awesome!! Just push record and it records into the "aircam" folder in your documents folder (on a mac). I love this app even more! 
A big thanks to the developers for the awesome update!! 
Five stars as promised!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2010-03-01*

I have had minor issues with crashing but instead of complaining about it I was figuring out what I did wrong. And the only reason it actually started crashing was because my set up was different before my hole iPhone or itouch crashed on me. Not related to air cam. But just did some minor changes then went to the website and redownload the software. I got it to work flawlessly with no more crashes.

### 4/5 — Good Security Option

*2009-12-04*

I've been running this for months now, the last update got the motion detection working. I use it with OSX & Win7 without any issues. My network is airport wireless. Great way to monitor home while away. When something moves it emails me a photo. Forget about the lite version it only works when you're at home, nice way to test it out. I have used it on 3G and edge network with some lag but it works. Wifi gets the best results. This is my most used app and for the price you can't get a better security system.

### 5/5 — Works perfect, though not plug and play. Also, crazy awesome!

*2009-06-16*

Didn't work right out the box, though doing a bit of research and configuring a few ports was all it took to get this thing running. It never fails to impress no matter who I show this to. Especially if I'm riding in a moving car on the highway. And home security is basically a peace-of-mind thing, and compared to how much work it is to set up any other type of home security, this is really really ridiculously easy.

### 1/5 — Great Home Security App

*2009-06-14*

Good App for Home Security.    Downloaded free program at Sentic website to confirm my desktop (runs Mac OS 10.5.5) can work with webCam application.  Bought webCam app from iTunes store.  Connected Logitech QuickCam VisionPro ($129) -- also works great with iSight camera that came with desktop!  Connected via 3G network -- which is somewhat unpredictable/unreliable.  Has always worked via home wireless network, but 3G network connection will work only intermittently.  Can't seem to figure why this is so unpredictable with 3G.  Maybe a future upgrade will alleviate this.   I have downgraded original 5-star rating to 3-star rating due to this unpredictable 3G issue.

### 4/5 — Works great and great support team

*2009-04-23*

When I first purchased the Air Cam I have to be honest, I was unable to get it to work properly. There was a connection issue on 3G and WiFi worked only sometimes. However, the great support team over at Senstic worked with me on my issue and provided exceptional service to resolve this issue. They have since released an update to the software which works perfectly. I have to applaud their support team for staying on top of my issue and fixing it quickly. I would definitely recommend Air Cam to others, as the video and sound work great and it loads up very quickly. Thanks again and looking forward to seeing what Senstic will bring next.

### 5/5 — Works great! And...

*2009-04-05*

I installed this today, 4/3/09, and it was easy. VERY easy. And I'm not technologically gifted either!  Works great on 8 GB iPhone with the Bonjour/WiFi setting. 

I walked across the street to test out the Edge network (mine obviously doesn't have 3G capabilities), and I tried, as the instructions asked, for several attempts over many minutes. No luck. I finally got to the point where it asked for my password instead of merely saying "Unable to Connect" in initial Edge attempts.  However, it supposedly pulled up my cam... but all I saw was a blank screen. Then I finally got an error message that said to make sure my camera was still on at my home computer, which it was. 

Please continue to update this amazing product. Not sure it's worth the $7 yet--- YET! With an improvement on the Edge network connectivity, I could see it being worth the price I paid. 

Overall, great product and good explanations on set-up and information within program. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great app! Works as advertised!

*2009-04-01*

I used the app with the built in cam on my Asus eeepc on winxp and it works flawlessly. Just follow the instructions provided and you are good to go. The wife and I are having a baby soon and after reading about the app, I wanted to test it to see if I can use this as a baby monitor. Works great even outside my own wifi. Edge is almost useless, however. Few tweaks needed: allow us to go back to the connection screen after camera has started. Allow us to end a stream without exiting the app. Maybe split or 4 way view with different cameras? I believe another app does this. Better ui once we are in camera mode. The icons don't make sense until you hit the info button, which is also hard to hit. Other than that, I am happy with the app. Worth the money but needs a few tweaks. Great app!
