IP Camera Viewer - IPCams Reviews

Got IPCameraViewer and I’m relatively good at setting stuff up. This threw me for a loop. Tried many different versions of the settings and was able to see the website for my camera. I had to go thru GitHub to be able to contact the developer, but he responded very quickly. Have a couple of suggestions for a fix and it worked great. I don’t think this was any fault of IPCameraViewer , just weird settings, but he said he will address the issue in further updates.

Overall, a great app that I can sync across my Apple devices. A++

I love IPCameraViewer. It has never crashed on me, i can zoom in on the video. Easy to use. It allows me to setup cameras for free. I would like to purchase IPCameraViewer to see one more camera, but i have to pay a monthly fee or $35! This seems quite steep for an app that has no server interaction or cloud storage. I would quite happily pay $10 and own it for one more camera. I think they are losing money overall because of this.

I’ve got a security camera system from Ubiquiti, with a dozen cameras, and the Unifi Protect app is great, but it does not allow users to create nice tiled, multi-camera views (their web UI does, but that doesn’t work on mobile). The system does, however, support RTSP streams, so IPCameraViewer is perfect. I simply added 4 cameras using their RTSP stream, created a dashboard and entered full-screen mode. BAM! Multi-camera view. Great job, does exactly what I wanted (but couldn’t do with my Unifi app).

Tried a lot of rstp apps. Most were pretty bad. This one works for a variety of rstp cameras (Unifi, Samsung, Hikvision). The dashboard is clean and simple. The 3D Touch shortcuts are great. Was surprised by how good IPCameraViewer is. Only suggestion to developer is to make the number of cameras on the dashboard customizable. I usually only need 3. Also have more than one dashboard would be nice. Also, would totally pay a couple bucks for this. Great job.

It seems buggy. It has frozen on me a couple times when I tap around too fast. Streams sometimes show other camera especially when changing from portrait to landscape. It feels like it is way too easy to tap a camera to open the full view when I might’ve just touched the screen on accident.

Now it does do what I want and it does work. And when it works as intended it is great and it is fast. Would just like to see IPCameraViewer more stable. Would definitely upgrade if it gets to that point because it loads the eufy and Wyze cams quick. Reolink is meh but that isn’t really IPCameraViewer , that’s kinda normal. I’m sure other cameras would load quick too.

TL;DR
Am I happy? Mostly. Is it unusable? No. Is it well polished? No. Is it fast to load? Yes. Would I upgrade? Yes: if stabilized.

This is now my go to surveillance cam on iOS. It is getting better with every update. I love that it uses a modern user interface unlike basically all other cam apps. It is also way faster loading the initial frames of the video streams than any other app. I currently have 9 Hikvision cameras working with this.

Added 3 Hikvision MJPEG streams. Works great, really appreciate the reload button for when the stream fails to load (happens a lot with Hikvision cams for some reason). Dashboard is excellent. Would knock off a 1/2 star for IPCameraViewer reloading the stream when changing to and from full screen, but I still like it so I decided to round up 😬👍

I have two Phylink cameras, but their app is no longer supported.

With IPCameraViewer, I could use the HLS setting to stream from the camera. The RTSP setting worked on my old iPhone, but not my iPhone 12, which is why I went to HLS.

For Phylink cameras, the URL to use is under the Stream Settings and the URL ends with .m3u8 for HLS.

My webcam didn’t work via ONVIF with PTZ at first. I reached out to the developer who helped me collect logs and pushed a new version out that fixed my issue. This is also one of the few IOS webcam apps that doesn’t collect personal info or track you. Highly recommend.

I have a few IP cameras around that I’m using with a Raspberry Pi to for motion detection. IPCameraViewer gives quick and easy access to all my cameras. I particularly like the Dashboard view which is a quick overview all at once. IPCameraViewer does just what it says and just what it needs to do! Thanks for creating such a simple and useful tool :)

I have multiple rtsp cameras working, the reviews are WRONG. Works very well everytime!!!

Just set up 5 cameras in less time than the OEM App took.
Looks to me like the update made a day ago was useful. IPCameraViewer is faster and displays better resolution than the old App it replaces that (vanished) from A Store.

I needed a simple app to view an MJPEG stream and this does it. Easy to setup and it launches quickly to check on the feed. The only thing I wish it had was a full screen button.

I keep having to re-select my launch shortcut, being viewing one of my dashboard views. Could be due to the iCloud sync of settings not being done properly? In any case it seriously detracts from the ease of use of IPCameraViewer. Please fix asap!

I cannot get my cameras to pull up. I have tried everything. They are sercomm iCamera2. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hope to hear from you soon.

This is an amazing app. It is very easy to use. There are no ads, and the best part is its free! The developer even takes and implements feature requests!

Perfect for viewing camera streams, I am using it with my Lorex system. It’s quite bare-bones but that is almost a feature in of itself. Works with RTSP now.

App was very intuitive and easy to setup. Can see all my home cameras laying in my bed at night on my iPad. Awesome.

Efforts are not really good to the max but it’s very addictive and fun to play with friends always play with ya wanna eat it all over here

Works well with my IP cams, just find the IP in your network map, select rtsp in the cam setup in IPCameraViewer , and use MainStream path for HD or SubStream path for SD. EZ PZ setup.
