I was able to turn my iPhone into a Dash cam with this app!!! I didn’t think it would work over cellular data... I DOES! Very cool

Might be the coolest app in surveillance!!!

This feature is SO cool! This allows your phone to be a recorded stream on your VMAX IP Plus NVR!

This app turned my iPhone camera into a camera on my security system!

I was able to use this app to turn the camera on my iPhone into a camera on my VmaxIP Plus NVR. Even though I was traveling the video from my iPhone was being recorded at my office.

Revolutionary App!

This app is unbelievable! The most useful development in video security that I have come across. I made sure we had updated the firmware on our client’s recorder, downloaded the app to my iPad, pushed the button on the app and PRESTO! There was the feed from my iPad camera being recorded! It worked great over my 3G connection from our office. The client recorder is 45 miles away, but I guess it could be anywhere, right? They said that they will be having all their security personnel install this app on their iPhones and stream live when on patrol. It is for their protection as much as the company’s.
