### 4/5 — Best Multi Camera App for AppleTV

*2024-11-02, version 1.3.6*

When looking for suitable App that shows me all my 6 Reolink cameras (RLC-811A and RLC81-MA) I found this one. And yeah it works. Love the configuration capability via built-in Web Interface and the possibility of config files. For Reolink Cameras I recommend to activate the rtp over rtsp setting. The cam view works better than. The only disadvantage is the slower loading rate of all cameras compared to the Reolink App. Also CCTV Viewer usually lags often from 3-5 seconds. But for a multi Manufacturer IP-Camera App it works great. Greetings from Germany.

### 4/5 — I can now view my home cameras on my Apple TV!

*2020-08-09, version 1.3.0*

Can see my HikVision cameras around my home on my TV :)
Easy to set up, very pleased, can view the main stream so the quality is excellent.  Could do with pinch zoom and control of PTZ.  Very pleased.

### 4/5 — Works great with my hikvision cameras using rtsp

*2020-04-13*

Works great with my cameras. The Apple TV app is also very nice. I would give 5 stars for an option to sync the settings using iCloud, otherwise it works great.

### 5/5 — TV as a camera monitor...

*2019-10-20, version 1.1.0*

I needed a way to have a feed of some of my camera to show a feed on my tv. Having a Apple TV on my kitchen tv I was able to use CCTV Viewer to show two of my cameras that I needed to see at all times. Working great with my Ubiquiti cameras that I setup to output a RSTP stream. Exactly what I was needing for my use case. Thanks, Keep up the good work.

### 5/5 — Awesome, and exactly what I was looking for!

*2019-10-19, version 1.1.0*

This is an excellent app. I am using it not only on my iPad, but it works great on AppleTV.
The AutoCycle is very cool!

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work as advertised

*2024-11-05, version 1.3.6*

Tried linking to Unifi Protect and RTSP and both just result in error messages. Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Unifi does not work

*2024-03-14, version 1.3.6*

Never connects

### 1/5 — Keine Funktion mit Reolink Kameras

*2023-12-10, version 1.3.6*

Die App zeigt keine meiner beiden Reolink Kameras an. Weder auf dem iPad, noch auf dem Apple TV.

### 1/5 — Rubbish, do not buy

*2022-01-08, version 1.3.5*

Will not connect to our cameras. Scam.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2021-03-29, version 1.3.3*

App did not connect, I sent email for help and was still unable to connect 
It may be my end that isn’t working but I am not an it wizard and did not get enough help to resolve.
Requested refund

### 1/5 — Apple TVOS 14.02 / IOS 14.01

*2020-10-12, version 1.3.2*

Since upgrading to these versions I cannot view my cameras. The app loads. Checked the settings and all correct. Can you help.

### 1/5 — Streams freeze and unintuitive UI

*2020-09-01, version 1.3.1*

Probably the most unintuitive app on the App Store. What ever happened to buttons that you tap on? It expects you press on parts of the screen to “reveal” something. How am I supposed to know to press on something I can’t see?

The major problem however is that RTSP streams freeze. These streams do not freeze when viewed on the computer.

### 1/5 — Total crap

*2020-04-22, version 1.2.3*

Completely useless app

### 1/5 — Quits on Unifi login

*2019-05-10, version 1.0.7*

Unifi integration doesn’t seem to work. Quits on login attempt.

### 2/5 — UniFi Support

*2026-05-09, version 1.4.0*

Fails on getting cameras and force closes app. Annoying to have to input credentials multiple times to test if it’s working. Will give more or less stars based on how long it takes to fix.

### 5/5 — Simple, good, RTSP, …

*2022-12-20, version 1.3.6*

…for TV and Pad

Mehr geht nicht. Danke!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2022-06-23, version 1.3.6*

Shows all of my cameras (rtsp feeds) on all of my devices.

### 5/5 — Great support

*2021-10-13, version 1.3.5*

Purchased the app to be able to view my CCTV on Apple TV box. Had a bit of difficulty adding details to get it working. Kevin was very helpful and tried several solutions. Eventually got it sorted 👍

### 5/5 — Great App & Support

*2021-04-05, version 1.3.3*

App works flawlessly.
Had an issue with the Unifi integration and MFA (no solution has yet been made available by Ubiquiti) but Kevin provided a workaround within minutes that got me up and running in quickly.

### 5/5 — Finally a decent camera app for AppleTV

*2020-12-14, version 1.3.2*

I’ve been searching for a good app to get my home cameras on my tv... I’ve tried several different apps but never had one that would actually work well with my tonton system. Took a minute to figure out the stream setup for rtsp but it all looks good on the big screen

Great work!

### 5/5 — Great App - Takes your camera views with you everywhere

*2020-11-05, version 1.3.2*

I do not normally leave reviews, but for this PlasmaSoft cctv viewer I feel I must.
I give the software the maximum allowed, 5 STARS.
However, between you and me, I give 10 STARS for the Apps creator, Kevin Marshall, for his momentous after-sales service, help and patience he has shown to me in setting this up.
Never have I found such back-up for any software I have purchased before and I have bought an awful lot and costing far more than this. I consider this App to be very under priced!
My conclusion therefore is - Buy this App with Confidence. Any probs with setup ask for help, this Guy is an expert.

### 5/5 — Great app for viewing my cameras on iPad and ATV

*2020-04-25, version 1.2.3*

Great simple app for quick view of cameras. I have Sighthound running on Mac, but this app is great for monitoring the cameras locally on ATV or iPad. I found it useful to google my cameras to find the correct stream, a little bit of trial and error but worth persevering. Couldn’t find an app for the iPhone?

### 5/5 — Works Great on Apple TV and iPads

*2020-03-12, version 1.2.2*

This app is a great addition to my Connected Home. It is quite easy to use and provides a easy setup function. The settings are easy to understand and give better utility for my 7 camera installation. 

Having the camera view rotate through gives great visibility and eliminates the cumbersome effort that I have seen using other apps. 

Kevin is quick to respond to questions and his great Customer Service is rare these days.

### 5/5 — Tut was sie soll, kein Schnickschnack, sehr gut

*2020-01-07, version 1.2.0*

Mehr ist nicht zu sagen: Tut was sie soll, kein Schnickschnack, sehr gut

### 5/5 — Great CCTV for IP Cameras Apple TV

*2020-01-04, version 1.1.1*

When I purchased a new Apple TV (4K) to upgrade my 3rd GEN, I was looking for a CCTV APP for my IP Cameras, and couldn't beleive I couldn't find one for a reasonable Price and good reviews.  App Advice had this app listed.

I had already mapped out my RTSP Path for Primary Dahua Stream for an iPhone APP. The only difficulty I had was using my iPhone keyboard to input Names and URL, and Apple TV kept echoing, I'm not sure if this was due to Apple TV or the APP.  It made it difficult to keep names correct, pasting RTSP Path was my easiest way to input it, after several attempts to add Dahua URL.  

The APP however, works great, and the only suggestion I have is to add a PIP feature, so I can have a camera up while watching something else. Not sure if APPLE-TV Supports this feature, but something to consider.

My ipad is on iOS 10, and don't want to update it loosing  32-bit apps, so I'm using it exclusively for APPLE-TV CCTV Camera Monitoring.  Thanks for creating this APP, and pricing it correctly! It seems IP Camera Monitoring is being ignored by others!
