I am still very satisfied, its a great app, thank you for the updates that you release. I would recommend to anyone, it is so simple to setup and if you have unused phones they can be re purposed for this.
Reviews for Security Camera CZ
← Back to Security Camera CZDoes a good job of isolating detection areas easily. I live on a moderately busy street and was able to change settings to go from 100+ notifications to about 10 per day by tightly defining the detection area.
Doesn't work as expected... probably the worst app I've seen in years. The interface is not user-friendly. I pretended to be a novice programmer, or... a person who believes that he is a genius IT specialist, deliberately doing it so that it would not be clear to the average user.
it's not bad but it could be slightly better. You can receive motion detection clips 24/7. But the live feed only stays up for 10 mins? I've also ran into many issues trying to use outside videoplayers and still can't get one to work...its very basic.
It's a fine app, I really like that I can view it from anywhere and in 720p 30fps. The interface is really simple and the app functions very well! But I wish it had a 'playback' feature like on Alfred because motion detection is not consistent and I wish it recorded at a higher fps than 4 fps.
The random 'crash' I'm experiencing seems to be an android issue since the app seems to only be able to access my camera when it is the forgetting app, and Android seems to want to switch to the desktop for random reasons.. (probably while network switching.. see previous edits for more info) you get bumped up to 5 stars. Excellent job with this app. Love it!
So far I'm really impressed. I have a question about backups to Google Drive. When granting access to Google drive the program appears to request access to the entire drive? Is this correct? Edit- You respond faster than most places I pay for service 😂 You should update the app to be free for 30 days and then one time $4.99. Either that or share your cash app and I'd be happy to send you some bucks! Thanks again! 10 stars!
wow, this app is so good compared to others like Alfred for example. I wish I could adjust the alarm volume, I can see it automatically shifting the phone's volume bar up to max when the alarm sounds after I've lowered it down to a low level. this seems like an easy fix. thanks. 👍😊🙏❤️
Will not stay connected to camera, I have tried everything. I have the fastest internet available, I have removed battery saving options, everything you can think of and the app still crashes when I try to connect to live feed. That being said, after closing the app and reopening all of the events begin downloading. Just can't watch live feed.
It's free.. but with ADs .. not as many as it could be to be annoyed by.. but it's tolerable.. but it's FREE and I've been using it for a week now . There's been one time where the motion sensor didn't activate to record while away from home but other then that I haven't had any other problems with it .. it's been very reliable.. App even alerts you when your Camera recording device battery is low.. I believe it starts to alert you when it reaches 50% .. so 👍 I approve this APP. ✌️
Ever since new update, the camera will go dark. Have done everything, uninstalled, reinstalled, got the latest version, not optimized battery, it won't work like it used to. It will connect, but the audio & video will drop off & go to black screen only. It will only restart if the camera is turned on & off MANUALLY, which is problematic, considering that the camera is in another location from where I am. Have tried to turn it on and turn it off remotely, But that will NOT work. Still stays Dark.
Can you please make it where an ad doesn't pop up immediately after you get a notification saying motion detected and you can't check your live feed or recorded video until after you're done watching the ad? Horrible time for an ad and very nerve wracking. But would be cool if you had a split screen to watch front and rear at the same time. I use in a living room window to watch my dad and to check the driveway. Would be incredibly cool not to have two separate phones at once in the same place
I have struggled to make this system work for the last year with three cel cams in an off-grid subtropical situation using data connection. One or more of the cams would always go offline after a couple of days. Tried many configs and finally found what works. Now, with one cam as wifi hotspot for the other two cams, having found a more reliable cel provider, the system has been on with no problems for the last two weeks. And that is without the 3.8 update yet. Great app. Thanks, Daniel!
Problems: 1.Doesn't display anything on the camera device while recording. Blank and unchanging. I want people to know they are being recorded (as on Alfred Camera). 2. Stopped recording things after a while. Don't know why. Poor documentation. 3. Never got notifications although turned on. 4. Apparently all the motion is recorded in one long file (or one per day). I want to see separate motion events and be able to view them. Would need major effort to get it working. #1 is dealbreaker.
For some reason I cannot access toclive view in my cameras, connection? Good, router? Good, battery? Good, everything perfect even using the latest phone and when I try to see the cameras the screen is black and I cannot see anything, even pay premium, contact customer support and basically told me: TURN OFF YOUR PHONE AND TURN IT ON, I WAS WHAT? NO HELP!!! sad that I pay premium but I found ALFRED APP and works great!!!!
I love your app! I've been using it for over 2 years to keep watch over stuff. Recently, I've had a little trouble though. I have a Samsung galaxy s9+ and a Samsung note9 and recently I cannot view the live feed from my camera(s). It doesn't matter which phone is the camera, when I try to view the live feed, I only get a black screen. Motion detection still takes still-frame shots that i can view. Also, turning motion detection off after 3000 images sucks, can you get rid of it?
Works great! I had 2 older smartphones that were sitting in a drawer that now work as motion detecting cameras! I get alerts on another phone when motion is detected. It allows you to set up the grid for better motion detection, as well as specify what areas of the grid to not detect motion in. Has scheduler abilities too so it doesn't run at night when the phone cameras are useless. It gives vital information like battery level, if a phone starts discharging (off charge), phone temperature. Allows you to put timestamps on the pictures. Another great feature is the live streaming of video and audio, and 2 way communication! Plus I can view the images or live stream from anywhere! Theres even a website so you can view the live stream on your PC! For a free app supporting by basic ads, this is very very very good! Good job!
Very good app. I think its great to be able to put older cell phones to use rather than E-Waste. The developer just did a major revision to 2.0, and all the minor glitches are gone. I think its the best "Bang for the Buck" you can find anywhere. I am currently using two phones for "cameras," and plan to add an outdoor one as soon as I can make a weatherproof housing. Awesome!
I tried many apps (I think 5 or 6 others). This one is the best. Reliable, easy to set up, surprisingly great quality. Being able to change the areas of movement detection (with really specific quadrants) is a nice touch . I have one on my window ledge to watch the front door/driveway and one to watch my pets while I'm gone. The only thing I wish I could change is zooming into specific areas instead of just zooming into the center. But definitely not a deal breaker for such a great free app.
Nice. A very pleasant app to use. No nasty surprises, only the good kind. For example... it was a bit cumbersome to turn off the camera remotely. Then, I accidentally swiped the camera image and found the shortcut! Also, I reduced the sensitivity to eliminate false triggers from shadows or reflections and that just works perfectly. Setting the detection area dialed it in even more. Save to Google Drive... nice! All free. Even though the ads are not obnoxious I'm buying the ad-free version soon.
