I've found that iVMS handles multiple cameras with ease and was a professional-grade app for me. As an installer, I have hundreds of Hikvision cameras installed for clients across the country, and I typically have at least 200 connected to each of my iPhones. In comparison, Nest's cloud storage offers limited functionality compared to saving footage directly to your own Hikvision NVR. Additionally, you're constantly paying for a service that doesn't provide much benefit. If you don't know how to properly configure your system, the commercial Nest solution may be more suitable for you. After spending many hours reading and experimenting with my settings, adjusting bandwidth, and fine-tuning camera configurations, I'm thrilled with my current setup. I've connected my cameras using the device connection method, which ensures an almost instant connection every time. In one instance, I discovered that my wife was logging into her phone using my account instead of me sharing access. Initially, I thought I had a problem with my Hik-Connect cloud account disappearing randomly from my phone, but it turned out to be user error. Thankfully, my Hikvision NVR and cameras have never experienced any crashes or issues. The reason for setting up dual streams is to allow for high-resolution streaming when internet speeds permit. If your connection speed isn't sufficient, you won't be able to stream at high resolutions. In contrast, Nest cameras are no match for the capabilities of Hikvision devices. I'm shocked by the negative reviews I've read, but I believe it's due to a lack of understanding about how these systems work.
