Synology LiveCam

Congratulations on inventing virtual garbage. This app is nothing other than a waste of time and space.

Tried multiple devices. App just doesn’t connect to NAS neither via lan ip or quickconnect. Using admin credentials. All other Synology apps (like ds photo etc) working with the same address and credentials.

This is not for viewing

I wish this had landscape recording and playback . I been using Synology products for over 20 years but this is not ready for prime time yet.

Up and running was pretty straight forward. Is it possible to have the app set the camera focus or at least set it to infinity? The phone refuses to focus through a screen outside the window instead of the background. Edit: ISO control/autoISO (with gentle step changing) as well would be very useful. I’ve noticed every time the ISO automatically changes, such as when the sun is going down, the focus gets checked again and the screen outside the window becomes the focal target again. Not looking to make this app into a camera app, just hoping to get minimal control over the camera to stabilize some of its more irritating auto functions. Thank you! App functions very well. Just need it to control a few things to make an older iPhone a more reliable surveillance camera.

I spend $50 on a camera license for this and it is not a useable product. I have tried 3 different phones. I have done a factory reset. It randomly crashes every day. This makes it worthless. Also why can’t I control the focus and zoom?

Been using the app and worked great until it stopped working with ios14.2 beta. Not a ton of advanced features but really solid utility for connecting to NAS. Was working fine until ios14.2 beta update. Hope this is resolved quickly.

This app should record when away from the nas and upload when it connects to a home network. Ideal for role your own dash cams.

Free app costs $53 if you want to use it. I bought your NAS, my cameras are licensed (which is silly enough) but now I need a camera license for the app. You think they would mention that in the ad. The one star review is for wasting my time.

Works just as i hoped it would, yes i had to buy a license but it is worth it, some reviews mentioned it does not work away from home , i found it works just as i had hoped and i am able to stream video right to my NAS from work 50 miles away. Quality is good with a few minor skips could have a bigger issue if you are on weak cellular signal
