This worked… for about 5 minutes. After that, the app stopped uploading the files to Dropbox, so it’s now completely useless. I’ve tried every setting, and nothing seems to remedy the problem. Don’t buy this app unless you want to waste your $10. And I NEVER write reviews.
It worked just fine before BigSur, dropbox and everyting, now it just sit there "<initializing>." I'm out 10 bucks!
Don't waste your money on this app. Used to work fine. Very disappointing.
so sad, used to work very well
lost password they never answered me to help retrive it they suckl!!!!!
This would be a better app if you could control a few of the options, like where to save the video files, being able to program what time of day the app will start and stop recording. You should also have to option to record with motion detection this is the only one that does not!. The only good thing about this app is that it runs in the background undetected… if they would polish this app and make it more user friendly and better option control it would be a fantastic app, but as is, it needs MAJOR updates…. DEFINATELY not worth 10 dollars!!!
This app helped us catch a snooping neighbor that we had suspected was breaking into our place when we went out of town. Well it did and he had to face the cops. No more of that!!! The only thing that needs to be changed is the ability to get a better video quality. We almost werent able to prove who broke in but luckily he got really close to my laptop so the graininess wasnt so bad the cops couldnt use the video. Please increase video quality on the next update. Also being able to change the location files are saved would be awesome too.
I have it to where it takes continuous video because there are people in the building 24/7, but ever since this last update, it hasn’t been working properly at night. I come in and have to stop it and then restart it so it will resume recording video. The app says it’s recording, but it’s not. I really wish I could go back to the previous version. It was great. This one is awful.
Overall, I really like this app. Sure, it could potentially have more features, but I’m generally happy with what it does. My largest concern is that, for whatever reason, sometimes it stops recording even though it says “RECORDING” in big, red letters. It’s unreliable as to when or why it does this, so I can’t depend on it to be a consistent source for a security cam, unfortunately. Hopefully that will be fixed, but other than that I like what it does.
What they mean by "App can be hidden from users..." they mean the window can be hidden. You still see this spy logo with the name SPY CAM hitting your face if someone uses your computer and looks at any running application. You also see the camera light on when recoring. Not worth it unless you have a laptop and hide it behind a wall.
As far as setting time intervals to record, recording length, etc, it does the job. However, the main purpose of a “spy cam” is to be concealed. Not only is the app visible in the menu bar when activated, but the green cameral light also pops up when it’s recording. Kind of defeats the point.
Great for home security Excellent app which lets me use my Mac to watch my house so I don't have to but an expensive security system.
