User Reviews for Alfred Home Security Camera

Alfred App Stopped Saving Video “Events”

I have been using the Alfred app for a number of weeks with decent performance. Yesterday the Alfred app stopped saving video “Events”. I have closed and reopened the apps on both my camera device and my viewer device, but the problem persists. I can view the live feed from the camera device on my viewer device and motion detection is enabled, I see the recording icon appear on the live screen on the viewer device, but no new videos are being saved as “Events” for later replay. This is frustrating. Please help resolve this issue. Thank you. Also; I have tried to submit a report about this problem via the Alfred form, but it appears the reports are not being sent. I tried to do this both via the app and via the Alfred website portal to the form. How do I communicate directly with tech support for the Alfred app? The FAQs and troubleshooting tips have not been helpful and I would appreciate being able to communicate directly with a technical support person. Please kindly advise. Thank you.

DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME. FIND ANOTHER CAMERA APP.

I’ve used this app for a while, much longer than I should have. It CONSTANTLY has connectivity issues and the camera goes offline. This completely defeats the purpose of a camera, since you can’t get it back online remotely. They’ve told me before it was likely a network issue, but our network is perfectly fine, and strong. Currently, within the app, when checking the “camera status,” it says it’s online, “signed in successfully,” and “everything looks great!” However, the camera is NOT active. It is showing “This camera is offline.” It’s been doing this specifically for about a week now. When I got home from my last shift, I reset/turned off the app and phone, then set it all back up. It was working. Even recorded a couple motion clips (which usually NEVER works for more than a day after fixing everything). Then I get to work and the first time I try viewing the camera... this BS. I’m done with this app. I’m going back to Manything. I don’t remember near as many complications with that app. And it certainly recorded clips better, including just “sound” clips (if it’s dark and can’t pick up video). This is ridiculous and I feel like they’ve just become money hungry over time, making less options available for the free version, and more crashing.

It’s not as good as it was

I have used this app off and on for almost two years. I don’t like the recent upgrades that limited the amount of time movement is recorded. The app used to stop recording at a certain point and pick right back up because it defected there was still movement, not any more. The kids can leave the view of the camera, it stops recording but does not pick them back up when the walk back into the view of the camera, they made it through the living room into the kitchen. Both rooms are in the view. This was not just once, it’s a lot. Many times it will pick up a person walking in OR out of view BUT it dies not catch both. I have Alfred set up on a tablet that is next to the router and always plugged in charging, I’m not sure why I get logged out so often and it takes forever to get logged back in. The Alfred app was better and more reliable before all of these changes. I purchased a one month subscription to the premium for $3.99 to see if that makes a difference and restores the dependability of the app, so far I have to say it does Not. I have a 45 second recording, when I watched it, I found that it only recorded movement for 15 seconds, the rest of the recording was still frame, no movement at all. If I do not see dependability like it used to have I will start looking for another security app and cancel my premium subscription to Alfred. I am crossing my fingers, I liked the Alfred app.

Negative reviews are user error.

I needed a security camera up quickly to record possible issues on my property. Found this app and honestly didn’t expect much. I was SO pleasantly surprised. It honestly works as good if not better than $900 cameras I’ve had in retail locations. I immediately upgraded to premium for the extra features with no ads and it’s flawless. You get a short recording after movement but from what I understand if you have ‘continuous recording’ on, it will save an 8 hour loop onto your phone in the case that you need to have the longer video. You can then reference the shorter clips for time stamps. Any issues people are having are 100% device, settings, or network related. Truly can’t say enough how happy I am that this works the way it does. Great work guys!

Great for pet sitting

I love this app so much and am so happy I found it. My wife and I were wondering about the best way to keep an eye on our lil puppy while we’re at work and make sure he’s not barking or whining all day. We were looking into buying cameras or expensive pet monitoring equipment when we found the app Alfred. We were able to use our tablets we normally leave at home to easily monitor our little pup for free. We can always see how he is doing from our phones and even talk through the microphone to calm him down or just to check in before we get home. The night mode feature helps us tremendously since he is a black lab and hard to spot sometimes. The app also lets us swap through accounts easily to switch our viewing tablets and lets us know our battery percentage at all times. I’d highly recommend Alfred to anyone with a need to monitor their pet. Also, the motion detection feature along with instant notifications to your phone make it a solid choice for baby and house monitoring as well.

Stops Recording Way Too Early

The app is ok but kind of useless as it stops recording after it’s triggered by motion way way to early to be effective at any kind of surveillance. There should be an option for the user to choose minimum recording time after motion triggers start recording or at very least, let it keep recording for 30 seconds after the last motion was detected. Reply to developer: Notifications are great but when you get 900 notifications in 5 minutes, they become pointless. For security, having a longer recording of things that may be suspect is far far more important than having a ton of notifications. Can the cops use notifications to catch a bad guy who broke in to your house? Nope! But they can use a video of the offender or crime! If the video is cut extremely short and doesn’t capture most of the criminal activity, then what good is the app doing for security! You have to understand priorities of law, especially when you market this app as a security monitor. Point being, notifications are far far less important than actual video of potential offenders/offenses. Especially when 90% or more of the notifications are false alarms triggered by birds or passing cars etc.

Best cctv spare phone app

I love this app. It does not lag at all. When I say not at all I mean it’s two time video and audio. All the others I tried on iPhones have a few second delay among many other issues but Alfred is the best by far. It offers everything I need or want including notifications and motion detection as well as real time video and audio. I only have one small teeny tiny complaint that I wish would be available. I would love to see the battery life on my viewing screen of the phone that I’m using for a camera just incase I don’t have a charger hooked up. Other than that flush all the others bc this ones the best. To the developers thank you so much for a great free app not to even mention the affordable upgrades with even more options. Keep up the great work!!!!

Love this app and service!

I haven’t had hardly any trouble with the app or the service. The only thing I wish it did was allow you to share cameras and give those you share cameras with full admin control over said cameras. So, if my wife is annoyed by constant notifications she has to text me and turn off the motion detection. Also, I never get reminders to turn the motion detection on or iff depending on whether I am home or not. I thought that was a free feature. Over all, I am super satisfied with Alfred. One question—why the app name change?!? DIY CCTV is really boring branding TBH. One more thing—there needs to be a way to turn of “phone is not charging” warnings. I am getting them repeatedly and all of them are not necessary. I need one and then I need another when the battery gets to 50 another at 20 and maybe start to nag me at 5%. But there is no reason to bug me every minute or so when I know the phone is plugged in and I am at work. Plus it usually stops charging until the battery level actually drops. Then it starts charging again.

I love Alred!! It works!

I really love Alfred because it works! I started by using cheap iPhone 5s’s a year ago and it’s worked like magic. I was honestly surprised. The first few months I started I got problems and needed to keep fixing the app but gradually over 6 months the app got better and better and it’s nearly 98% reliable. Now sometimes I can go weeks without touching my iPhone cam and it will let me view and won’t glitch . I can leave my house for weeks and alred will be on. I love how speedy fast the notifications are. Super super super fast. And the quality is amazing. The iPhones have the best cameras in the world so if u buy a really good iPhone like an iPhone 7 or 8 you could get mega HD pics of the suspect even better than professional security cameras I really love Alfred because lately the app has been working flawless and I been getting notifications within a second and it’s stayed online and hasn’t crashed as long as I use guided access really excited to see it advance along the way it only gets better from here. I love Alfred keep it up
