This is AWESOME!!!
When my $3000 NVR camera system died, I thought I was going to have to come up with some serious cash to replace it. I got online, and started looking at options. That’s when I stumbled across ZoneMinder. An open source NVR? That works with ONVIF cameras? That’s free? Nothing is free anymore, right? Well, it turns out to be one of the best finds EVER! Now don’t get me wrong… there’s definitely some learning you have to do, and I already had the computer, but this software is great! There’s a plethora of options, and you can customize it to suit your needs. I’ve had great success using my existing cameras, and this $5 app? It’s working out great as well! A sincere “thank you” to the developers at ZoneMinder. You guys saved me a TON of money, a BUNCH of hassle, and I think I actually came out better off in the end, as I have more options to set up and use my cameras without all the bloatware of store bought systems like the one I had before. Just be ready to read and learn a little. You’ll thank yourself looking back on the experience. Thanks again to the Developer(s)!

App has end of life notice
I was following some documentation on ZoneMinder and found a reference to this app. I was really excited and didn’t mind the $5 price. It was money thrown away because the app has an end of life notice and does it seem to work with my ZoneMinder v1.37.65. While I can get the app to log into my ZM machine and do get a list of my monitors, I can’t seem to get an image, video, or event list. Using the web page from my iPhone works just fine; I was hoping for the better interface of this app. Disappointed. Unless there is an update for the app that is newer than 2024, I would not recommend this app.

doesn’t work, api error, the troubleshooting suggestions did not help
Doesn't work with hi res cameras. Buggy overall
Seems like it needs a lot of updates. The webui in safari works better for me. An app like this should be smoother and offer better functionality compared to using a browser. Especially when billed as "pro" with a $5 premium.
It works if you can figure it out…
I had to change the cgi path to serveraddress/cgi-bin-zm to get it to show streams.
Not recommended though unless you are a software developer and have time to mess with it.
