2021-12-05	Michael Phelan	Works very well except poor visibility at night. Audio allows hearing in distant rooms remotely. Tablet app version has option to select a limited area, such as a door or window, to trigger alert, so you aren't notified every time the cat walks by, for example. Connection with home wireless Internet was easy. Update 4 years later: It often does not record motion. It might record a bird shadow in the driveway but not someone walking there. When it does record, the recorded events last only 10 seconds or less, but the recording starts 6 seconds before motion is visible in the recording. So, if someone enters the view, you see them 6 seconds into the recording for only about 3 seconds at the end. Functionalities seem to change from time to time. In one camera I used to be able to select the detection area, but it isn't there anymore. I used to be able to open the recorded Event windows larger, but now when I expand the window, I can't view the event. Update Dec. 4, 2021. Ivideon support responded to my complaint and helped me to access the camera's micro-SD card recordings online. Their support people were fast and helpful, 24/7.

One of very few that are cross-platform AND will work behind a CG NAT. Only complaint? Cloud subscription prices might be a bit too high for the average home/hobby user. That being said, the free version (while having limits) is very usable and does not seem to have any crippled functionality.
2020-08-05	Kiril Nedev	Used to be the best app. I was using it for more than a year... now out of a sudden they started asking for money, and it's quite a lot of money... will look for some replacement. I would be happy to pay some reasonable one time fee for local recording, or monthly for cloud rec, but $250 per year for 4 cameras where i will record them locally.. oh come on. I bought an NVR with 4 cameras, android app and 1tb HDD for half that... and i paid once...
2020-08-01	Todd Madar	Pricing plan changed a few days ago...now I cannot even access from within my own network from my phone (other than the single free camera). Looked at the plan pricing, and it is WAY too high for my budget. Maybe if they offered $5 to $10 a month with access to 5 to 10 cameras I could do it...otherwise I will be looking for a new solution. Sorry you had to change things up so drastically.
2020-07-31	Scott Peterson	I have used the server for years loved it. Worked with almost everything I tried. The only drawback was if you wanted more than 24 hours back you had to pay. Now they limited it to only one camera for free and you have to pay even if your using your own drive space to store recordings. Their are other free options that offer way more now. Thanks for making you application useless for 90% of the world because your greedy.
2020-07-07	Brian Clark	The app works well. however, to have any benefit other than using a single camera, you get to pay a high fee. Fpr instance, I have 5 cameras. They charge MINIMUM $5/mo per CAMERA! If it was a flat rate, ie $10 a month for up to, say 6 or 10 cameras, it would be a great service. But $25/mo for my small setup for the cheapest package?? Way too pricey.
2020-05-25	David Boucher	I have been using Ivideon for a couple year now with 6 dLink IP cameras. I store the recordings local and it works great. I can view my cameras and recording on the web or on an Android app 24/7. I recently had an issue with an update and asked for help from support through email. They contacted me back quickly, trouble shot my issue and solved my problem. They followed up later to make sure everything was still going okay. I'm all about customer service, so IVIDEON gets a 5 start rating!
2020-03-27	A Google user	So far so good! Installed server on a little I5 machine in my basement. Cameras went right in, configuration was super easy. Pretty awesome that there's a free option, not many companies offer this today. I don't necessarily need the pay solution at the moment, but I may in the future. Everything works seamlessly on all platforms too which is awesome. I install enterprise level camera systems for a living, this is perfect for those not needing all the bells and whistles...it just works!
2020-02-28	A Google user	App works great!Event notifications let me know when my son is awake or is moving in his crib. I recently changed phones and when I downloaded the app again it wasn't working. The support team spent a couple of weeks going back and forth trying to work out what was the problem with the notifications not coming up. In the end they were able to give me a version of the app that works and I couldn't be happier😊 I will say I feel a voice feature would really make this app five stars!!
2019-07-19	A Google user	Great platform for keeping tabs on my dogs and house while I'm away. Also works great as a baby monitor. The motion and sound alerts to my phone are super helpful. This app, the server, and the Windows 10 viewer app are all solid and have not crashed once in the few years I've been using it. The pricetag is great too, especially if you've already got a bunch of webcams laying around.
