Features & Capabilities

Turn an idle smartphone or tablet into a DIY home security system with Presence. Enjoy live audio/video streaming, on-demand recording, the ability to switch between front and back cameras, and even remotely turn on the camera flash for better visibility. It supports sharing across devices so family and friends can watch from different locations, and includes encrypted cloud storage for motion-detection videos (free 50 MB).

Presence Pro Video adds more storage and controls: 5 GB encrypted cloud storage, faster and longer recordings, an alarm, and priority support. Pricing starts with a $1.99 weekly trial, then $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year. Alerts via email, in-app, or push keep you informed; you can auto-post motion clips to Twitter and invite multiple viewers to watch simultaneously, all while strong privacy protections remain in place.

User Reviews

Many reviews praise the app in the past for repurposing old iOS devices as security cameras and as a low-cost monitoring option. However, a large and recurring set of issues dominates current sentiment: inability to connect or stream remotely, app crashes and instability, long-term abandonment with little support, and login/account problems. Security warnings add to the concern. Overall, the app is viewed by many as outdated and unsupported despite a historically helpful feature set.

Pros

Repurposes old iOS devices as security cameras using a free version that has been usable for years.
Historically served as a low-cost home security/second-monitor solution across iOS devices.
Longstanding user base with past positive performance.

Cons

Cannot connect to cameras or view live stream consistently; remote viewing often unavailable.
App crashes/hangs and stability issues on various devices.
Developer abandonment / no updates for years and little-to-no support response.
Login and account issues (cannot login, reset links broken, accounts cannot be deleted).
Security warnings (certificate expiry / possible data leak) and concerns about impersonation.
