Ratings and Reviews
Problem with captured files
Generally, this has been a good tool for quickly accessing my security spy server both remotely and from the sofa.
My biggest issue has been playing back and viewing captures files. I continuously capture all my cameras 24-7 with a new file starting every hour on the hour. However, when I go to review captured files from the app, I can only view the first 4m 45 seconds of the video. That’s not helpful if I’m looking for an event that occurred later in the hour. Sometimes I’ll receive an alert that motion was detected, but I’ll need to wait until I can access the server directly to be able to see the recordings. This is really frustrating and stressful if I suspect something needs my attention immediately.
Remember, this is just a viewer
I've used Security Spy to protect my house for about 8 years, with no problems whatsoever. It's stable, and the developer continues to make incremental improvements and updates. Unlike "point and shoot" consumer products, this program allows a wide range of controls over video streaming and recording formats. The downside is that if you're like me you're going to fiddle around and make things worse while you're getting your at-home degree in video engineering!
This iOS app is simply a handy way to check your cameras in real time, and to view or download whatever recordings Security Spy has made. I suspect most of the problems other reviewers have encountered are from bandwidth limitations, the limited graphics capabilities of older iPads, or simply asking too much from this accessory. If one needs remote access to the full capabilities of Security Spy, use a Remote Desktop solution, of which there are many.
Keeps getting worse with each of the
The playback on SecuritySpy keeps getting worse each update. I have owned a copy of this since 2020 you used to be able to do visual scrubbing on the computer and now you can’t do that. That really brought things down because finding details it became very hard now the app is getting the same way. This latest update the claims to improve stuff is absolutely the worst you can only got five seconds at a time and when you have 24 hours to go through it’s painstaking. Especially because you can only go five seconds forward and not back and there is no visual fingers scrubbing as there was before. I thought t for this guy. We are after spending a lot of money on this and spending a lot of time learning it. We are new because he’s not listening to what people want.
