User Reviews for HomeCam for HomeKit

Woot! Better than the Logitech app! Live baby!!

Just set up sone Logitech circle 2 cameras to keep an eye on our place. Best HomeKit camera I’ve found - BUT - the app is kinda meh. Even HomeKit isn’t exactly awesome for taking a quick peek at things. But then as I was setting up homerun (BTW also an awesome app!) I saw the “also by this developer” thing and immediately bought it!So far, so awesome! I can now quickly pull up ALL 4 of my cameras on one screen, and see the live feed. The Logitech app shows a still from the last time you viewed the camera. It’s nice, but it’s not LIVE as soon as you launch. So kudos for a great app! Keep the HomeKit love coming!!!

Today Widget Rocks!

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.

Great App

The last update made the difference for me. I was about to give up. But now my Arlo Cameras work PERFECTLY. I wanted something to give me a continuous live feed simply. The Arlo app is is an administrator tool not a very good Cam console. This fills the gap perfectly. My cams would not display all at once. The app couldn’t maintain all cams. Updated the other day now PERFECT! Thank you for a minimalistic app that gets the job done. Great job!

Has great potential...

Has great potential... to be our primary Cam monitor.This app works great on the LAN, with both iOS and TVOS. An excellent tool for monitoring all our cams from our home office while working.It is however buggy when connecting remotely, at least with all our LogiCircle Cams. Apparently due to limitations imposed by Apple. Because the App tries to connect to all cams at once and Apple only allows for 2 cam connections when accessing remotely, the cams not connected to initially are unavailable when accessing remotely.For now, for remote monitoring we still have to rely on the native LogiCircle app which pulls connections through their cloud ... or the Apple Home App which, through an Apple Hub (TV or HomePod) provides a snapshot of all the cams until you connect to each one individually for a live vieThe developer, is quick to respond to issues and is working on an update that claims will solve the remote access issues.Looking forward to the update.

Logitech Circle View

I don’t doubt the home app is great but my experience with the logitech circle view camera is I just about 100% negative. The camera is so finicky and goes off-line so often that I feel like I spent $160 and got nothing in return. The camera worked fine for several weeks and now all of a sudden after restarting and reloading and updating it just will not connect it remains off-line it has been off-line for two weeks. Other reviewer‘s of this camera have the same complaint its biggest fault is it goes off-line.

Great app! Just missing one thing in my opinion

This is a great app that solved the one problem I had, which is needing to view multiple cameras at once. If I had one feature I wish this app had, I wish I could select audio from a camera while looking at the group. For instance my screen is showing all me cameras live and I wish I could select the audio from my baby monitor camera without having to only view that camera.

Solved my “window” use case

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 addition to HomeKit!

I use this app 24/7! It is indispensable to us. All of my HomeKit AND HomeBridge Cameras in one place. As far as I can tell if my camera supports audio or 2 way audio then HomeCam supports it along with showing lights in those locations as well! This is my whole Home monitor in one and with an iPad or Apple TV I can see everywhere all at once in a single display! Thank you SO much dev, as I have seen great strides with the development of this App and I understand it is kind of just a hobby for you. Thank you for putting your time into this!I have one request that could make it much better. Hope it’s simple. Make the touch targets a little larger for the volume in the all cameras view. I have a hard time turning the volume on/off without it going into that camera specifically. Thanks!!!

Very Limited!

All this does is allow you to view your cameras in one spot, rather than having to scroll through them on the Home app on Apple TV (via HomeKit). However, it’s named “HomeCam for HomeKit.” That sounds great when you’ve just ordered four deterrence cameras through Apple Store. However, what you need to know, but the app developer doesn’t tell you, is that HomeKit does not allow two-way audio. This is why you BRIEFLY see the microphone button before it disappears on ANY IOS device you’re using. HomeKit also doesn’t allow you to turn on the camera’s floodlight. All you can do is view and listen to all of your cameras in one spot (well, five cameras because that’s Apple’s limit), rather than scrolling through them on Apple TV or opening them individually in the Home app. This limitation by Apple isn’t the app developer’s fault, except that the app developer calls it, “HomeCam for HomeKit” and doesn’t tell you when you purchase the $4.99 app that the money you poured into the deterrence cameras you purchased will turn them into surveillance cameras only. If you want to use the deterrence features on your cameras, do not buy this app or use HomeKit - just use the app that the camera manufacturer provides.

Perfect Apple TV app for HomeKit cams

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.
