### 3/5 — Cannot rotate image

*2018-11-01, version 1.5.1*

Seems to work fine, but has no apparent image-rotation feature. So my feed is upside-down.

### 5/5 — Excellent simple onvif camera viewer.

*2017-10-04, version 1.5.1*

Well designed interface and fast too. I tried this version and upgraded to the pro version.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-01-01, version 1.2.0*

I tried endlessly to get this to work. It doesn't adhere to proper onvif standards, and even when I provide it with a raw trap URL, it doesn't work. None of my cameras will display, and it won't give any detailed error. The explanation of what to enter in each field is also non-existent. It's a complete guessing game.
