THIS DOES NOT DO AUDIO ON FOSCAM 8918

Just bought this and it does not do audio

Crashes Often!

When I click to move my cameras the apps always crashes and closes. Other than this issue it works pretty well but is way overpriced in my opinion

Used with ibaby monitor camera

I purchased this app for my ibaby m3 cameras. I curently have two cameras. This is the only way I have been able to get audio off of the ibaby monitors on my mac computer. It is also really nice to view both cameras at the same time. I sent the developer an email requesting the ability to view two cameras at the same time with out having the black boxes saying no camera. This app was made for people with lots of cameras. It would also be nice to hear the audio from multiple cameras at once. It seems to be limited to one camerea at a time. Also when you switch between cameras you have to hit the audio button again to enable audio. Overall, this app is a quality app that displays video clearly and enable audio on many cameras that dont have solutions for the mac. Thanks for an awesome app and I look forward to seeing some updates.

Excellent

I had just purchased a Foscam, Panasonic, Axis wireless IP cameras and had great results using it with Windows PC. But having a MacBook Air I wanted an application which I could use everywhere. Well, having tried many different Mac apps for my cameras I have to say that uNetCams has to be the most technically competent and for that matter, very cool application out there.

Overall good app

I have been using this app for a couple of years now. It works well. Enables me to see my dlink cameras on the MAC. This is especially helpful since the dlink web interface only support internet explorer. I have not had any issues with the application. it runs smooth on the mac and has connected to several different cameras without a problem. There are limits though. The documentation is non-existant. Forget about a manual to read. You have to figure things out on your own. They have a support email box that is monitored, but their answers are generally basic. On my dlinks I can set preset positions, but it wasnt clear how to do this. They are listed as 1,2,3,4… in the app. In the dlink web interface you have to name a preset location 1, 2 3, etc. for this feature to work. Easy enough, but was not clearly spelled out anywhere. There is also a patrol mode in this app that should sequence through the presets, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get it to work. The error message states, "Need to set at least two preset positions in this app." The setup menu is simple. There are no preset configuration points I have found. There are no provisions for setting up custom cameras that are not on the list. You cannot simply set a URL to monitor. I have an isight camera software called IP CAM that I would love to add into the monitoring. It has a simple url to pick up the stream, but it is not supported. It is a great little program. Would be good if they would add support or enable us to create generic cameras with specific URLs.

Does not work with my camera, would like a refund!

This does not work with my dlink dcs 5010L

Best among limted choices

There are very limited choices among multi-ip cam apps for OSX. This seems to be the best in terms of camera support and being able to display multiple cameras in a useful manner. However, it crashes all the time. I run it constantly on a dedicated display and I have to restart the app a minimum of twice a day. Sometimes individual cameras will also freeze. Sometimes edit/save of the camera restarts it and sometimes doing that crashes the app. In the meantime, my iSpy server, which handles triggered recording, has no problems with any camera at any time. I wish they made an OSX version or a better web interface. Another annoyance is that it can’t access the PT feature of my Dlink 5020 camera. I have to contol the camera from my (non-UBNTEK) ios app. If there was another OSX app that did what this one does but doesn’t crash all the time, I’d give this one 1 or 2 stars. Since it’s pretty much the only game in town, it gets 3.

ITS OKAY I GUESS

ALWAYS FREEZES ALL THE TIME CAN I GET A REFUND ?

Just Works...

I use it every day…!!!

Unet Cams on Mac Book Pro

Unet Cams works great on Mac Book Pro. I had problems finding an app that worked with my Axis camera and this one fits the bill.

Just OK

Not enough RTSP Support Need Vivotek RTSP Support. Also needs more customization for video screens. I have 5 cameras and my only options for viewing create 3+ dead video spaces. Why not a vertical or horizontal bar of camera windows? No option to hide the controller/camera list. No OS X Full screen option. This app needs work.

Wish I Could Get A Refund

It doesn’t support Hikvision, which is a major player; especially with the biggest security companies in my area. Game over, man.

Its really good and I love the simple playback, but...

Okay, first of all, this is an app I use everyday. It works. Its easy. The timeline playback is hands down the reason to buy this or ufoscam or any of the camera specific versions of this app. Now, the but… This app quits every couple of days. Easy fix, I just have a calendar script that starts the app (if its not running) at the times I really need it. And the other problem is that it doesnt allow the screensaver or screen sleep to occur, which defeats the computers security for those of us who require a password login after screen sleep or screensaver startup. Fix those two problems and youve got a five star app.

Crashes a lot

I am using this on a mac book pro and it crashes everytime I use it. Over and over it crashes. I have it installed on a macbook pro and a mac desktop both crash often. I would love to love this ap but it just doesnt work

Not what I expected, but turns out to have a hidden benefit for older cameras

I have an older TrendNet 312 and thought I could use UnetCams to set up my camera since the software they make is Windows only. You cant do the setup my TrendNet camera with UnetCams and the brief directions are cryptic. For example my camera is listed as a supported camera, but the application only shows some of the model numbers it supports-- the directions dont actually say "if you have one of these cameras, you need to tell the software you have this other one…" There is a colin burried in the list of modle numbers, so if you are clever, you can view the image eventually. The surprise bonus, and why I am keeping UnetCams software, even though you have to do all your setup on a windows machine-- is that the web viewer page that is built into the older cameras, works on a mac browser until you change the IP address on the camera, and then the Java certificate is no longer valid because of the new Java security measures. So if it were not for aps like UnetCams, I would no longer be able to see my camera displayed on a Mac-- so that was a surprise!

No longer works after upgrade to OS X Yosemite

This app crashes immediately upon running after upgrading my Mac to OS X Yosemite. Please update to fix whatever is not compatible.

No support?

I bought this because the website and App store indicate support for Sricam but once purchased, this isn’t an option. I have been unable to find an email link for support and when I click on their website for support, it states to email to the address on the App store (i.e., the one that doesn’t exist). Can anyone share their contact information?

Great App

uNetCams is a great app for monitoring ip cameras. It is very stable and flexible.

New Update for Yosemite Seems To Crash

I had the Maverick’s version running fine on Yosemite and I accidentally accepted the new update. Now I am constantly getting Image Error (132)’s. Sometimes reconnecting the camera works, somtimes not. The developer has responded and asked for access to my camera’s. I am a little uneasy about that. The Foscam’s work fine through the Web Gui. If you have the older version adn it’s working fine, don’t take the upgrade. I had zero issues with the older version and now with this one it’s useless. I have no trust in my captures now. The cameras still send me the pictures when the error is up, but no Mac recording then. I wish I had a copy of the older version :( Loved it until this, I just want the old version back….

2.0 crashes on Yosemite

The latest version of the app is not working anymore. I have the same problem on mac pro, macbook pro and iMac. If that is not fixed quickly I have to find an alternative.
