## Description

Athome Camera Pro:Monitor helps you repurpose old phones into a comprehensive home surveillance system.

## Review summary

Overall, basic live viewing and cross-device use work when the app functions, but frequent ads and paid features frustrate many users. The bigger issues are stability and connectivity: crashes after updates, the app failing to open or requiring reinstall, and cameras often appearing offline or disconnecting. Audio problems after iOS updates and unreliable night vision add to the trouble, and support is often unresponsive. These reliability and monetization problems drive users to seek alternatives despite a few positive reviews of fast streaming and remote monitoring when it does run well.

### Pros

- Basic features work in the free version, with only minor ads.
- Very fast live connection and streaming; quick to establish a link with cameras.
- Works across devices (iPhone and Mac) for remote monitoring.
- Ability to talk/listen during live view and monitor remotely (useful for checking on family/pets).
- Some reviewers report good performance and quick setup in earlier versions.

### Cons

- Heavy reliance on paid upgrades and ads; many users feel forced to purchase for basic features or cloud storage.
- App crashes or fails to open after updates; login issues or needing reinstall.
- Cameras frequently show offline or stream disconnects despite online status.
- Audio issues after iOS updates (e.g., loss of audio after iOS 26); night vision is unreliable.
- Poor customer support/unresponsive developers; issues often left unresolved.
