All camera streams are relayed by the home hub instance with a secure peer-to-peer connection between your devices.

User Reviews

It works pretty well, only issue is the video is blurry for some reason, despite being a high res stream. Also the UI is pretty awkward, there’s arrow buttons on the stream in app at all times, and it doesn’t respond to phone orientation

Only works when connected to the same WiFi

I’ve been testing several apps to tile 4 or more RTSP camera streams for display on our Apple TVs. My goal was to give my wife and babysitters an easy way to monitor our security cameras on the LAN — without needing to log into our camera management platform or fiddle with user accounts. Most apps either didn’t handle substreams well, lacked proper grid views, or had clunky interfaces. Cam Hero stood out immediately. Not only does it look and function great, but it also worked reliably with our setup. I finally stopped searching and purchased the lifetime license — it just worked that well. I did hit a bug initially (blank “My Cameras” screen with more than 4 cameras), but the developer, Rex, responded quickly, reproduced the issue, and rolled out a fix within a few days. That level of support is rare. Since then, the app’s been smooth and the 4x4 grid view is exactly what we needed. I’ve even shared feedback and a feature suggestion and it’s clear the developer genuinely listens. That alone made the purchase worth it. If you’re looking for a simple, polished, and actively supported way to view RTSP streams on Apple TV, iPhone and Mac; this is the one to get.
