Ratings and reviews

It works pretty well most of the time. An easy fix when the cam stops - turn the power off/on to the camera. Then it will reboot and work fine. As of June 9, 2022 email notifications don't work. Looks like Google blocked access to less secure apps. Note that Dericam app hasn't been updated for a couple years. I sent an email to Dericam asking for help regarding email alerts. As suggested, need to turn on 2-step verification and create an independent app password for email then it works fine.

Cameras frequently do not connect. When they do, app is "fine". But it's frustrating to constantly troubleshoot. Cameras are never found by scanning the network, and now they won't connect manually....so we are resorting to starting all over from scratch, which is a pain the butt because the cameras have to come down to hook up via ethernet cord. UPDATE: Now we can't get a wireless hookup...Wired is fine,but set 6(manual) or 7(auto) doesn't reflect any network so can't include in our network.

I've been using this app for the past year to monitor two cameras at a summer cottage. The app worked well until about two weeks ago when it consistently "loses" one camera. When I am on the local network, I can easily add the camera back but it disappears again within a few hours. I never have any trouble accessing the cameras with PC software so I know the cameras and their connection to WiFI is okay. Google Play claims the app hasn't been changed in six months so I am mystified why I am suddently having this problem. It makes the app useless for monitoring purposes. 9/10/2018 Update: App now "loses" both cameras and I have to add them both back each time I use the app. 1/15/19 Update: I finally resolved the problem with having to add the cameras back each time i used the app. On my Android, I cleared the cache for the app, uninstalled the app, and reinstalled. Clearing the cache seems to be the solution. Everything seems to be working well for the past couple of weeks so I changed the app rating.
