Key Functions 8/10

As it was already mentioned, IP Camera is for professional usage, so you should have appropriate knowledge of video and audio formats to understand how it goes.

Its main function is receiving a signal from authorized cameras, which are connected to your home or corporate network. It also can use web-cameras as a surveillance camera device. Developers made this app to consume as low data and drive memory as possible, so video recording starts only when a motion is detected. All due to the advanced Motion Detection technology. Unfortunately, you can’t adjust any alerts to be informed about any strange motions. It also lacks police call hotkey or home safety system integration. Settings allow you to set your OneDrive as a stream receiver. It means that all recordings are totally secure, because no one has access to delete them.

In addition to that, it supports Bi-directional audio, UPnP port forwarding, full IPv6 capability. Recording tool is suitable for MJPEG and ONVIF formats. At the same time, playback feature runs RTSP and RTMP protocols. Surprisingly, any connected camera is allowed to be used for video broadcasting on YouTube and Facebook.

New devices and IP camera servers may be added via QR-code scanner, that is built into the application. You can also get access to servers on other devices using WAN url. This feature provides convenient remote control of active cameras.

Security 10/10

However, as soon as you want to save recordings into OneDrive, you have to authorize application in your Microsoft account. The same goes for YouTube and Facebook broadcasting. No security issues reports have been posted so far.
