Turns your old phone into a very functional security/nanny cam. It’s best to leave it connected to a charger and obviously plugged in. However if you want to see what’s going on and want mor covert functionality the battery will last for a few hours. I have the basic plan and it’s good other than a bit slow but for free I’m not complaining. Even the upgrade to Pro is reasonable but I just want to keep an eye on the inside of my safe. If others have access to your valuables/guns/jewelry/cash etc this is a great way to monitor who is in there and what they are doing. I caught someone in there that shouldn’t have been. If it wasn’t for this app I would have never known. Can’t say enough about the functionality. 5 stars all the way. Just remember if your using an older phone the app may feel clunky and slow but it could be the phone you’re using. Also be sure all phones/cams are on the same WiFi connection if you have 2.5 and 5 WiFi.

I was so impressed in fact that I made it my calling to tell everyone I knew all about this ingenious app that was using an otherwise useless item into one that would not only enhance our lives but secure our family's and the future. I was humbled by the fact that the apps developers were in essence "gifting" their brilliant idea to mankind. I told myself that the least I could do wad spread the word and help people and the environment at the same time. I started to realize that there were serious issues that needed to be worked out. Kinks in the system that actually put our safely at risk by causing us to become more vulnerable thinking we were safe when in fact, the camera/phone had ceased to work and needed to be reconnected.. Sometimes multiple times a day. I troubleshot the situation and attempted to remediate it by initiating the dedicated camera option but it didn't change a thing. I would still go to check the feed when it had been unusually quiet and discover it had been offline for hours on end. Leaving me unprotected but with my guard down. This is not good. A lack of hypervigilance when hypervigilance is in order creates a dangerous situation and that fact alone, scares me. In yielding the many calls from all of the new Presence users that I'd sang the virtues of the app to like it was my own put me in an untenable situation. They were encountering similar problems and I felt this whole debacle was an absolute tragedy waiting to happen. Hopefully the developers will work out these kinks that are safety issues themselves. The idea is great. The concept is brilliant but it's got big problems that could lead to catastrophe.

We have NO internet where we live and so-so cell services with ATT and Verizon. The app worked as stated & we had video evidence of UPS or Fed-Ex, other people walking around house outside. Our phones gave out & we now are using our iPads. For people who don’t have internet & can’t get the wi-fi security cameras that are out there it’s a perfect solution. You would think that in today’s technology world there would be more of this type of service but we the people who don’t have high speed internet are left out in the cold to figure all this out. There are many services that claim they can monitor over cell service but all that we have found aren’t available in our area. It is the perfect app for all of us who choose to live out away from town in our own paradise without internet. Amen to Prescence!!

Too long of a wait for motion detection

It appears that even with Pro, it isn't possible to set the wait time for recording following motion detection to less than 5 seconds (even though 1, 2, 3, and 4 are on the selector, it keeps springing back to 5). My driveway is 75' long, but both the UPS guy (walking from the road) and the lazy cat from next door get almost to my porch before the recording starts. I back down my driveway from the road, all of which is in the camera's sights, but only see the hood of my truck as it disappears beside my house. All I ever see in these recordings is the tail end of what just happened. This is all with detecting "normal-sized" movements. It would benefit from shorter wait times on motion detection (at least in the paid version, although a competitor offers this for free) and also a detection grid to limit triggering by things that will never be significant like wind-blown tree limbs (also offered by a competitor).

The morning of the wedding my husband and I went down to breakfast at the hotel as we left the room the dog started scratching and whining at the door. I was horrified thinking how are we going to spend 5 to 6 hours at the wedding while the dog scratches the door in the hotel room. Then I remembered friend at work showed me videos on her phone of her cat walking around at her house that were being taken while she was at work. I downloaded the app on my iPad and phone and was able to videotape the dogs actions while we were out of the room. Thank God because we were able to see that the dog just lay down and slept while we were gone. If not for this app I would not of been going to the wedding thinking the dog was going to wine and scratch the whole time we were gone so needless to say" I love 💜this app" and we had a great time at the wedding. And honestly the possibilities are endless.

I love it and appreciate that there’s a free version for people (like myself) that can’t afford a monthly fee or only use it for specific occasions and not on a daily basis. It also doesn’t require you to buy things from their company , (like installing cameras or motion detectors etc), to let the app work! Just two of ur devices that both connected to the internet! This is one of my favorite Apps. I’d suggest it for everyone, and if you can afford it the pro version is even better! With this app there is nothing you can lose and EVERYTHING you can GAIN!!👍🏻🙏🤗

While it lacks some features that I would like , I see that one can request, and vote one other suggested features, and that developers are listening and are/have added some of the requested features. One that I personally would appreciate is having more control over recording time, starting and length of rec. after motion is detected this lack is problematic in that event can be over by the time recording starts, and you can only capture a small window of an event rather that the entire event. At least 5-10 minuets would be very helpful. I also would like add some devices but all your kits seem to remain sold out and individual prices are pricey. I really appreciate this app and that it’s getting better. Keep up the good work!

Obviously a full paid security camera system is better, but for preventing people from taking your stuff in your room, great solution. The dedicated camera mode is probably my favorite part about this app. So even if they find it they can’t exit out of it :). Although there is a bit of delay with the motion detection, you can’t get too picky since it’s a free app and old devices. Same thing with the quality of live viewing cameras, but knowing the motion detection records it with good quality I’m not to concerned about that. This is a wonderful app, and I highly recommend you use it!

The developers have made a fantastic product that works surprisingly well on older systems. I had an old 2nd Gen iPad that was basically useless (couldn’t update iOS beyond 9.1, and headphones had broken in the audio jack) until I set up the Presence app. Now I have a great webcam for my lake house — I can set it to motion sensor if I want to monitor comings and goings of wildlife and other visitors via alerts, or I can turn off alerts and just check in on the video feed whenever I want to see the weather, or reverse the camera to monitor the inside of the house. Regardless of what kind of security system you have, this lets you set up and control an extra camera wherever you like.

Bought a couple wifi cameras, but I turned off the night vision light because they made an audible click inside the device when night vision activated. They are great for specific purposes, but luckily I had my old cell with newly downloaded Presence app (literally worked out to catch perp the next day). It was the only camera that actually turned on and caught the act. Was able to retrieve some items before having the roommate pack up and get the heck out of the house. Definitely gives life to old cell phones and they can be used in so many places that you may not otherwise place a camera.
