Great app, been using it for years as a nursery camera. So much better than everything else. Feature idea: have a toggle when volume is muted to show a visual representation of sound. Be pretty cool if this was a subtle wave form across the screen so you can see noise over last few seconds. Dont think it would be that difficult to code. Should flash with loud noises. Maybe also screen dims with low noise and brightens with loud noise. You'd be the best nursery app out there.
Works far better than the official Foscam app and it's quicker. Very simple/slick UI. Setup is super easy and it automates some of the configuration. But it's not as feature rich. No fingerprint authentication, no way to perform firmware updates or sync the date/time. Hopefully some of these features will come with time and I can then get rid if the official Foscam app.
I just setup my dLink Cams 5min. ago. It was easy and streams are working. But every time i start the App it pops up 'Need your wifi info' -> 'No wifi name found' when i chose 'understand' it starts 'Looking for cameras', when i chose 'try again' it closes the popup. Most of the times the videos don't show, always have to tap to retry or close and restart the App then videos show immediately. (after the popups ofc) With dLink you can have a viewer only account. this doesn't work with this app, so you have to login as admin. Also you cant change that login after the cam is setup. Also there is no Audio streaming. What i liked most is that i can switch the night/day modes. But that's about it. /Android4.4/DCS932
Super easy to use webcam app. Does everything we need in a simple way. Only request would be to add fingerprint authentication to open the app and a way to move the ptz controls (or hide them). Thanks for all the hard work
Found 1 of my cameras easy enough, and the setup for this camera was very easy . Could not find my off brand camera even with manual setup. What I do not like is that U have to pay to receive motion alerts. So if U didnt know, NOW U do !
Updated yesterday, 11/17/18 and since that update my cameras sit on the "configuring camera" screen and don't get past that. When connecting they get found, shows the image before you put name and info in but on the main screen just says configuring camera and I can't click on them.
I'm still unable to add more than 1 camera even with March 9 update; when I add my 2nd camera, it overwrites the 1st camera I added. If I add another camera, it will again overwrite whichever camera that was last added. Possibly an incompatibility issue with Android 10?
Downloaded this version because the Foscam Owlr stopped working and replies said the issue was fixed on this one - NOPE, neither Owlr Version believes my phone is connected to my WiFi and so neither can find or connect to my cameras. DOES NOT WORK.
Paid the monthly subscription for push alerts for movement. Rarely ever worked. Contacted support and they were useless. Now, unless I'm on the same floor as the cameras they say "no internet connection". Also if you are in a camera, not in the overview, it freezes
does not support multiple cameras i tried a dlink and foscam. i know the ip addresses added them as soon an 1 is added and i add the other the 1st cam goed away from the menu i need to run both of your apps to make them both work just toggling the apps to view.
Very easy and intuitive to use. I wish that the program included a NVR Reader, as I have not being able to find one to work with Foscam NVR.
This app doesn't seem to think I'm connected to my wifi. Well, since I am, it's broken. I've tried both 2.4g and 5g WiFi routers, but no go. Since I suspect it won't work with my Ring brand camera doorbell I'll just uninstall...
After android 10 update on original pixel xl, it says there isnt an internet connection and none of the streams will show. Great app and only doing this review in hopes that it will get fixed soon.
Doesn't work. Maybe it's set to look at a default port number where my cams use different port numbers. Whatever, no option to change it - delete.
I've had to install and uninstall this app several times. if it wasn't so intermittent working this would be an excellent app and would earn 5 stars easily. also would help if it could support other iP camera's like mometum.
Less than useless. 4 ip cameras on network app found none. Tells me check wifi. Tried 5gh and 2.5. none of cameras are wifi anyway. Connect via ethernet cables. They are all active can see on pc. Deleting
Very practical, especially if you go on trips. Although wished it had some other features such as talking through the microphone.
Strait to the point and simplest set up no data to imput mostly automatic.the functionality is great, as you have real time interfacing with your cameras.
Doesn't push notifications for motion. Asked them multiple times - did not respond. Had the old app and was 45 seconds off for notifications. Garbage.
OWLR is great at controlling my old cameras that were abandoned by Insteon! OWLR does it much better too! Thank you.
The App has been working great for over 5 years. Was easy to set up. Using a Foscam camera.
I have the Foscam version which I am happy with. Got a new camera, not a Foscam. Found this app, got excited. Installed it, did not notice any change from the Foscam app but the different color. It does not even support ONVIF. Utterly useless.
Easy to set up and just works. One issue seems to be that it only works with admin logins on our foscam. Going to try one last time with an operator login.
The last update broke adding new cameras. It always get stuck on the home screen show "configuring camera". This happens on both dlink and foscam cameras that have worked with owlr before the Dec update
This is my first time writing a review on an app. But this is an awful app! I have several cameras connected and they constantly say "difficulty with connecting to the camera". I have to disconnect and reconnect them for it to work and half the time that doesn't even fix the issue. Then I was having trouble adding more than 1 camera at a time as when I would try to add a new camera it would wipe away the other camera. Seriously a very frustrating app! I just want to be able to watch my cameras!!
