### 5/5 — Great Secure Baby Monitor

*2023-07-30*

We have an autistic child who is now 8 y/o. We started using this app when she was brought home from the hospital and we’ve been using ever since because she needs a little more monitoring than the average child. We have been using a Foscam POE PTZ camera the entire time with no issues. What’s great about using the POE is the camera is secure and not sending wireless data/images of my daughter’s bedroom. The standard wireless (not Wi-Fi, wireless) baby cameras all share the same frequencies so one of the monitors can access other cameras if it’s close enough. Lots of videos online of people accidentally picking up their neighbors’ baby feeds. If you want and have the technical abilities, you can also access this from outside your home if you know how to access your network. I highly recommend it.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2023-06-18*

As long as you have a little bit of an understanding of how to connect to and setup an ip camera it is absolutely awesome. I’ve been using it as my primary baby monitor for 6 years now. I use an Amcrest ptz camera as the monitor, in case you want a recommendation. Even taught myself to setup a vpn to my home network so I can see the kids while I’m out of town. I didn’t like the idea of opening a port to a webcam in my kids room so I went big on the encryption and security. Probably overkill but it works great. One thing I wish I could see added is the ability to watch the video while doing something else on your phone. The audio monitor does run in the background so that’s good. I withheld 1 star just for that one feature. Probably harsh but it should be an easy fix.

### 5/5 — Simply the best

*2022-12-21, version 6.0.5*

We have tried countless, standalone devices and different apps. This is by far the most flexible and adjustable. I even just bought a very expensive, smart monitor and ended up returning it because I didn’t feel it offered the flexibility this app brings.

### 5/5 — Lifesaver

*2022-11-14, version 6.0.5*

I’ve been using this app for several years across multiple children.  Both my wife and I have purchased every addon as this was so much cheaper than a dedicated baby monitor.  I can even watch the cameras while doing yard work or going on a close walk, as I can vpn home!

It’s amazing. I love this app!  So easy to integrate an Amcrest camera, while not bricking my home monitoring solution. 

5-stars!  

Although two suggestions I’d love to make. 
- Support the latest Picture in Picture from iOS (will pay for this upgrade!)
- also, going from this app to music has bugs. It’ll stop the music from playing and if you switch to the music app it appears the background monitoring stops. So monitoring while trying to squeeze in an exercise has some issues at the moment.  I have to flip back to this app and the resume music via the pull-down menu.

### 4/5 — Fantastic app

*2022-07-22, version 6.0.5*

This app works so well and is so much better than the default amcrest app. I especially love that I can monitor in the background. Gave 4 stars only because my camera, amcrest ASH21-B-V3, isn't officially supported. I get video and audio by selecting any other amcrest camera but cannot use the camera controls and so I have to go to the default app to do so. But monitoring with this app is seamless. The only feature from the default app I like is the privacy me where the camera turns off and points to itself so nothing can be viewed of it were hacked. Then it remembers the position to return to when privacy mode is of turned off. Would be a cool feature.

### 5/5 — Excellent monitoring app

*2022-03-28, version 6.0.5*

Works well with my foscam Wi-Fi cameras. Only issue I have is the sound that the cameras hear squelch when in the app at my home.  Have to turn down the volume on my phone to view cameras

### 3/5 — love it when it works

*2022-03-17, version 6.0.5*

This app has been great to access the camera from either my phone or my husbands, or to leave an iPad with the app for a sitter. However in the last month or so the app randomly doesn’t work for hours at a time and I have to use the camera software instead which is frustrating when I paid for this app and it s regularly failing.

### 5/5 — Best baby monitor app

*2022-03-11, version 6.0.5*

I have been using for 5 years after my $200 Samsung monitor quit working. Once it is set up it has worked amazing. I ended up hardwiring my cameras and that helped a lot with delay. I have 3 cameras on it and it works flawlessly. The one time fee is well worth it

### 5/5 — Absolutely Awesome

*2022-02-06, version 6.0.5*

We have been using this app for over 10 years and love it. Three kids have cameras in their rooms and also our playroom. We can see them all at the same time or just one. You can see, talk, and listen through the app and even pan, tilt, and zoom if your cameras allow it. The best part to me is that the images don’t go to Google, or Apple, or anyone else. There is no third party required. Just us. We use Foscam R2 cameras with pan, tilt, zoom, and night vision. Any available internet connection and I can check on my kids in https security, even around the world.

### 5/5 — Thank you for the updates!

*2022-01-25, version 6.0.5*

I thought that this app was dead after 2 years with no updates.  We have depended on this app daily for the past 5 years.  My only other request would be to add a generic RTSP stream URL option so you can use almost any modern camera on the market.
