All camera streams are relayed by the home hub instance with a secure peer-to-peer connection between your devices.

Ratings and Reviews
A great app with even better support!
I’ve been testing several apps to tile 4 or more RTSP camera streams for display on our Apple TVs. My goal was to give my wife and babysitters an easy way to monitor our security cameras on the LAN — without needing to log into our camera management platform or fiddle with user accounts. Most apps either didn’t handle substreams well, lacked proper grid views, or had clunky interfaces.
Cam Hero stood out immediately. Not only does it look and function great, but it also worked reliably with our setup. I finally stopped searching and purchased the lifetime license — it just worked that well.
I did hit a bug initially (blank “My Cameras” screen with more than 4 cameras), but the developer, Rex, responded quickly, reproduced the issue, and rolled out a fix within a few days. That level of support is rare. Since then, the app’s been smooth and the 4x4 grid view is exactly what we needed.
I’ve even shared feedback and a feature suggestion and it’s clear the developer genuinely listens. That alone made the purchase worth it.
If you’re looking for a simple, polished, and actively supported way to view RTSP streams on Apple TV, iPhone and Mac; this is the one to get.
Excellent Camera Viewer
I am enjoying this camera viewer so much. The developer has been wonderful to work with. I love being able to tap on one of the cameras when I see something going on. One is on my cats so I get to see what they are doing at all times. I have multiple cameras and this app supports them all. I would strongly recommend this app.
Great Camera Viewer
This is the best camera viewer that I’ve tried that allows you to see LIVE views of all of your cameras. You can watch all of your cameras LIVE and when something interesting happens on one, you just tap it and it fill the whole screen. VERY convenient. Very natural.
