Though you must have a camera and use cameraftp service. But you can use a webcam, or a smartphone as ip camera. Super easy to setup. You can live view or play back camera footage, or even video call a remote mobile security camera or webcam. Good for security surveillance and baby monitor. **Developer response:** Thank you for your great feedback. We will always try our best to serve you. This is the viewer app for CameraFTP's cloud recording service. The viewer app is available on iOS, Android, Windows, and you can also use any web browser without installing an app. The viewer supports live viewing and playback. If you use our Mobile Security Camera app, or CameraFTP VSS software (use PC as CCTV DVR system), then it supports 2-way live video and audio viewing/calling. It is a unique feature, not available in any IP security cameras. You can use it as a pet or baby monitor. ### 5/5 — App works great *2020-05-19* Have been using this app for several years now. If there are any issues the developer is quick to send out an update to fix the problem. I have 5 cameras on the program and everything works as it should. **Developer response:** Sorry for the problem and our slow response here. Please contact CameraFTP support via email or phone. Our phone support is available during normal business hours. Our email support is available nearly 24x7. The problem should have been resolved long time ago. In addition, there are multiple ways to access your recorded footage. You can log on to www.cameraftp.com, then go to My Cameras page to view your camera; you can use our mobile viewer apps for iOS and Android; you can also download all recorded footage from the cloud to your local/cloud account. You can then view them offline. ### 5/5 — Very nice *2019-02-02, version 3.4.277* This app is easier than other camera viewers, if you can configure your cameras to upload to cameraftp. The price is quite low for home monitoring service. **Developer response:** Yes, CameraFTP's cloud recording/monitoring service is indeed easier than other cloud surveillance services. You never need to configure your Firewall (open port; port forwarding, Static IP or DDN service, etc.); your camera does not need to be accessible from the cloud. So it is easier and more secure. If you want to use a Webcam as an IP camera, you can install CameraFTP VSS software. CameraFTP VSS can use a PC as a CCTV DVR system. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2018-08-16, version 3.4.275* The app is free, but I have subscribed to have camera video uploaded and saved when motion is detected by the camera. Recordings are kept for 7 days, and I can view any captured video recorded over the last 7 days. You can subscribe to upload snapshots or video when movement is detected - but don’t make the mistake I initially made of subscribing to upload snapshots but setting up the camera to upload video! Do this and you can download the video from the CameraFTP’s web site but this app will not work! ### 2/5 — Cannot select other date/time *2016-01-10, version 3.4.235* Date/time selector not working. Zoom limited until image firs screen... not good if you have a high resolution camera and want to see more detail on a particular frame. ## Frequently asked questions about CameraFTP Viewer ### What is CameraFTP Viewer?
