Robbed for $2
Waste of money does not work genius tho because I don’t feel like fighting to get back my $2
WARNING!!!
DO NOT INSTALL THIS APP! SHORTLY AFTER INSTALLING THE APP, I HAD MY PHONE TAKE MULTIPLE PHOTOS OF MY FRONT AND BACK CAMERA BY ITSELF! THIS APP IS JUST A $1.99 TRACKER! I REPEAT, DO NOT BUY THIS!
Does not work with IP Camera software as advertised
Tried this with Ivideon and camera never connects. It is advertised as working with IP Cam viever software so if this doesn't work IMHO its a fail. Really wishing they can fix this as it would be awesome to use iphones as surveillance cameras with IP cam viewing software.
Doesn't work as advertised.
Tried to stream with Synology Survaliance Station and Zoneminder. Result - Invalid response status 505: HTTP Version not supported HTTP/1.1.
The App Transmits Video
On iPad4, the App screen is OK, but the web view is upside-down. iPhone5 screen is upside down in the App, but OK in web view. There's no audio from iPhone5, but there is audio from the iPad which cuts out every couple of seconds. I'm seeing a laggy video on any device in any browser (all current browsers and plugins). Video frame rate is two frames per second in web view. In the Support Forum, there are unanswered questions from months ago. It's an OK App if you have no other way at hand to send video.

Great Support
I have purchased many iOS apps over the years. Very few are worth much, and even fewer provide support. I found that this app developer provided excellent support! As a result, I have even downloaded and used other apps produced by this same developer. I am very satisfied and would recommend purchasing IP Cam and other apps developed by Senstic.

Very Limited use
While setup is a snap, the usefulness of the application is minimal. The application must be first and foremost on the device. Meaning that you must have the application displayed on the screen. So you have your camera displayed on the device in order to use it. If you use the Blank Screen option (hahaha), what you have is a dim screen with a green line on the top. Not very useful as a security camera. Save your money.

Works but laggy
It does work. I needed this to work with some standard mjpeg viewer software and it does work like that, so that's good.
Unfortunately, the framerate is pretty disappointing. Regardless of how I set the framerate, resolution, and quality, I get maybe 5fps at best on my 5s. Another cam app I bought after this one has no such problem so I know it's not a hardware / network limitation.
Lastly, it would be nice if the actual resolution was shown in the options instead of just low / medium / high. My client software needed to know the actual resolution so it took some guesswork to get that working.
I'll keep it installed because I've already paid for it but I expect I'll mostly use the other cam app I bought (which was also less expensive) due to the framerate problem.

His app does its job fairly well
It streams your iPhone camera feed to a web page for viewing. I like it because it worked right out of the box, allows me to specify a specific port number, enable a login, record and switch cameras. You can also toggle color audio resolution. In fact, the only feature I am missing is a rotate image button.
That being said, this is a mjpeg streaming ip cam app. The frame rate, and lag severely impact the quality of the image when viewed in a web browser. But this comes with the territory, and not a fault with the app itself.

Horrible, I want my money back
This app is not worth 1.99$ It is a disgrace of an app and I would never recommend it to anyone. I would like my money back asap. I completely hated this app, it has tons of lag and the ip at the bottom is small, also for the size, the ip switches between the two too fast. Why not just use 1 ip? Please give me a refund on this app.

Great app
I love this app I use it on my iPad to watch what my surroundings are from my iPod touch 5g in a different area of the household. Worth the price.
One thing to work on is that the app crashes on my iPod and stops the live stream, also, there is about a 30 second delay for me on good wifi so not super live stream.
But a very useful app
;)

Works for a little whiles
Ok, it works fine at first, but later, the app on my iPod closes after a short while and I cannot view the camera. I have to reopen the app to get it going again and again, it's an ip camera app for crying out loud and it won't stay on.
Bad
It would be fine if it didn't crash every time after about 30 mins or so. Completely worthless. Don't waste your money.
Works fine
...Even outside that LAN as long as your firewall permits and your ports are routed properly. It would be nice if it could work without WiFi over the cellular network as well.
Limited
Does not work outside your network. Works great as long as you are on same network. This means you can't get to it if you are away from your home.
Unreliable
Crashes after just a few minutes, makes it useless because u need to go back to your "spy" cam to restart the app again, and again.
iPod touch spy camera app
Simple app that does what they say it does. Could be useful in many ways.
Bad reviews are undeserving
The app does what it's supposed to. It turns your iDevice into a remote camera and it can either stream live video, or take surveillance camera style snapshots.
Those giving it bad reviews simply do not know how to configure their routers properly. If you do not know how to forward ports or have a rudimentary understanding of how computer networks function, maybe this app isn't for you. Those looking to use it on a home network should not need to do any extra configuration, though.
Since the app does not have motion detection, it's not quite what I'm looking for. It did crash a couple times, but I'm going to attribute that to iOS5 being only a few days old.

It works, but.....
It's not a continuous live streaming view. It takes pictures every few seconds and the browser constantly updates the view, so what your looking at is a series of snapshots. Therefore, it works as advertised, but I had hopes of using it as a baby monitor or doorbell cam, using my older iphones as the cameras. It seems like the developer is professional and makes good products...however this is not what I needed, so I took a chance with the $1.99 app. Sorry developer, its not what I wanted.
