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.
