$34 is for the physical camera you can buy from them now; you are correct the yearly unlocked subscription is $30, my bad I should have noted the pricing above.

- gnicholas 4y agoWait, so how does this use an old iPad? I assumed that this app turned my old iPad into a security camera. Is that not the case? I can buy a Wyze camera for $30 and get notifications with no monthly fee (or pay a fee and get more cloud storage). I honestly don't understand how this app is a good use of my old iPad. How is an iPad even involved? Wouldn't I view the video from my phone?

- gnicholas 4y agoI did. It says stuff like > Everyone deserves peace of mind, so we made security easy and free for everyone. which lets me know that it's not a useful source of accurate information. A quick look at the App Store page shows that there are many IAPs, including fairly expensive subscriptions. If I have a choice of paying $30/yr to enable my iPad to be a security camera, or $30 one time to buy a Wyze (which has IR sensors/lights), then I'm going to go with the latter every time.

- gnicholas 4y agoAh ok. But you have to pay a monthly fee regardless? What about the claim on their website that they make this easy and free for everyone? What is available for free?
