Cinmoore

Yes, the Cinmoore app is free to download and use. All core features — including live streaming, motion alerts, two-way audio, and local SD card recording — are available at no cost. Optional cloud storage subscriptions start at $2.99/month (Secure Plus Monthly) for users who want cloud-based event recording and extended storage.

Setting up a Cinmoore camera is simple: (1) Download the Cinmoore app from the App Store or Google Play and create an account, (2) Tap the '+' button to add a new device, (3) Power on your camera and follow the on-screen instructions, (4) Scan the QR code displayed in the app with your camera to complete WiFi pairing. The camera supports 2.4GHz WiFi networks. Ensure your phone and camera are on the same network during setup.

The Cinmoore app works exclusively with Cinmoore-branded cameras, including: the MonkeyKing (BC2U) indoor wireless camera, 3K Indoor 360° camera with AI tracking and WiFi 6, 4G AOR solar-powered outdoor cameras (no WiFi required), and 2.5K wireless WiFi cameras with IP65 weather resistance. All models pair directly with the app for setup and management.

Pre-roll recording is a feature that captures 5 seconds of video before a motion event is triggered. This means when you review an alert, you'll see what happened just before the motion was detected — not just after. This is particularly useful for capturing the full context of security events, such as seeing someone approach before they trigger the motion sensor.

Cinmoore offers several cloud storage tiers: 300MB for 7 days ($1.99), 1GB for 30 days ($5.99), 2GB for 30 days ($10.00), 12GB for 365 days ($59.99), Unlimited for 30 days ($17.99), Unlimited for 365 days ($179.99), Secure Plus Monthly ($2.99/month), and Secure Plus Annual ($29.99/year). Some cameras include a 90-day free cloud trial. Local microSD card storage (up to 256GB) is always available as a free alternative.

Yes, Cinmoore supports two sharing methods: (1) Add family members to your 'Home' — they'll have access to all cameras in that home, or (2) Share individual cameras with specific people for more granular control. Shared users can view live feeds, receive alerts, and review recordings without needing your account credentials.

Cinmoore cameras feature AI-powered smart detection that can distinguish between humans, pets, crying sounds, and vehicles. This intelligent filtering significantly reduces false alerts caused by wind, shadows, or passing wildlife. You can customize which detection types trigger notifications for each camera individually.

Most Cinmoore cameras require WiFi for initial setup and remote access through the app. However, cameras with microSD card storage can record locally when WiFi is temporarily unavailable. For locations without WiFi, Cinmoore offers 4G AOR solar-powered models that use cellular connectivity instead of WiFi for always-on remote access.

Cinmoore's Security Mode lets you create customizable profiles — Home, Away, and Armed — that control which cameras are active and what notifications you receive. For example, in 'Home' mode you might disable indoor cameras but keep outdoor ones active. In 'Away' mode, all cameras can be set to maximum sensitivity with full notifications. Switch modes manually or set schedules.

According to the developer, the Cinmoore app does not collect or share user data with third parties. Video feeds are encrypted end-to-end, and the app includes a privacy mode that can physically disable the camera lens when not in use. All cloud storage data is encrypted and accessible only through your authenticated account.
