This app works perfectly fine. For those who cannot get it to work you need to set up and enable SSL/https in apache2 for this to work. Recent changes to androids SDK prevent live video from working over plain http.

Seems like it has a lot of potential! I used Copilot to set my zone minder up instead of using solely the zone minder documentation. It works well. I like that there are other features you can add like face detection ect. I am using Relink cameras

Not worth your time. I spent hours and hours trying to get this to work to no avail. Followed all the instructions, FAQ suggestions, and troubleshooting steps but this simply doesn't work. Confirmed API works correctly as stated in instructions, so I can only assume this app is broken in its current state. Avoid

Both the mobile app and the self-hosted NVR are outdated, buggy and crashes just by going through different screens, memory leaks and deadlocked processes using 100% cpu etc. This whole thing needs a serious revamp.

Did not work with self-signed SSL, lets encrypt would not take an IP address. Without SSL Android OS will reject images.

Event Server still doesn't work. FCM rejects all notification messages due to a limitation.
