Without being a tech when it comes to computers,phones, and other electronic devices I managed to use this app to use my old galaxy s7 as a security camera with motion and sound detection that works markedly better than the Panasonic dedicated camera I paid $70 for. I'm amazed at the clarity of the picture I get with it. For the set up to be how i wanted it I simply adjusted the settings until it was set the way i needed it. Thank you Zuricate!
All is good and I love the app. However it seems to have some bugs. Sometimes my bluetooth sound is muted at the bluetooth device (speaker/car audio) . When this happens I simply open or close Zuricate a sound is instantly restored. I you don't have unlimited data, be careful you will eat up all your data very quickly. Over all for a free app, I love it . Running 4 Camara around my property.
Seems to be a great app, but the camera disconnects after some time on Android 11, maybe the system doesn't let it run in background for very long. You need to try different running in background strategy, like a Foreground service with a notification or ask for permission to paint over other apps. Hopefully you can resolve the issue soon!
App is perfect for indoor use or where a mains powered connection is available, and is pretty solidly built, stays online, in our use it has stayed online for over 12 days. Outdoor use is problematic but not impossible, power usage of the phone is only a c. 3 to 4 hours but with a 40amp battery bank we've brought that to 50 hours, and then rotate with a second pack. Perfect for getting intruders in remote locations or as a nature camera, far cheaper than buying a standalone gsm trail cam.
the app is working well, the only thing I would add for the options is a saturation mode to play with the low light environments. also the motion zones should be a yellow color Or any other color that you can see easily. since gray is the default option when the environment is dark you can barely see the areas you marked. thanks :)
Edited rating. Its quite good. Once the programmer responded to my concerns quickly i might add, i took thier suggestions on tweaking my app settings and the difference was very noticeable. Bufferring issues were resolved. There are no ads which is fantastic. Night vision would still be nice but for a free app i now have zero complaints
Zooming & lighting features aren't the best, but after trying several other apps, this is definately the best of the free apps. If'n the monthly fee for the paid service was around $2.99, I might be interested...hint, hint.
I'm using a USB UVC low light camera with a Dolamee D7 Android 8.1 TV box to see in near total darkness. (half moon or better you can see decent detail. Or use IR illuminator.) (use a UVC app to up the gain /exposure). Love the new recently added "Record while viewing live" feature. This app is in rapid development with cutting-edge features and I predict it will be an Alfie-killer.
Works on my Note 4 as Camera and S9+ as viewer. Doesn't work on my Note 2 - it starts up, then after a couple of seconds it exits. Would be better if you could direct local recording to an empty memory card, but cannot see a setting to do that.
Thank you so much for making this ad free! All the features come in handy and work great as long as the internet connection is good. I would recommend this to anyone for private or professional use. Or even paranormal investigators. Would be nice if the brightness could be adjusted under low light conditions. But I am still very happy to give this 5 stars because no other free app gives that out anyways.
The Niagara launcher was not the reason for camera mode crashes. The launcher is now active but several other apps were uninstalled instead, and Zuricate now works, switching front/back camera etc. without crashing. So something in the background was causing Zuricate instability.
I am downloading this application on my other devices right now it is so easy to use. The camera quality is topshelf even sending and receiving signals between devices no failures. Absolutely no problem with now 6 devices will be my new system with the Zuricate teams application its worked well for me over a year now.
Also there is no easy way to download the videos from the viewer side and sharing does not work. Makes it a real pain in the ass having to run all the way to the phone and extract the video file to process in photoshop to make out license plate numbers in those lucky events when a car sits still at the bottom of the slope to rev a few times before zooming off
Works really well, though it took a little while to learn to drive it. I had an old phone, on charge, up in the ceiling space, to check for possible possums. Now I know they are above the roof! Thanks for a great app.
I like this app, it's putting my old phone to good use, and it does some cool stuff. I only had an issue trying to share one of my recordings.. It said to download then downloading but wouldn't send in the actual msg. Also, I couldn't find where it was downloading to. .... still trying to figure this out.
Would be alot more stars cause I like it but there are times when it disconnects is self then I have to reconnect on the one phone works well for a while then doesn't reconnect the other end once in a while it doesn't record mostion detection but most of times does alright
This app has absolutely the most features I have found from a security camera app and it's ad free?!! Wow. Every feature seems to work flawlessly. I'm actually early shocked that this is a free app and I am very appreciative because I'm a single mother. I'm glad I kept my old cell phones! I'm still waiting for a catch LOL
Like this app but it does not keep the video or it does not keep the video long it disappears or delete itself. The voices doesn't come in clear. I need to keep videos to go over them. Other than that love the app
I've had this app for two days now I've got two phones with simply mobile network service okay I was in Dallas yesterday and I was able to do a live feed from a government provided what they call an Obama phone on my prepaid AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7...nuff said this app is legit... app highly suggested highly recommended no Wi-fi needed just to be able to use this all you need is idata connection such as your regular Mobile plan and it'll work the camera quality is as good as the camera you're usin
It refuses to accept the password I created 60 seconds ago. The reset option doesn't work, and there is literally ZERO support available. Don't waste your TIME. Uninstalling.
Mine didnt allow offline and would kick off and atop recording when i lost serivce. It didnt save my videos and didnt alert my other phone either. Wish it did tho not sure why it didnt. It sadly didnt work offline for me it stopper working
It's free. Sometimes alittle tricky to run, but it does, beautifully! Not sure how it runs with security.
*1 Was able to download/playback recordings. Now it shows there are recordings but cannot download/playback. It shows 0% downloading forever. Is this the monthly downloading quota restriction? *2 Would like to share the issues encountered: While at outside, viewer (mobile network) cannot connect to camera (WiFi network) at home. Only at home/office with WiFi network, viewer can connect to camera but cannot playback video. Tried apps: Athome, Alfred, Cawice, Secure Camera CZ and Dormi. All Ok.
I installed this app on my LG Stylo 5 and also on my LG Stylo 4 which is not in service but connected to the same Wi-Fi it absolutely did not work at all I tried using one at the camera and one has a monitor and vice versa absolutely did not work at all save your time move on to another app
I like the app it does pretty good but when I try to do the multi media it crashes I can't see all 3 of them at once on my cell phone I wish they had a website I could go to and maybe I could see all of them on the computer but I still like the app
Really nice and easy. Make sure that with the phone used as the viewer you click the gear icon on the cameras and turn off the auto flash!
Very good app, simple to use and efficient. I installed it on pixel 1 as camera and on pixel 4 as viewer. Worked perfectly.
I love it EXCEPT IT DOES NOT HAVE NIGHT. ISION. IT WOULD BE ALMOST PERFECT THEN.Alzo. you cant delete individual recordings. You ha e to delete all or none. Zucks ice you have fifty but only need to save one. Otherwise I LOVE THE SERVICE. NO RELIABILITY ISSUEZ AT ALL
So far so good. I will have to test the motion and sound detectors and such before I give 5 but easy to control and seems like a perfect cam app to protect your things or and family or keep and eye on the kids from the the other isroom
Finally, an app to convert your smart phone into a network camera that doesn't suck. PLUS it's FREE. -Easy as pie to set up (30 seconds for account and two installs of the app). -promised quality is there. -awesome functionality such as motivated n and sound detection activation. Auto recording, and the ability to keep it moderately secure. PROPS TO THE MAKERS IF THIS APP. enjoy the tip ;)
