## What is DVR.Webcam for Dropbox Users?

DVR.Webcam for Dropbox Users is a cloud-based DVR (digital video recorder) app that uses Dropbox as its cloud storage.  The app turns your iOS device into a cloud-based surveillance and monitoring tool that will stream and store live video from your device’s camera.  Unlike other cloud-based DVR solutions, the app does NOT require monthly fees to store your recording.  It simply uses spare storage on your Dropbox.

The app supports the device’s built-in cameras, as well as IP cameras (MJPEG, JPEG, or H.264) on your network.

The app automatically records camera’s live video (in the case of built-in camera, audio as well) and streams it over to your personal Dropbox account. You can define X number of days to keep the DVR recordings in the cloud, and the software will automatically manage the storage for you.

You can easily remotely view your DVR recordings stored on Dropbox using a web browser from another computer or mobile device.  For example, you can use one iOS device as the DVR recorder at home, and remotely view the recordings from another iOS device or computer when you are away.

There is no need to configure firewall or router for remote viewing.  Recording is securely stored on your Dropbox, and therefore it will still be available even if the device is stolen. 

The free app supports up to 8 hours of DVR recording.  Unlimited recording can be upgraded via an in-app purchase.

Features:

* Built-in camera (front and back) support with audio.
* IP camera support (MJPEG, JPEG and H.264 cameras).

### 4/5 — Great App

*2017-08-06, version 2.7.1*

I love this app and use it to record at the house for short periods of time. Recently notice that accessing the options and help page makes the app crash. Please fix this bug.

### 1/5 — ONLY 3 Cameras

*2017-02-25, version 2.7*

I agree with the previous comment regarding NO response from the developer.  It constantly crashes and you can only have 3 cameras setup in the IOS. 

Wait for them to UPDATE before buying this App!

### 1/5 — Works about 1/3 of the time

*2017-02-19, version 2.7*

Makes you sign in to your Dropbox account over and over, anytime you try to do a new recording. The web app to view barely works. Most of the time I get a message saying please pay for the premium version, even though I've paid for the premium version. Tried to email the developer and heard nothing but crickets. Find a different app to use, $10 is not worth the hassle and wasted time trying to get it to work.
