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

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review - we really appreciate it. People usually say good things about our stream resolution - so it's concerning that a high res stream is being displayed blurry. Could you please email us your camera make and model so that we can look into this for you?The arrow buttons you mention are for quick navigation between different cameras and are functional only when you have more than one camera added. We appreciate the feedback and will definitely investigate how we can make the layout more intuitive and less obstructive. If you have any other feedback or suggestions, please reach out to us at info@camhero.app - we are always happy to hear from you! Best - Rex

Doesn’t work at all

Only works when connected to the same WiFi

Response from developer

Thank you for your review - and sorry that we didn't meet your expectations. Cam Hero is primarily designed to work locally, when both the app and the camera are connected to the same network. This ensures fast, private streaming without requiring an internet connection. To view your cameras remotely, we offer a "Remote Viewing" feature inside the app, with the requirement that you use a second device running Cam Hero as a hub (second device must to connected to same network as the cameras). Another option is to configure port forwarding directly on your camera or NVR hardware (or use a free VPN like Tailscale) and use Cam Hero as usual to view your cameras when away. If you have any questions, please shoot us an e-mail at info@camhero.app and we would love to help you get setup. Have a nice day - Rex

Needs to be a Apple M1

Needs to be a Mac with Apple M1. Buying a Apple M1 computer and your subscription does not justify the price. Very sad about it as it looked really promising.

Worked on my old cameras

I could connect to my old cameras and use them again. Like that there is an AI feature which automatically detects motion and records a video

Buena interfaz

Funcionó muy bien con una cámara Tp-link y la aplicación está en Apple TV así que pude poner la cámara en la pantalla de mi casa.

Waste of time

I have 16 cameras attached to an NVR. When I add the NVR it only shows me the first camera. I can’t see the cameras directly because the NVR is hiding them behind a bridge. Total waste of time.

A great app with even better support!

I’ve been testing several apps to tile 4 or more RTSP camera streams for display on our Apple TVs. My goal was to give my wife and babysitters an easy way to monitor our security cameras on the LAN — without needing to log into our camera management platform or fiddle with user accounts. Most apps either didn’t handle substreams well, lacked proper grid views, or had clunky interfaces.

Cam Hero stood out immediately. Not only does it look and function great, but it also worked reliably with our setup. I finally stopped searching and purchased the lifetime license — it just worked that well.

I did hit a bug initially (blank “My Cameras” screen with more than 4 cameras), but the developer, Rex, responded quickly, reproduced the issue, and rolled out a fix within a few days. That level of support is rare. Since then, the app’s been smooth and the 4x4 grid view is exactly what we needed.

I’ve even shared feedback and a feature suggestion and it’s clear the developer genuinely listens. That alone made the purchase worth it.

If you’re looking for a simple, polished, and actively supported way to view RTSP streams on Apple TV, iPhone and Mac; this is the one to get.

Tolles App!

Habe lange nach so einer App gesucht. Funktioniert einfach.

Clunky camera interface

No way to edit camera once it’s added. So something as simple as changing the name - nope can’t do it. If your camera settings change at all, in terms of port, url, etc., you would have to delete the camera in this app and re-add it with all the information again. Very user unfriendly.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! We completely agreed that editing camera settings was a pain — and we’re happy to share that a new version is now available with full camera edit support on macOS. Thanks again for helping shape Cam Hero with your input. If you have any more feedback or suggestions, feel free to reach out anytime at info@camhero.app.

Automatic

La detección de las cámaras son en automático y lo facilita mucho.

I assume the app is great

I have installed the app the UI looks better than the competitors but when I try and add my up camera manually or automatically thru lan search it says “Info” “error in adding camera”

Excellent Camera Viewer

I am enjoying this camera viewer so much. The developer has been wonderful to work with. I love being able to tap on one of the cameras when I see something going on. One is on my cats so I get to see what they are doing at all times. I have multiple cameras and this app supports them all. I would strongly recommend this app.

Great Camera Viewer

This is the best camera viewer that I’ve tried that allows you to see LIVE views of all of your cameras. You can watch all of your cameras LIVE and when something interesting happens on one, you just tap it and it fill the whole screen. VERY convenient. Very natural.

Response from developer

Dear User, Thank you so much for your review! Making it intuitive and convenient to monitor your cameras has always been our goal and we are delighted to hear that you are enjoying the experience. Your feedback means the world to us. If there’s ever anything we can do to make your experience even better, don’t hesitate to let us know. Thank you for choosing CamHero! Best, Raktim
