User Reviews

User reviews show a promising concept for a local wifi camera but consistently poor execution. The main pain points are ongoing connection problems (device/OBS), a subscription-first pricing model with limited or unclear trial options, and a confusing setup process that may require extra drivers. A few positives mention a working experience in rare cases and a lens-switching feature, but overall reliability and usability are the primary concerns.

Pros

Positive concept for turning a device into a local wifi camera.
Some users report the app works well in practice despite limitations.
Lens-switching capability (ability to switch between two rear lenses) is noted by users.

Cons

Frequent connection failures: cannot connect to the device or reduce to 'device not connected' errors, and long troubleshooting times.
OBS compatibility issues: cannot get it to work with OBS Studio, adding to setup frustration.
Pricing and trial model: requires a subscription upfront with no clear free trial and refunds not readily available.
Complex setup with unclear instructions: users report having to install drivers and follow lengthy steps with little guidance.
Time limit and unclear refresh behavior: reports of a 29-minute limit and uncertainty about how/when it refreshes.
