User reviews

Works but low res

It works pretty well, only issue is the video is blurry for some reason, despite being a high res stream. Also the UI is pretty awkward, there’s arrow buttons on the stream in app at all times, and it doesn’t respond to phone orientation

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review - we really appreciate it. People usually say good things about our stream resolution - so it's concerning that a high res stream is being displayed blurry. Could you please email us your camera make and model so that we can look into this for you?The arrow buttons you mention are for quick navigation between different cameras and are functional only when you have more than one camera added. We appreciate the feedback and will definitely investigate how we can make the layout more intuitive and less obstructive. If you have any other feedback or suggestions, please reach out to us at info@camhero.app - we are always happy to hear from you! Best - Rex

Doesn’t work at all

Only works when connected to the same WiFi

Response from developer

Thank you for your review - and sorry that we didn't meet your expectations. Cam Hero is primarily designed to work locally, when both the app and the camera are connected to the same network. This ensures fast, private streaming without requiring an internet connection. To view your cameras remotely, we offer a "Remote Viewing" feature inside the app, with the requirement that you use a second device running Cam Hero as a hub (second device must to connected to same network as the cameras). Another option is to configure port forwarding directly on your camera or NVR hardware (or use a free VPN like Tailscale) and use Cam Hero as usual to view your cameras when away. If you have any questions, please shoot us an e-mail at info@camhero.app and we would love to help you get setup. Have a nice day - Rex

Needs to be a Apple M1

Needs to be a Mac with Apple M1. Buying a Apple M1 computer and your subscription does not justify the price. Very sad about it as it looked really promising.

Worked on my old cameras

I could connect to my old cameras and use them again. Like that there is an AI feature which automatically detects motion and records a video

Buena interfaz

Funcionó muy bien con una cámara Tp-link y la aplicación está en Apple TV así que pude poner la cámara en la pantalla de mi casa.
