### 1/5 — Bildqualität extrem schlecht

*2023-01-28*

Bildqualität entspricht nicht der normalen Kamera.

Im dunkeln ist die App nicht zu gebrauchen

### 4/5 — Limited to 1920x1080

*2023-01-08*

Works great save for the resolution limitation.

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2022-10-19*

No user support anywhere to be found.  App requires you to download another app for forum support that does not exist. Apple how can you all thisPOS?

### 1/5 — 頻繁に落ちる

*2022-06-11*

前は良かったですが、何ヶ月前から使えない程
毎日落ちてる。朝出かける前に作動させ、1〜3時間の間、ほぼ95%の確率で落ちる。原因不明。非常に残念。

### 1/5 — Only 15 FPS!

*2022-06-09*

It only goes up to 15 FPS!

### 4/5 — Works well, but

*2020-10-19*

Installation, configuration and usage is super straightforward. However the only thing missing is an option to use higher quality levels than 1920x1080. I know the camera on the newer phones is able to take 4K footage if only at a slow fps

### 2/5 — Very good - Works well :)

*2018-03-27*

This is so close to a 5 star app and to be fair it does do what the developer claims, and does it well. Well worth downloading.
Big thanks to the developer. 
The main reason for not getting 5 stars is because of the auto rotation  feature, and the inability to switch it off. Very few camera viewer applications are able handle aspect ratio changes on the fly so this feature could also be classed as a bug that renders this app unusable in the real world. Using a mobile phone as a camera source is because we need it to be mobile :)

### 5/5 — Works great with Zoneminder

*2017-10-28, version 1.1.3*

Had an old iPhone 5 I wanted to add to my Zoneminder system.   This worked great.  Just need to add /video.mjpg as remote host path.   Also recommend adding an ID and password.  

I set it to largest size which gave me a 1920x1080 image in ZM.  

Just the app I was looking for!

### 4/5 — Only one issue.

*2017-06-17*

I sat down for hours trying to figure out the best way to set up my iPhone and iPad as wireless cameras for a twitch stream.  I had heard of a couple of $5 apps, and was willing to pay to make this work.  I found that every app I had come across was difficult.  You had to install software on the computer, and it was really unreliable.. crashing, showing blank video, or locking up completely.  Getting the stream set up each time would require loading up multiple programs, and resetting my scene.  (Each of these apps only allowed one device)  

I almost didn't jump in on this app because it was paid only.  They should offer a free stamped/low quality version to try out.. but that's not the issue I had with it.  This app is browser based, and because each device is given a link based off its IP, you can have multiple websites.  You have a decent amount of settings you can play with for video feed quality, and once you set up your scene for the first time, all you have to do is launch the app on the devices and they automatically pulled up on the stream.  Fantastic.  

My issue:  There is no way to lock or set orientation to landscape.  If you tilt the phone sideways it will go to landscape, but if you try to set the phone flat, or even remotely close to flat, it will pop back to portrait.  And there's nothing on the phone itself that shows whether it's portrait or landscape. I had to open the website and watch.  I'm trying to do an overhead shot of a table, and this may not work for it if I can't figure this out or dev doesn't fix this issue.  Maybe I can portrait lock it and see if I can manually turn the video feed in twitch 90 degrees.. that's another day I suppose.  

Thanks for a great app.

### 5/5 — Excellent tool!

*2016-11-01*

Does not require any additional software on the browser.  Flexible enough for any stream capture client.  Exactly what I was looking for.
