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 :) ### 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. ### 3/5 — Good exempt for Port bug *2016-07-27* Simple to set up and use for an internal network but not quite ready for Internet access. The port bug means it always reverts to port 80 no matter what it was set to; image size goes tiny/small/huge skipping the more common 1280x760 option. Good options regards the types of feed. On the request list would be an option to ftp image to a site would be good, along with an option to overlay more than just the date. ### 2/5 — Not for neweriPhones *2016-03-25* Works well with the old iPhone 3GS. With the iPhone 5S a picture is shown in the browser, big the Buttons Options and Advanced are not accessible. ### 2/5 — Doesn't work with iOS 9.2 *2015-12-27, version 1.0.1* Worked great before iOS 9. Upgraded to iOS 9.2 and ipcam will no longer load. Totally useless. Needs an update or a refund. ### 3/5 — App indispensable pour vos iTrucs *2015-09-06* Vous avez un viel iPhone, avec un écran cassé par exemple ? Et il peut encore vous servir! Associé à un serveur de vidéo comme un diskstation, ça fonctionne très bien. Par contre l'application mériterait largement d'être mise a jour pour être compatible avec les derniers iOS 5, 6 ou 7 !!! Certains boutons ne sont même plus visibles. Merci à vous ### 1/5 — I Can't Believe I Didn't Read the Reviews First! *2014-05-30* What a joke! I always go by the reviews before I buy, and I got my head crossed with another app and made the mistake of buying this one. Don't even think about it! This is junk! Go for IP Cam Pro. Just like it sneaks in the wording, this one has only the flash control from the web interface. But I will say for those of you complaining about getting the 404 bla bla bla error, it's because you need to change the /80 in the address bar back to a :80 when you try to reload the page. Because of the developer's reported lack of interest yet the app is still up for sale for idiots like me to buy, the developer is on my personal black list. They can write all the top-notch apps they want from here on out, and I won't buy a thing from SKJM, LLC. ### 1/5 — Not icamsource. Need a computer *2014-05-10, version 1.0.1* Avoid this app if you are expecting this ipcam to work like ipcamsource. Ipcam is only useful for if you have a computer without a camera. Ipcam must be connected to a computer to work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bildqualität extrem schlecht *2023-01-28* Bildqualität entspricht nicht der normalen Kamera. Im dunkeln ist die App nicht zu gebrauchen ### 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! ### 1/5 — A SCAM *2016-01-25, version 1.0.1* I have tried to make this work as advertised with its parent product iCamSource Pro on two separate and completely open local networks. It just plain does not work. It's a scam. Save your money. ### 1/5 — outdated *2015-09-16, version 1.0.1* if you’re considering buying this: don’t! the last update to it was 4 years ago. it crashes immediately upon startup. obsolete apps like this should be forcibly removed from the app store and the developer should be forced to return any money he received beyond a certain point in time. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2015-01-18, version 1.0.1* How do I get my money back? This app is complete garbage, don't waste your money. I can't adjust the settings or even connect to the video. ### 1/5 — 開けない *2014-10-21* 開けない。 対策はよ。 ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2014-10-20, version 1.0.1* When I open the app it shuts down right away!!! ### 1/5 — App DOES NOT WORK as advertised *2014-07-26, version 1.0.1* Downloaded icam on one iPhone and ipcam on another iPhone and they cannot connect together without a computer as ipcam source ? That is ridiculous. Some of us have moved on from dinosaur technology and do not use pc's anymore. I would like a full refund please ASAP? Waste of my hard earned money. And no support at all from company. Pure garbage App. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 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. ### 5/5 — OS9 *2015-09-20* iOS9にアップデートしてから、頻繁に落ちます！改善お願いします♥️ あとのサービスは、他のやつとは比べ物にならないくらい良いです！ これからも期待してます！ よろしこ〜 ### 5/5 — 残念！ *2015-02-03* iOS8では動かなくなった 是非、対応してもらいたいです。 ### 5/5 — Works: can see iPad camera image on my iPhone Safari browser via LTE *2014-09-07, version 1.0.1* The app worked immediate for local network but it took me some time to figure out how to get my comcast xfinity router modem to forward a port number. The video feed still didn't work even though canyouseeme.org showed the port number is not blocked, but fortunately it works now after I rebooted my router modem. I can now see my iPad mini live video feed in my iPhone Safari browser while on LTE network. ### 5/5 — Works perfectly *2014-05-15* You may need to do some tinkering, but this does work as advertised. I'm able to stream the video and capture it via another application. You could also use this to view video via the web interface which is simple and easy. To view outside of your LAN you probably need to set an open port and enable port forwarding on your router. Very satisfied ### 5/5 — ipCam *2014-02-19, version 1.0.1* This app works as advertised for me. My iPhone 4 works thru my att router to my iMac via WiFi. The app opened up displayed the router IP address. I typed the router IP address into the Safari browser, and it was working. ### 5/5 — Abandonware, but it works *2014-01-07* This hasn’t been updated for many years and doesn’t support the iPhone 5 screen size or even properly support exiting the app and going back into it where you left off. It does however work really reliably and for extended periods. I’ve had an iPod 4 acting as a security camera for weeks with no intervention. ### 5/5 — Klasse App. *2013-09-03* Genau das was ich gesucht habe. Sinnvoll wäre es allerdings wenn man das Display ausschalten könnte während die App läuft. Ansonsten spitze und jeden Cent Wert. ### 5/5 — Up and running in ten minutes from the download. *2013-08-28* Only took ten minutes to get this up and running, using it for a number of things from keeping an eye on my pets at night, wondering what they were doing while I was sleeping. There are endless uses for this, totally satisfied. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
