Zmview
Why is this still on the App Store? It doesn’t work at all, there is no help and it took my money for the pro version that doesn’t appear to do anything.
How do I get my money back?
How do I get my money back?
Does this even work?
I tried connecting. Looks like it connects or finds the server but nothing happens just look like it’s loading the video and freezes
As of 20/08/2020 seems not to work
This app is not working with the current version of ZoneMinder to save you wasting time on it
Rarely works
On the odd occasion this app works, the browsing through recordings is clumsy and you can't see the time date stamps as they get truncated due to lack of space. It's incredibly slow and most of the time it just doesn't work. It won't load the images at all when you click on a recording for example. There is no scroll bar to quickly scroll down to 20 recordings ago. They are listed in pages and you have to click next page or previous page not knowing what time any of the recordings on the page were taken. Unbelievable. I don't know how something so poorly designed and executed can even get in the app store? Half the time it crashes and a hard re start doesn't always make it work.

Video feed does not work
Unable to view video feed in any view, which makes this app completely useless. I’m using a freshly installed ZM 13.2.2 & video feeds work via the web interface but not through this app.
Videos does not show
Connects, shows events but does not display the videos. I’m running ZM 1.32.2
Is this going to be fixed?
Is this going to be fixed?
Nothing
Connects to zm server. Finds cameras. That's it. No video on any camera
Doesn’t Work
Doesn’t work at all, set everything up but you can’t do anything once you have a server added. Pretty much a useless app taking up space.
How long before this works again?
I used to like this... but with current versions of Zoneminder it’s as much use as a chocolate coffee pot!
Frustrating
Too much on screen obscuring the stuff you actually want to look at. Between the ads taking up the top of the screen and the large buttons for the other cameras on the bottom, you can barely see anything
Cannot get it to work
Anyone been able to make it work ?
Work few days later no work
Work fine later no work more
Video steam not working anymore
Use to work fine but now suddenly longer streams video from my security cameras. Complete reinstall of Zoneminder on a different server did not solve issue either.
Works but issues with server load.
Dont get me wrong. Its always good when an app does what is advertised and just works out of the box. I downloaded it put in my url and bam....there were my 6 monitors. Even more impressive because my server is not at /zm (nor is it on standard ports80/443) which also changes the path to everything after that including the api directory. Interface is pretty basic and simple but I like that. Im also a developer and understand the hassles with displaying video from several sources and several sizes too.
Ok. That was the developer talking but I'm also a sysadmin. If you are an end user you may not be aware of this side of things. Viewing a single monitor brings up the rest of them in thumbnails. Because of this you are basically doing a montage regardless of wether you view a single monitor or a montage itself. A ZM video stream is sent to your browser/app as a full sized frames and the app handles sizing. You can change that btw at the server but even set like this to reduce server load, as soon as I open a single monitor my server load doubles. A "w" on my server showed load at .49/.49/.53. Within 1 or 2 minutes that went to 1.20/.78/.60. More than double actually. W, for those that may not know, gibes you system load averages over 1/5/15 minute intervals in most nix type OS's. Just going back without closing the app all the way didn't stop the load. Going to a different app or multitasking does disconnect the streams and the load went down at that point. Im just one user. Sending this to several office employees or a security team would require some serious resources and a pretty beefy server. A single view should be a single view. At least an option. Its well known that montage hammers the server and bandwidth. If you don't have some pretty decent hardware behind this (like ur workstation at home is doubling as you zm nvr) then I would use this app sparingly. At high load zm can do crazy stuff like miss events or create false ones because it could read the whole frame before the next arrived.
The end user in me likes it other than where the ads are places in the free version...at the top of the video covering the top 20% or so:(
Overall I'm not displeased just not doing cartwheels;) I didn't uninstall it.

Never worked
Never worked and I paid money for it.
broken for zoneminder 1.30.4
just upgraded our server to 1.30.4 and now zmView no longer displays any streams (stuck on the loading wheel)
Does not work with latest zoneminder
Got the latest version of zoneminder installed and running but when try and view the camera just get a spinning icon and never loads the camera feed.
Don't work
I've been using it for years but it stopped working recently. I can see a list of cameras but I cannot see video. I'm going to switch to zmNinja.
No Longer Works
Has stopped working again since ZOneminder was updated to 1.30.4
Is there a plan to fix it?
I understand a release could be buggy but not working at all and not hearing back from developers is really disappointing and lack of professionalism.
