Reviews for tinyCam Monitor

Unbelievably great stable app don't waste your time it's the best one on the Play Store immediately by the pro upgrade but whatever three or four dollars it is I've been using it for 3 or 4 years and gets better and better when he updates it it doesn't cost you anything you can't touch this good of program for thousands of dollars and all of those you have to pay monthly in addition to the equipment cost I run a home security system that works flawlessly no they didn't pay me to say this stuff

Great App! The Free Version is good enough for our needs we just use it to keep an eye on our two outside Cameras it works great on our Amazon Fire TV Stick we just keep it on at all times since we don't use our Dining Room TV much. You do have to Login to your Cameras if you have a Username and Password on the Cameras or it will eventually stop working so if your Cameras have a Username and Password be sure to Login using them or the Cameras will cut out or stop working after a period of time.

I searched for a while for one of these apps that would work with the variety of cameras that I have and had given up until I stumbled on this one searching for something completely unrelated. Super clean app, wide open compatibility, and have yet to have a single crash or freeze up of any kind. Really nice work!

Easy configuration. Automatic switching from wifi to remote IP address, nice feature! Nice widget for home screen for easy access to live stream. Easy to import / export. Only downside is that it doesn't access camera storage (SD) for playback. A QR code for sharing camera settings between apps would also be nice to have. Currently sharing using and xml file.

I had been using this for about a year now, was working fine but sometime around june / july i started getting random disconnects / error messages and would have to restart the app. P2P failed to start session (AV_ER_REMOTE_TIMEOUT_DISCONNECT) seems to be the latest and most common. I have 3 wyze cams, one v1, one v2 and one pan and they're all having the same issue so it can't be 3 different models with different firmware all experiencing the same issue. Has to be the app as well considering it used to work fine. Very much willing to work with the devs if they'd like logs or screenshots, just let me know as I would really like to have this working again.

Testing the free version, with promising results. Quite possibly my next purchase! Only difficulty is trying to get the app to switch automatically between home wifi ip and external ip when switching to mobile network. I tested the wifi and external mobile connections by exporting the camera settings, then importing the appropriate file for testing. Perhaps an optional setting to include the external ip in camera setups instead of relying on the app to "guess" the would be appropriate?

No product support Don't waste your time downloading this app and trying to set your cameras up. Their customer service replied once when I asked for help, but the response was nonsense. They didn't even read my question properly. After that I emailed half a dozen times over the course of the next 3 weeks. No responses, no product support, no streaming for any of my cameras. Utter garbage app with a joke of a customer service effort.

Great little app. I have various ipcams from different manufacturers dotted around my house keeping and eye on things. They're all cheap and cheerful and work fine, but they all have their own proprietary apps, which is a pain in the behind. I have been looking for and tested quite a few generic apps and this is the very first one which has managed to link to all my different cams with no fuss (or indeed at all). So impressed, I paid for the pro version, even though the free one does all I need.

Nice app, fairly easy to set up. The single problem that this app has is that it cannot identify my modem's UPnP. So without "Port Forwarding" I cannot view my camera's away from home. I need a fix. Also, is it normal to be able to only view one camera at a time? Update 03 Nov 2020: I cannot change the IP address in the app, so I cannot connect.

This is hands down the best cam/ip cam app available. The standard apps that were designed to be used with my cameras didn't have the functions, settings or capabilities that Tinycam has. I do have one complaint though. The username and password doesn't work. You can still download on another phone and not have to put in the password or username. That is bad. Other than that, it would be perfect. I even upgraded to pro and it's even better! Thanks guys

Idk if it's because I dont have tinycam pro but the app is constantly losing feed. My screen goes black and each camera says failed to connect by UID or p2p failed to start session. If it cant run 24/7 I'm not buying pro to record 24/7. If it can stream/record 24/7 day after day with no issues. I'll love it and give it 5 stars easy.

Seriously? What is this for again?? I opened my app and had cameras with a ton of different country names... No idea why. Confusing and no obvious way to set up cameras FOR MY FREAKING HOUSE. But really, I got so annoyed at a pop up which opened the ad when you click the 'x' to closeit... Because it's made so tiny that no human finger could realistically close it without opening the ad instead. Nice tactics, guys. I know you need those click pennies bad... *insert obligatory eyeroll*

Wyze verified view causing issues on wyze cameras, can't view events on cam plus cameras, needs to be fixed asap. Can't access wyze SD card playback on the tinycam app also the live feed for the cameras keeps going out, I am using this with the wyze v3 cameras.

Beware. This app will attempt to scam you by asking for your credit card details to 'verify your location'. This is completely unnecessary. It claims there will be no charge. However, at the bottom of the same page in the faintest of texts, it states- "By continuing, you accept our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. We offer a multimedia content service. Try it free for 3 days. After that, the subscription will cost you 39.99 GBP every 28 days" You have been warned.

The free version is better than the paid for version in my opinion. I bought the pro version many many years ago and have used it constantly since but I have now reverted to the free version even though my Pro licence is still valid. For whatever reason the pro version is broken, by this I mean that it is dropping between 98-100% of frames on a 2Mb stream (rendering it useless) whereas the free version is dropping no more than 8% of frames on the same stream.

Installed on 3 Sony Google TV's and an Nvidia Shield Pro. Navigating the app can be a little bit of a pain but it's an otherwise functional app to view cameras on the TV. A note to anyone setting up hikvision cameras: when you're ready to throw in the towel and just give up, disable stream encryption and try that rtsp stream one last time direct from the NVR. If you can pull the stream from VLC, it'll work on the TV. PTZ controls work, but they could stand to be refined.

If this is the best then I wont bother trying anything else. Might as well throw my camera away. Instructions (the ones I could find on the net as the app itself doesn't appear to have any) are terrible and it doesn't work properly. Found the camera ok but wouldn't accept the camera name and password I had just put in. Just kept cycling on the name and password page. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but the instructions are so poor I cant tell. I understand its a free app so wasn't really expecting much but even so, if you are putting something out there at least go to the trouble of putting decent instructions out as well.

In general, the features and settings are pretty good and customizable, almost approaching into perfect. However, the only thing cannot be used, is the 2-way speaking. When i press the mic button in a cam session, the button pressing animation ends in a second. If this can be resolved, then I'll be confident to buy the PRO version.

Decided to try out the app before I spent some money. I'm definitely surprised by the interface and quality. It was easily able to find the original smart plug wifi spy camera that NO OTHER APP COULD. It was also able to add one of my eufy cameras (2C) without problems. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that it said it would add doorbell cameras, but I didn't see any available. The app is far better than the one that was supplied (Camama). If I could add the other eufy, I would buy it

What an awesome job the dev has done on this! The free version is not stripped of the useful features, and the pro version really is for the pro users. The interface is clean and well laid out. Most importantly it works with a multitude of cameras. I even set it up in conjunction with ContaCam that's running on a PC in my home, enabling the monitoring of USB cameras! Edit* 7 years later and still the best! Just purchased pro just to say thanks. Thanks!
