### 2/5 — unable to establish FTP connection

*2026-08-11*

Screen captures, motion detection, configuration support, everything works really nice *except*: 

The component I needed to track activity like a webcam and store to FTP fails. The app absolutely cannot see the FTP server. FTP server logs suggest the app is using an older FTP stack that has been abandoned as the logs never see the IP Camera Pro trying to authenticate. I tried a few FTP servers and 2 PCs LAN-connected & 2 iPhones. “AI” took me thru 3 days of non-stop rabbit holes in a failed effort to resolve. I might know the GUI better than the developer, now.

### 4/5 — Great app and one request…

*2025-02-16*

Great app ! I only use the camera server mode for my needs.
When using this mode, would it be possible to add the possibility of adjusting the digital zoom level with the pinch gesture or with a slider ?

### 4/5 — 想知道怎么通过这个APP实现异地监控

*2025-01-21*

手机支持4k60录像但是APP里没有帧率切换选项只能切换分辨率
没有息屏监控
没光学防抖
其他感觉不错录音挺清楚的移动时的画面延迟也跟市面三五百监控差不多

### 4/5 — 能不能支持外接有线网卡

*2024-08-16*

有线网卡更稳定，能不能支持一下。感谢

### 4/5 — potential to be great, but!

*2024-07-15, version 11.0.5*

superb functions, but limited usability only when the screen is kept on. 
as soon as iphone display goes off, the camera disconnects, despite server it creates keeps working, so you only see black colour :-(
so, you either always keep the display on, or it will actually not work.
i assume it has something to do with apple access policies, but it would be essential to make it work with the display kept off. thanks for looking into this.

### 3/5 — Good IP camera server, needs more camera features

*2024-03-24*

I use this app to turn my iPad into a supplemental camera for live streaming public events. The camera is added as a source in wire cast, along with three other cameras.

My only complaint about this app is the lack of manual focus. The camera will auto focus several times a minute, and this can be very distracting. I want to be able to press on the screen to focus the camera on that spot.

### 3/5 — What does motion detection do ?

*2024-01-01*

I don’t see what motion detection does ?
Can someone tell me how to use it ?
I hope it allows for auto recording on motion.

### 3/5 — No low light support

*2023-10-15*

How about some low light conditions settings/controls?

### 3/5 — Great App - Broken by latest release

*2023-09-21*

Fails to start on all IOS devices after latest release.  Used to be great app while it worked

### 4/5 — 熄屏后台

*2023-04-08*

为什么不能熄屏后台

### 4/5 — Nice way to use your iPhone as a webcam

*2021-05-19*

Works great with OBS. Nice range of different configuration settings. I would like the ability to use 60fps as currently it maxes out at 30.

### 4/5 — Really nice App!

*2020-10-30*

It does most thinks as expected. It would be perfect if the viewer add’s some when onvif ptz support.

### 4/5 — 辛苦请教下肿么ftp填好后一点检测就闪退

*2020-10-28*

两个手机都是，是因为最新系统的原因吗

### 4/5 — Great! One question

*2020-09-21*

It would be great if there was a setting to send an http request when motion is detected.

This will allow better possibilities with homekit motion accessories using the “Homebridge Camera FFmpeg” plugin.

Please add the ability to send an http request when motion is detected.

### 1/5 — Disappointed…

*2026-07-20*

Lite version seemed OK and Pro version says it supports family sharing so I purchased the app only to find that I cannot download it onto my partners iPhone without paying. We have everything correctly configured and the website is not help, and the only option Apple offer is to request a refund or report fraud. Please fix it.

### 1/5 — Picture-In-Picture mode doesn’t work

*2026-05-21*

Because in the app, it is not treated like a video, but rather a segment of the screen which plays live video. Please fix this feature! It requires the PRO membership to activate it but then it stops working

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2024-10-14*

This app did not work on my iPhone 14+. Trying to connect to SecuritySpy server running on local network. the server sees the phone’s IP address, but cannot connect. Wasting an hour.

### 1/5 — jakość obrazu

*2023-12-03, version 10.9.0*

nie można zmienić streams

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing all the time not worth your money

*2023-09-22*

I’ve been robbed

### 1/5 — Crashes without opening

*2023-09-10*

Terrible app - don’t buy.  If the app even started I might have something to review.  Going to Apple to demand a refund.

### 1/5 — Schlecht! 👎🏻

*2021-06-01*

Ich habe 2 IP Kameras eingerichtet u dauerhaft zur Überwachung offen bzw. anzeigen.  

Diese App ist allerdings sowas von instabil, es gibt ständig Probleme! Es braucht 3 bis 4 Anläufe, damit überhaupt die Kamera öffnet, andernfalls schließt sie gleich wieder mit ner Fehlermeldung. Und wenn man dann endlich Zugriff hat, stürzt die Ansicht bzw. die Kamera immer in unterschiedlichen Intervallen ab u man befindet sich wieder in der Übersicht. 

Leider bin ich auf diese miserable App angewiesen, da man darüber auch aufnehmen kann.

Zum 🤮!!

### 1/5 — không kết nối. phí tiền

*2020-03-16, version 10.1.3*

không kết nối được onvif

### 1/5 — 画面延时非常严重，10秒左右

*2019-05-25*

pc连接摄像头之后这个延时在10秒左右，画面尺寸352*288。这么严重的延时你却不说。

### 1/5 — URLs not documented

*2019-01-02*

This is a nice app, has been working  very well via a web browser and very useful via another device running this app, you can listen in and press to talk to get you voice played out loud on the remote device, excellent for baby monitoring an the alike. Also can be used to live stream to Facebook, YouTube, Twitch and other services that support a RTMP, I tried it and it worked very well. 
Only problem with this app is, what are the URL’s for the camera feeds? The app shows the IP but not the full URLs that are required to work with IP camera software. For example I found ‘http://IP:Port/video’ works but without this properly documented the app is very limited. Still the best IP camera app available. I’ve played with all current streaming camera app’s I could find and this is the one I’m currently using.

### 5/5 — Love the app but it has problem

*2025-06-26, version 11.1.8*

Love the app and it works great. Almost…

I hope developer  will notice this review. So I have 2 iPhones running the app in IP camera server mode. It works great for several hours, but then at some point I can’t connect to cameras anymore. When I check the app on the phones - it still running seemingly normally, but when I try to connect from any other phone or from PC - it doesn’t connect. 

The only way to fix this is to “force-close” and restart the app on the phone, then it works again for next several hours until it again stops and you have to force close and restart the app again.

Really need it fixed, I can help with testing or provide any additional info if it will be helpful to find the reason of problem and get it fixed

Thanks!

Thanks to the developer for his work. RTSP cameras work perfectly. Very convenient !

### 5/5 — Super APP

*2022-05-20, version 10.6.8*

A good app could just go off the display so it doesn't take up as much battery.

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2020-11-15*

Easy to use and set up. Motion detection is perfect.

Could motion detection be added for use with ip camera feeds?

Keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — Great for using old iPhones as ip cameras

*2020-03-25*

I first used the free version and then was able to export my settings to this paid version of the app.  Overall this app is very flexible for converting iPhones into ip cameras.
