DS cam

I left Surveillance Station last year because the app has lacking a lot of key features. Today I decided to give it another try because I liked how organized everything was on my NAS sticking with the synology apps and I really don’t want to continue to run a separate docker instance. I have to say I was presently surprise at the updates to the mobile app! Why not 5 stars? - I have not fully checked out all the features but so far it looks like it meets all of my needs now. I will update when I do! As a developer, I understand the work that goes into these features. It’s a thankless job! To the developers- Well done! I have been spinning up docker containers testing other software (xeoma, blue iris, zoneminder, and more) and I feel like you guys now have the most complete package. I would say the only features I feel is missing is a way to add more licenses without waiting for the hard license to arrive. At a minimum, maybe give us the ability to add the camera in a trial mode until the keys arrive. Keep up the great work!

I had moved about a year ago and today I set my surveillance station back up using Reolink RLC-422 cameras. BOY has the optioned changed on this application, makes it super user friendly. As long as you know what you are doing you can create a camera recording system interface that is way above a anything else. I am an electrical engineer and spent the last couple of weeks integrating a 80k Pelco camera system with our existing one so I know what a user interface should look like. To the developers, thank you so much for putting in the time and making this what it is. Btw, I have had an iPhone since basically day one and this is my first review. Your effort has not gone unnoticed, it’s now time to advertise! Make this a standard!

I use this App for 5 years and went to many updates. The iPad is on my wall and runs this App 24/7. Every 24-48 house the App freezes and needs to be rebooted. Only 1-2 releases over the years when this was not the case but than apple updates or Synology updates and the software become unstable. I notice lately that they reset the software when streaming stops so I think they working on thus shortcoming. Great idea but not fir professional use at all. To check there cameras occasionally it works great but nit constant monitoring where you see all the cameras all the time.

The DS Cam app is great. I started moving over to the Synology platform about 2yrs ago and I have been super impressed. The responsiveness of the app goes along with everything else I have experienced. The UI is very clean and reliable... I'm able to quickly start-up, connect and view my cameras within a few seconds. All of the customizations are just what I need! Thank you for all the hard work, in making this platform and experience seamless! Suggestions: My only suggestions are to perhaps allow a little more freedom with the Views. I wish there was a view which allowed you to just select a single column and scroll (sort-of like the 1x3 view), but if I had 10 cameras I could quickly scroll through all of them in the single column. Finally, if there was a way to adjust the motion detection zones from within the app that would be great, but it definitely is not a deal breaker.

Great app to see what’s going on remote. Use it local when at the house and away. Has a great method to switch between different addresses (for example local IP vs public IP when your not home). My wife uses it as well and she’s as computer savvy as a boomer . Would love to continue to see more features added but what’s there is good and has always worked for me
