What users are saying

1. 30 min downloads dont work because you have to drag to that spot to choose the time you want!!!!! Those bugs make the subscription useless sadly!! :(The connection is ok, but it took a little time to understand... first you should disconnect the mobile data on the phone when you manage the set up and connection.

2. trying to download video is even worse because the timeline freezes trying to sync the time you want to download.

3. I've tried changing the time and time zones on the phone, the camera, the router, and even disconnected the network to force the time settings.

4. Lately the timestamp in playback jumps around when a time is selected instead of just playing like it used to.

5. (You need to buy one separately.) But the app failed miserably when I tried to download a video from the microSD storage.

6. Also it does not allow saving videos sometimes as it says you need to be on the same network (I am)Poorly written software that wouldn't detect cam on my phone.

7. I just want to configure my device locally, I don't want cloud services.Had a chance to use this for a while and paid for subscription....wish I hadnt! The hardware is decent.

8. Also, one of the mid to high priced options!Absolutely slow and doesn't work most of the time.

9. If you go to download a motion clip, you lose the first few seconds, even tho it does replay correctly by clicking on it.

10. No fixApp is 100% UNUSABLE after daylight savings time change in the US.

11. The moment you touch the screen the timeline jumps ahead 1 hour, making it really hard to replay old data.

Steps to Troubleshoot & Fix HDlivecam Issues

1. Fix HDlivecam Not Working/Crashes/Errors/Unresponsive & Black/White screen:


  1. Restart HDlivecam: Restarting the app will resolve most errors.
  2. Update the HDlivecam App. Here is how:
    1. On Android goto PlayStore » Search for "HDlivecam" » Open HDlivecam » click "Update".
    2. On iPhone, goto AppStore » Your profile » Available Updates » Check for HDlivecam » click "UPDATE".
  3. Clear HDlivecam app cache: Clearing cached data will force your app to retrieve the latest data directly from HDlivecam servers.
    1. On Android, goto Settings » Apps » Select "HDlivecam" » click Storage » click "Clear Cache".
  4. Check HDlivecam app permissions. If any of these permissions required to use your device's features are disenabled, HDlivecam might not work.
  5. Uninstall and reinstall HDlivecam. If nothing else has worked, completely uninstall HDlivecam then reinstall.
  6. Restart your device. Last, restarting your device can often clear most problems causing HDlivecam not working


2. Fix HDlivecam Server issues & Internet Connection


  1. Check network connection: An unstable Internet will make HDlivecam be unable to connect to it's servers. Ensure your wi-fi is working then restart app.
  2. Disable VPN: VPN can cause connection errors and lead to HDlivecam not working. Make sure all VPNs are off
  3. Enable background data: When Background data is turned off, HDlivecam may not be able to connect to the Internet when running in the background.

Hi, I'm trying to connect a wifi remote camera with the HDlivecam app on my PIxel 6 android phone. As i connect with the provided camera wifi (says connected, no internet access), and then go back to the HDlivecam app, the app just gets stuck on "loading" and never really connects to the camera. I tried resetting the camera, resetting the phone, resetting the router, de-installing the app... nothing works.

— 1 year ago by Richard Joseph Whitaker

Bought camera x2. Connects directly to camera but then the app just says 'loading' and the button 'Set up camera Wi-Fi' does not do anything.

Dear Support, The app cannot see the camera so I wanted to reset the cam, but the reset button on device is not working. I pushed it for longer than 5sec but still not doing anything (the LEDs are not flashing). I tried to switch the camera OFF/ON several times but still cannot reset it. It is fully charged. The LEDs are lightening solidly. Please help. Thanks

Hi There I would like to find out more about accessing your camera streams in software. I have a camera configured in the mobile app, but would like to access the stream in software like AgentDVR in order to setup recording. I myself am a software developer looking to setup something for personal use. Could you point me in the right direction?

I bought the HDLivecam 5 days ago at AMAZON (UK) but it only worked perfectly for 4 days and stopped working. I tried resetting it several times using the RESET button but it still won’t work. It keeps having the RED light on. I also tried deleting the HDLivecam App and re-installing it, but this does not work at all. It worked very well for 4 days but suddenly stopped working and there’s a TED light on. Please help, as I really love my HDLivecam very much. A million thanks 🙏 in advance for the assistance you will give me. From: ARNIE McINTYRE

It seems impossible to connect the camera to WiFi. I am following the steps in the precise order they are instructed, however after starting the final step of ‘set up wifi’ and inserting my wifi password it loads up to 90% and then message ‘connection failed’ appeared. I have ensured my camera is connected to power, both phone and camera are very close to router and the password is correct. Could you please advise on how to handle the matter? Otherwise the camera is rendered rather useless.
