LiveYes for PC

LiveYes App Review

Introduction

LiveYes is a well-designed app that allows users to access their IP cameras from multiple devices simultaneously. It offers features such as continuous recording, alarm event recording, and the ability to convert recordings to MP4 format using a PC app. This app has been used for over a year on four Fredi IP cameras and has always worked reliably.

Features

One of the standout features of LiveYes is the ability for multiple users to access the app at the same time. This is a great feature as it eliminates the frustration of being kicked out of the app when someone else logs in. Additionally, the app allows users to record continuously or within specific time slots, as well as recording alarm events. This is a great feature as it ensures that users never miss any important events. One downside of the app is that the alarm event recording length option is limited to 30 seconds. This may not be enough time for some users, but if set to record all day, the event can be viewed fully. Another downside is that LiveYes is not compatible with the latest onvif protocols, which means it may not work with all IP cameras. LiveYes does not have any ads or fees to pay, unless users want cloud storage. This is a great feature as it ensures that users are not bombarded with ads or charged unnecessary fees.

User Experience

Users have reported a positive experience with LiveYes, with many stating that it works seamlessly over mobile networks. The app has a slight delay between the real-life event and the video, but this is not a major issue. The controls are easy to understand, and the picture quality is decent. Some users have reported issues with the app, such as receiving error messages when trying to purchase cloud storage. Others have reported that the app beeps loudly when the Wi-Fi connection is lost. However, these issues seem to be related to the cameras rather than the app itself.

Conclusion

Overall, LiveYes is a great app for those who have suitable IP cameras. It offers multiple user access, continuous and alarm event recording, and the ability to convert recordings to MP4 format. While it may not be compatible with all IP cameras and has some minor issues, it is a reliable and user-friendly app that is worth trying out.
