l love this app it's a good portable security camera. Please add an option to share live recordings with other devices.

Would be good but the zoom is incredibly annoying if you accidentally do it without realising. Most of my footage stuffed. Needs a lock of some sort. Or just allow disabling it altogether. Otherwise a decent app. Edit: Unable to disable pinch zoom due to an unfixed bug
