A great program in theory that doesn’t seem to function as advertised
EDIT: Noise above my threshold is not triggering a recording… this entire application has gone from “Amazing” to “a waste of 7 dollars” in no time… It’s too bad, it has some great ideas integrated into it… but those ideas are not worth a penny if they aren’t functional.
To begin, I am not running Yosemite (nor do I plan on upgrading anytime soon… people should stop doing this until at least a year has passed) so this program runs perfectly on Mavericks so far.
I’ve used a lot of different IP cam applications on Windows and Mac, and I must say really enjoy this one. I needed to keep an eye on my new puppy, and the application I used for years wasn’t cutting it (evocam). I needed both audio detection, and audio recording to ensure that my new puppy wasn’t making tons of noise and bothering the neighbors.
So far my puppy is being very quiet, and I can monitor him with the REALLY helpful graphs! This seems like the perfect solution for puppies and babies alike (although I hope nobody is leaving their babies home alone… more thinking they can monitor it visually while they blast music a few rooms away if they so please.)
Anyway, very cool solution, and well worth the 7 bucks! Oh, and I am using a cheap under $50 Wanscam IP camera. It hooked in immediately without any trouble by just setting it up as a generic camera. All the features work so far as I can tell. This Wanscam camera is basically the OEM version of the Foscam FI8918W, but it’s 25-30 dollars cheaper.
