User reviews

No PTZ

Requires pro to have the PTZ feature! 👎

This is what you’re looking for

Easy to install, easy to add cameras, with a clean interface. I added this to AppleTV and Mac Mini.

An excellent, fully featured camera app

Easy to install, easy to view, packed with features

Good but could be better

Auto detection works great. Found all my cameras. Seems to be that all my images are clear and works with odd camera configuration cameras like Reolink Duo. Problem that they need to add is a format arrangement of the views on AppleTv. There is no clear way to do it. A simple hold click and arrange control seems like the next logical step to a simple problem.

Works but low res

It works pretty well, only issue is the video is blurry for some reason, despite being a high res stream. Also the UI is pretty awkward, there’s arrow buttons on the stream in app at all times, and it doesn’t respond to phone orientation
