FAQ

What is the meShare app used for?

meShare is a free smart home app designed to control meShare-compatible cameras, doorbells, and IoT devices. It provides live video streaming, cloud video recording, motion detection alerts, two-way audio, and remote monitoring from your iPhone or Android device. The app works with meShare's cloud services for encrypted video backup and subscription-based storage plans.

Is meShare the same as Zmodo?

meShare and Zmodo are related but distinct products. Both are developed by companies within the same corporate ecosystem, and some Zmodo cameras use the meShare cloud platform. However, they are separate apps with different features and interfaces. If your camera packaging mentions meShare, use the meShare app; if it mentions Zmodo, use the Zmodo app.

How do I set up a meShare camera?

To set up a meShare camera: download the meShare app, create or sign in to your account, tap 'Add Device', and scan the QR code on your camera. Follow the in-app instructions to connect the camera to your Wi-Fi network. Make sure your camera is powered on and your phone is on the same Wi-Fi network during setup. The QR code setup process eliminates the need for complex port forwarding.

How much does meShare cloud storage cost?

meShare offers two cloud subscription tiers: Premium Cloud at $4.99/month or $49.99/year, and Platinum Cloud at $9.99/month or $99.99/year. Prices are per device, and multi-device packages are available. You can manage your subscription through the web portal at user.meshare.com. The app is free to use without a cloud subscription — you simply won't have cloud recording capabilities.

How do I reset my meShare camera?

To reset a meShare camera, locate the physical reset button on the camera body (usually a small pinhole button). Press and hold the reset button for 10-15 seconds until you hear a voice prompt or see the indicator light flash. This restores the camera to factory settings. After resetting, you'll need to re-add the camera to the meShare app by scanning its QR code again.

Can I view meShare cameras on a PC or web browser?

meShare primarily operates through the mobile app on iOS and Android. You can manage your account and subscriptions through the web portal at user.meshare.com. For direct camera viewing on desktop, the iOS version of meShare is compatible with Macs running macOS with Apple silicon. There is no dedicated Windows desktop client currently available.

How do I connect my meShare camera to a new Wi-Fi network?

To change your meShare camera's Wi-Fi network: open the meShare app, select the camera, go to device settings, and choose the option to change Wi-Fi. You may need to reset the camera first and then re-add it to the app on the new network. Make sure the new Wi-Fi network is 2.4 GHz, as many meShare cameras do not support 5 GHz networks.

What should I do if I lost the QR code for my meShare camera?

If you've lost the QR code for your meShare camera, check the camera's user manual or original packaging, as the QR code is usually printed there as well. Some camera models have the QR code on a sticker on the camera body itself. If you cannot find it anywhere, contact meShare support at [email protected] with your camera model details for assistance.

Why is my meShare camera not connecting?

meShare camera connection issues are commonly caused by: Wi-Fi signal weakness (move the camera closer to the router), using a 5 GHz network instead of 2.4 GHz, incorrect Wi-Fi password, or firewall blocking. Try restarting your router and camera, ensure your phone and camera are on the same network during setup, and verify you're using a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band.

How do I cancel my meShare cloud subscription?

To cancel your meShare cloud subscription: log in to user.meshare.com, navigate to the 'Cloud' section, and click 'Manage' to modify or cancel your subscription. You can also manage subscriptions through your Apple App Store or Google Play Store account settings if you subscribed through in-app purchase. After cancellation, stored cloud recordings will be deleted.

Why I like roblox

App Store

They let us know when someone is there outside our house... we heard shootings and the app let us know... thankfully we are safe thanks to this app. The notifications are reliable and the live view works well. Great for home security.

Shaneb1275

The new upgrade made getting into my cameras MUCH faster. Before, it was painful waiting for the app to load. This is moving in the right direction. Still some room for improvement but the speed increase is very noticeable and appreciated.

App Store

Fiddly to install but okay otherwise. The setup process with the QR code took a few tries but once connected, the camera feed is stable. Decent functionality for a free app. Cloud storage pricing is fair. Wish the interface was more modern.

HomeWatcher2023

App Store

Good security camera app for the price. Motion detection notifications work reliably. Two-way audio is clear enough for doorbell use. The 256-bit encryption gives peace of mind. Only wish they had a proper PC client for desktop viewing.

SmartParent

App Store

Using meShare as a baby monitor and it works great for that purpose. The two-way audio is perfect for soothing the baby remotely. Night vision is decent. App is straightforward once set up. Cloud subscription is optional which I appreciate.

Solid camera monitoring app. Have 3 meShare cameras set up around my property and the app handles switching between them smoothly. Motion alerts are timely. Cloud recording works as advertised. QR code setup was the easiest camera setup I've done.

TechDad Reviews

Google Play

Does what it needs to do for basic home monitoring. Live view connects reliably on Wi-Fi. Cellular remote viewing can be slow depending on signal. The package detection feature is a nice addition. UI could use a refresh but functionality is solid.

Budget Security

Google Play

Best value for a free security camera app. No forced subscriptions, no ads. The cameras are affordable and the app is reliable. Motion alerts help me keep track of deliveries and visitors. Two-way audio works well for quick conversations at the door.

DIY Home Monitor

Google Play

Set up the meShare outdoor camera for my backyard. Connection is stable, night vision is clear, and motion detection sensitivity can be adjusted. The cloud storage plans are reasonably priced. Would recommend for anyone looking for simple home monitoring.

PetOwnerCam

Google Play

Perfect for checking on my pets while at work! The two-way audio lets me talk to my dog and the motion alerts tell me when he's active. Live view quality is great on Wi-Fi. The app is easy to use and the camera was simple to set up with the QR code.
