Love this app. When I get an alert on a cam via Home App I'm more inclined to pop HomeCam open. It's super fast, acquires all my video feeds more or less instantly, and has just the right amount of settings customization to make it adapt to my needs without feeling like a chore to set up. Highly recommended for any HomeKit user with cams.
I wanted a window in my home office. I installed eufy cameras to HomeKit, and set my Apple TV to view through Home. But it kept losing connection, restarting home on Apple TV 3 times always got it back, but it happened many times in a workday. HomeCam solved the problem, and the live view is faster (cars driving by are less jumpy). HomeCam also displays the battery life. So now I have a “window” in my home office.
Great app but I really wish I could customize the camera layouts in the dashboard a bit more than the default layout.
On the Appletv version the is not an option to select and change the home
I have this installed on an iPad, iPhone, and Apple TV. Works pretty consistently across all platforms and has sufficient controls to manage what you see and what various sensors can tell you. I’ve been pretty satisfied to date and I’ve had this for about 6 months or more
This is an awesome application for viewing multiple cameras on one screen. I also like how you can customize it
I wanted to use this as an easy way to quickly monitor a camera on my watch. Unfortunately the aspect ratio of the video feed is way off and the entire video is shrunk into the upper half of my Apple Watch ultra when it actually works. On the iPhone, I can only get 5 of my 7 cameras to show a feed at one time. Not sure if this is due to iOS 16 and watchOS 9 or just a flaw of the app. It still works great on the Apple TV even on tvOS 16.
This app is nice and works well, but it would be a lot more useful if there were more control over automatically refreshing the camers (including an option to only do so manually).
This app would be more flexible and useful if there were a way to simply snapshot each camera instead of constantly cycling through live feeds. As it is, it’s a battery drain (on both ends) to use it in anything but short bursts.
This app would be more flexible and useful if there were a way to turn off auto cycle, or at least set a much longer interval for it.
This app is nice and works well, but it would be a lot more useful if the auto-refresh interval were more configurable (and able to be disabled).
I recently replaced my Arlo cameras with Eufy and use HomeKit to view/manage my system. The HomeCam Today Widget has worked flawlessly so far and this feature makes HomeCam a no brainer. Instant access to live feeds for all my cameras makes the whole system much more usable and useful. This is one of those Apps that provides seamless and essential functionality that Apple did not include in HomeKit.
I'm using this for my Eufy and Nest cam that I connected via Homebridge. I love the autocycle feature so now I need more cameras for outside. I know there's a auto reconnect feature but I wish I could manually reconnect also without closing and reopening the app. This is still better than the default Home app when it comes to cameras on the Apple TV.
Best app. Wish homekit didn’t limit to viewing 2 live while on non-local wifi I don’t know what I would do without this app
Love this app, it’s sleek, simple, and just works. Would be 5 star if I could hide the camera names on the screens. It becomes crowded and blocks visibility as I add more cameras. I couldn’t find a setting to hide it.
Best app. Wish homekit didn’t limit to viewing 2 live while on non-local wifi
This is a great, useful app. The only issue I have is that I'd like to be able to mute individual cameras on the Mac app (and/or have a setting so that the sound defaults to off when you view an individual camera).
Really wish it supported the new widget system. Not sure if that’s a system limitation. I know the old one was more powerful. But If doable that would be amazing even just screen shots that get updated ever so often would be amazing.
Cant fathom why this functionality is not built into the Home app. Would be nice if this app also worked with RTSP cameras. Have to check to see if this has been cross compiled for the Mac, fingers crossed!
Dev responds quick if you have questions. Solid app
Not terribly useful for iOS, unless you are dedicating an iPad to use this app, but this is amazing for Apple TV. Makes my baby monitor camera much more useful.
Just what I was looking for to view all my cameras on my iPhone and Apple TV
I have 4 cameras and the live view works perfectly while on WiFi on all 4 cameras. While I am on celular data, I can only view live stream on 2 of the 4 cameras.
Am i doing something wrong? Using arlo baby cam and i get sound on the phone but not on the tv
So glad I found this app! Great for viewing HomeKit cameras on watch or phone. Couldn’t be happier!
Nice price. Love the Apple TV app since Arlo went belly up. BUT, on the Arlo Ultras it is cutting all the spotlights on when I open the app on Apple TV. Thats the only reason for 3 stars. Hopefully a fix soon.
Connects faster, has Watch support. Great product.
Nice. One thing- wish it would remember the last settings for cycling through cameras so only a single push of the play button can start cycling i stead of selecting every time
Hopefully more support will come on both Anker and App side.
I loved the quick live feed of the older version. Things would move almost real time. The new version has noticeable jerky movement delay that misses things? What happened?
I use this for baby cam and after 10 minute the video is not live anymore. There are no indication that the video has stopped.
Wish it’s iPad app had rotating features for software under version 13, also on Apple TV there is no option to rotate between cameras.
My only other ask is the ability to zoom in on the camera feed.
Whether you want to monitor your HomeKit compatible cams from a tablet or TV, this app lets you see a matrix of cameras all at once like professional security systems. Even Apple has yet to offer anything so useful on all platforms.
I have been very impressed with this app. Easy to use and works really well. Just remember you need to have good WiFi signal to your cameras and this app will work great for you
I have multiple homes and multiple cameras, multiple users and every i* device. This allows me to see and monitor them all
Needs Picture In Picture Support on Apple TV’s
Love this app. Just saying hey Siri show me my cameras and it all being done automatically on my Apple TV is awesome. I’ve been wanting this feature for a while. Easily worth the $5 price tag.
It would be amazing if given the ability to add widgets into Home Screen instead of haven’t to go today widgets and scrolling passes all the widgets to get to the bottom to view cameras
A granted HomeKit access and can view my camera in Home app but it continues to prompt me. This app works on all my other iOS devices but not this iPad.
I keep changing the order of the cameras but they don’t stick.
I can see just one camera live the other one's said trouble connecting, but I can see the other one's home in the home app.
I got this for the today view widget but when I view the multiple cameras I set up, they almost always show the wrong camera and most often the same camera shows up on all the streams. Hopefully they get this bug fixed.
Barely works on iOS app and tvOS app doesn’t work at all. Worst 5 beans I’ve ever spent.
Just says either disconnecting or never connects.
