I just downloaded the app and was able to connect from the second try. First used my DynDNS URL but was not able to connect. Then I used the ip address and it connects right away. Will check the URL later and will give 5 stars if it works. Haven't checked the audio yet. So far this was the only app I got that can control the camera movement and settings. I have tried 5 others before: or nothing or the picture only.
I've had this app for years. Every time I switch phones, or my phone updates, there's a new issue with the app. Some get solved, others just annoy me daily. I have to force stop the app daily because it isn't responding or the speaker takes over a minute to come on, if it comes on at all. The app is ok but it requires patience.
The only issue I have is that the audio is loud or soft randomly for no apparent reason. Sometimes I open the app and it's super quiet, sometimes it's nice and loud. There's no rhyme or reason to it. Also, even though I have it set to keep on audio when leaving the app, it cuts off quite frequently....meaning I have to constantly turn on the screen just to hear audio. I have several 'background audio' apps, and this is the only one that doesn't work.
Works perfect on my Samsung S5 but on my Samsung Tab 3 I made a mistake on the ip address it could not find the camera but did find my other camera no problem. I try and change my mistake but no icon for the content menu. I have looked and pushed ever icon I can find but no success. Some help would be greatly appreciated. There is no icon for the context menu you mention.
Foscam had a first party app and they completely broke it. I looked for alternatives and found dozens of apps with different names that was the same exact app (scam). Then I found this. This app is fantastic. It does everything I want, has unintrusive ads plus a premium option. THANK YOU.
I've used this app for my Foscam for a few months now, it is simple and easy to use and set up. Keep in mind that "buggy" and "in a place with a low wi-fi signal" are 2 different things. Low signals make the controls jumpy, just the nature of the beast. My only complaint is the audio lag. It increases over time and is easily reset by toggling speaker on and off, but overnight can be off by about 10 seconds. Love seeing the camera feed on my watch!
This app is phenomenal! I have some Foscam FI9821 V2 cameras, and I've tried a bunch of different apps before I finally found this one. This app was extremely easy to setup, and the connection the the camera was fast and responsive, even on a slower network like a 3G network. The user interface is clean and intuitive. I really like the virtual joystick for controlling pan/tilt, none of other apps I tried have that nifty feature. This is app is so awesome and easy to use that made the in-app purchase to get rid of the ads, and support the developer, within 10 minutes of setting up all my cameras. Totally worth $3. Thank you, SoratSoft, for making such a fantastic app.
If it's stable will be a great app of all. I tried many similar apps none of them works only this one can connect to my cameras from different makers. Only issue is it freezes and no response randomly. Otherwise this app is the best.
I have 5 cameras. 1 Winbook from micro center and 4 kaicong. Audio works with the micro center branded one but not the kaicong. Pan and tilt works great on the 4 kaicong cams that have this feature. Patrolling does not work on the kaicong cameras either. I would pay for it if I could use all the features with all my cams. This app needs an update. Issues with android 7.0. Freezes upon opening and have to wait to use pan/tilt or switching cameras for about a minute. Some force closes as well.
Worked great with my older foscams. Doesn't work with new HD cameras. Moved onto other IP cam app that work with HD cameras no problem.
Apparently constantly freezes. Other than that it has the features of a top app. Please fix and I will upgrade the rating. Currently using another app
Zero response from support how to add second camera/additional settings for both on and off home network. Pretty useless when I have to change settings each time to see camera depending if I'm on home WiFi or not... gotta be better apps out there!!
Tring to set it up but dont know where to find the port number (required for connection setting) of the camera. I am using it with wireless connection
Sometimes works and sometimes doesn't work at all.. it works everywhere else but not on this app for some reason. Horrible app.. very unreliable.
Gone from 4 stars to 1 to get developers attention. App frequently crashes or stop responding. Controls are laggy. Pixel 2 XL.
Great app, been using it for years. However, its in desperate need for Android 7.0 (Nougat) support. App lags, freezes and the camera moving joystick becomes unresponsive when being run on 7.0. Please fix soon & I'll gladly switch to a 5* review.
I hope it gets fix soon so I don't have to find a new app.
Works fine in single cam view but crashes when you go to 4 cam split screen view.
Tried 20 apps since Foscam broke (and removed audio) from there official apps update: on Nexus 6p it crashes often
Good; however, small problem. After using mic to speak to someone then terminating the app, microphone for Google won't work. Requires phone restart. More noticeable indicator for speaker and mic would be nice enhancement, too.
It use to be a decent app, but now, it's junk. Works when it wants to work, takes forever for the sound and mic to engage, if at all. When trying to scan area, it just freezes.
I put my ip in, no port number. I put in 80 & it wont even connect. Sad
In description it says view camera's from anywhere. Doesn't work outside my house. I need it for when I'm away
When I go into multi camera view it keeps crashing. Using Samsung 6S
Controls for app seem to stick/hang on Marshmallow 6.0 (Nexus 6p). App keeps freezing and prompts show up to shut down hanging app. Please check. Thanks.
After trying many apps. This one fully works with my vstarcam F series. Both the audio and motion work perfectly
With the new feature for smart watches this app just blew my mind. So cool I can see my IP cameras from my watch!
I eventually worked out that it needs the http port rather than rtsp or onvif, but then all I can get is a still. No ptz functionality. Using a vstarcam c33-x4. If there's something I can do to get this to work, please let me know!
