High hopes - but forced trial

Too Expensive

It’s a trap to get your money
Works OK, sucks it’s a sub.
Super flexibel, und es FUNKTIONIERT!
Legitimately great
L’app funziona bene ma non c’è il playback
Not for free use
Truly amazing for a mobile app
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.
