### 1/5 — Very disappointed

*2025-12-27, version 3.9.2*

I’m very disappointed with these cameras that they won’t connect to my android phone bought four of them and on the box it’s says that it’s available on apple store or google play me and my husband tried it and it doesn’t work anymore

### 1/5 — App crashes, but "Guarding Vision" app is a workaround

*2025-11-24, version 3.9.2*

November 23, 2025 - The RCA Security app crashes when I attempt to access the live feed on my RCA smart doorbell. Based on a suggestion from another review, I was successfully able to use the app "Guarding Vision" with my RCA doorbell.

### 1/5 — Needs Updating

*2025-09-24, version 3.9.2*

This app needs to be updated. I can’t view the cameras anymore.

### 1/5 — App Closes by Itself

*2025-09-23, version 3.9.2*

The app doesn't work anymore for the new updated iOS. It just atomatically closes when trying to view cameras.

### 5/5 — RCA has been integrated into Guarding Vision

*2025-09-18, version 3.9.2*

Install RCA Security and Guarding Vision.
In RCA Security, create your account and password. Add all your cameras there, but do not attempt streaming, as the app will crash. Once all camera settings are configured in RCA, close the application—but do not uninstall it.

Next, open Guarding Vision and log in using the same username and password you set up in RCA Security. Step by step, add each of your cameras. Voilà!

I’ve noticed that if you rename your cameras in the RCA app, Guarding Vision automatically recognizes those updated settings.

Success—I currently have 8 fully functional cameras, with all features active.

### 1/5 — RCA down

*2025-08-21, version 3.9.2*

Have not been able to use RCA app for YEARS and there have been no updates to fix the issue for iOS users. For this I rate the app a 1 out of 5. 
However, 
I continue to come back here to see if a new update has been released or if any new “workaround” was found.

Thank you to all those who mentioned Guarding Vision. 

I am overjoyed to have tried GV. Works so much BETTER than the RCA app. 
Everyone who sees this message and installs GV should come back here and mention the GV app so it stays at the top for everyone to see. 
Very happy.

### 1/5 — Worse than expected

*2025-07-19, version 3.9.2*

I can’t even check video quality because as soon as I click on the camera the app crashes. 😂 What a joke.

### 1/5 — RCA door camera

*2025-07-03, version 3.9.2*

My RCA security App closes down every time I try to view a recorded video from my RCA door bell camera, and I can’t not view live video. Can someone please look at the problem n advise if it fixable or not .
Thank you

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2025-05-12, version 3.9.2*

App crashes whenever you click on the video feed.

### 1/5 — Dog water

*2025-05-07, version 3.9.2*

Horrendous hikvision cameras wrapped with an RCA logo, app hasn’t been updated in half a decade. Literal e-waste shovelware. It’s actually hilarious how bad this product is.
