## What is HomeCam for HomeKit?

HomeCam is the best way to monitor multiple Apple Home cameras.

View every camera live at the same time, control nearby accessories without leaving the video, and keep an eye on your entire home from a single screen.

Unlike the built-in Home app, HomeCam is designed specifically for homes with multiple cameras, making it faster and easier to see everything that’s happening at a glance.

### 3/5 — UltraWide Screen

*2026-08-10*

Bonjour merci pour votre application, est-il possible d’intégrer un mode 32:9 pour un écran UltraWide, afin de voir toute les caméras sans devoir scroller ? Merci.

### 5/5 — Superb for viewing all cameras simultaneously (on any Apple device)

*2026-06-26, version 2.6*

I’ve been using Homecam for several years and it is excellent for displaying a live view of all my Netatmo Homekit cameras simultaneously. It is available for Mac, iPhone, iPad and even Apple Watch and just works perfectly.
Audio can be enabled for a single camera or any combination or all cameras which really gives you a feel for what’s going on around your home.

### 2/5 — Slow af if we you have multiple cameras

*2026-04-22*

Very slow to load. It is quicker to open home app, navigate to the cameras than checking here.

**Developer response:** Please reach out via support, and I can help out.

### 5/5 — Fast

*2026-04-04, version 2.5.1*

I’ve 10 cameras and it’s so quick.

### 2/5 — Battery and network killer

*2026-02-02, version 2.5*

Really needs a longer refresh interval. Every minute is the longest setting and is too frequent for a lot of uses.

### 2/5 — Painfully Slow and Useless Popup

*2025-12-31, version 2.5*

I bought HomeCam hoping to create a shortcut to view a specific camera quickly. Unfortunately, it’s painfully slow to connect, often taking longer than just opening the Apple Home app. On top of that, the feed doesn’t display full screen; it’s just a tiny pop-up on your screen, which is even more disappointing. Setup was straightforward, but the performance and usability make it  a waste of money.

### 4/5 — Solid app but lacks a few quality of life features

*2025-11-02, version 2.5*

This app gets a lot of things right, out of the gate. But it feels a bit like it did that and got the recognition on some big website names, and then hasn’t kept up with modern features of the last few years. Why do we not have lock screen icons or control center icons to quickly launch the app from either of those 2 places? And why no widgets? Also, you offer dark. mode icons on iPhone and iPad but macOS now has dark mode icons in Tahoe 26 but your icon is still a bright yellow icon in dark mode and could use a dark mode icon badly. :) Would love if you push a few of these features in for those of us that would use them. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert so nicht

*2025-11-01, version 2.5*

Accessory No Reachable - Und nun? Kein Hinweis was zu tun wäre. Keine Empfehlung... nichts. Das die beiden installierten Cams in HomeKit verfügbar sind, scheint nicht von Bedeutung zu sein. Nicht LifeStyle, sondern Kein Style!

### 5/5 — Refreshing performance and price

*2025-10-23, version 2.5*

Creating a useful app, with a one-time purchase, is what made the App Store great from the start. 

It’s great to see a developer continuing in this tradition.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2025-05-28, version 2.4.8*

This app used to be very slow, now it is phenomenal. I have 15 cameras around my house perimeter and when I open this app, I click on a camera and it IMMEDIATELY comes up with no lag. Great app for viewing all of your cameras with Live View.
