Legitimately great
Truly great app. If you have some POE cameras, or generic IP cams that advertise an address over your network and you don’t want to buy a cheapo NVR from the store, this is the app to get. I also use SecuritySpy on Mac, which is also awesome, and I think this app could replace SecuritySpy for the times when you don’t have a spare Mac or don’t want to buy a Mac since IPCams only needs something like an Apple TV to act as a hub. I love seeing powerful apps like this run completely with mobile hardware.

L’app funziona bene ma non c’è il playback
Tutto bene ma manca il playback inoltre non c’è modo di contattare l’assistenza per capire il motivo di tale mancanza.
Not for free use
I’ve been using the free version; each and every update seems to reduce the capability for non-subscribers. I get it, developers like to get paid. But updates continually reduce the number of cameras that can be used, and I’m afraid to update again fearing that I won’t get any use at all. It’s a shame, because it’s a good app.

Truly amazing for a mobile app
I work in construction and part of the work we do is running ethernet everywhere and installing POE cameras. Now, the usual solution is something like an off-the-shelf NVR from Lorex or other.
However, it’s 2026, and NVRs and the software they ship with are no longer acceptable, so I started looking into apps I could run on either a Mac or Apple TV.
The obvious solution on Mac is SecuritySpy, which is an awesome app. However, SS becomes expensive if you have to install a Mac at every job since it’s a hardware licensed app, not account based.
IPCams, however, really does compete with SS in most ways. It’s Apple ID based so you can use it with any Apple hardware where you’re signed in and you only need an Apple TV, which is way less expensive than a Mac (works great on Mac, too). It’s also a simpler UI, which makes sense for iPhone/iPad, and that’s a definite upside. Additionally, it stores to iCloud so you don’t need to pay for a separate mechanical storage drive (that will probably fail anyway).
This app really is a no-brainer for people who need a system to monitor their house or a simple business. It’s very affordable and very easy to set up.

Forces trial subscription
You must accept a 1 week trial subscription to use this app. Too scammy for me. Report this to apple as bait and switch
