Now you can view multiple homes at once in the grid view. This feature lets you monitor every camera you own to keep your property safe and secure. (This feature may be limited by Apple limitations set on rmeote access).
IMPROVED AUDIO SUPPORT
Listen to every camera you own at once. On macOS and iOS, simply tap or click the speaker icon on the grid view for each camera you wish to listen into. On TV, long press then choose Enable Audio. Great for baby monitoring or just when you need to listen to multiple cameras.
CAMERA ROTATION
Ever had to install a camera upside down? Well now with camera rotation... you can rotate it back to the correct orientation. Simple.
IMPROVED TV SUPPORT
HomeCam now has an improved grid exprience on Apple TV. Simply swipe to your cameras to hide the tab bar, and tap Menu or Back to show the tab bar again.
