I was very excited to install this app and use the service. I was aware that there is a monthly charge to use the full service (recording and storing what was captured on video at higher resolutions, higher frame rate, etc.) and was pleased that the monthly rate was so low. To my dismay, the service was not even worth the low monthly rate. I installed it first on my tablet and the camera would record while I was testing it, but it would not work when I was not home. The program would shut down after I left it open, and I was careful to disable the option for my tablet to sleep after inactivity. I even installed it on my laptop with the same results. The program would shut down, and the motion detection would not work. I used the "lock by system" feature to no avail, which should allow the program to work even after locking the computer to prevent unauthorized access. It seems that a lot of work was put into this service, but I regret that it does not live up to my expectations.

You DO advertise your app as free. Look just below where it says Install at the top of the page, it says Free. Then when I go to install it says Install your free app.
I realize in your description it does say $1.50 per month but at the same time, it is listed as free.
This app isn't worth the download. Extremely disappointing, especially since after giving my email address as required, I had to block emails from your company because they wouldn't stop. 73 emails in less then 3 minutes?? Come on... there's no reason for your company to send me 73 emails in 3 minutes..

Purports to be a free app. Is not a free app.

It seems to be a regular webcam app, but I found it is different: it can record data to the cloud. I like it because it is easier than other webcam security apps, it does not require network configuration, after install the app, sign up an account, and it starts uploading images to cameraftp immediately. Watching the video from a smart phone is also very easy, install the viewer app, logon, and you can play the recorded video.
Other webcam security apps also allow me to watch video remotely, but they don't record data, which is really the most important part of surveillance service.

IF YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE APP OPEN FOR EVERYONE TO SEE THEN ITS NOT A SECURITY APP ITS JUST A WEBCAM APP, ONCE YOU MINIMIZE THE APP IT STOPS WORKING, WHO WANTS TO HAVE THE APP RUNNING WERE EVERYONE CAN SEE INCULDING THE BAD GUY

It might be great, but it's not free.

That's so easy to setup, and for security and monitoring service, this is by far the cheapest one!
3 March 2014
Must pay $ per month to use

Not only was I able to avoid spending a fortune on high-end security cameras, but I also don't have to worry about whether or not my files are secure.
For just a few dollars a month I am able to record, monitor, and playback recordings anytime.
When it comes to security cameras, one of the most valuable advantages is discretion; and being able to turn my computer/webcam into a complete surveillance system achieves just that. Thumbs up CameraFTP!

This app is awesome. I tried other webcam apps, but they cannot record data, and I don't know how to view the images remotely. This app records data to the cloud, and they have mobile apps for viewing the recorded data remotely.
Pros: very easy, can record data and play back.
Cons: costs $1.49/month or $4.99/year, the price is actually very low for security and monitoring service, but this is the lowest level plan. If you want better image quality, you need to order a higher level plan on cameraftp.com. (Still very cheap)
Overall, this probably is not the best security camera service, but then it works! It's very easy and it seems to be more secure as it records data to the cloud.

It seems you are confused by the app and the service.
CameraFTP is much more than just this app. It is a cloud-based security and monitoring service. Home security service usually charges over $30 - $100/month. Our service starts at $1.50/month.
We clearly stated the service price in the description of this app. It was never advertised as free.
If this app is not free, then we will have to set a price for you to install. But the service price is monthly, that will create more confusion.

The app claims to be free, but it only gives you a free trial. You have to pay for the app service once the trial expires. But before they tell you you're going to have to pay, they make you set up an account and give your email address. Not free, deceptive, not worth the price.

Planned to buy an IP security camera and did some research online. But there are so many choices, and it does not seem to be easy to setup, esp. to setup remote recording. Just tried this one, the setup was very easy and straight-forward. In just a few minutes, I was able to see the images on my iPhone. If it works fine for the trial period, I will surely subscribe.
