Marcus came to camera apps through a break in at a neighbour's shop: the camera had recorded everything, but the app made the clip so hard to find that it nearly went unused. He has tested WiFi cameras and their Android apps ever since, with one rule: an app passes only if a tired person can find a recording at midnight.
How Marcus tests a camera app
Every app starts on the test wall at his home: indoor and outdoor cameras, a door camera and a pan and tilt model, all on an ordinary home router. He pairs each camera fresh, lives with the alerts for at least a week, checks playback at busy and quiet hours, and tests two way talk from another network before writing a word.
What he checks for Sikocam
For this site Marcus verifies each published build on real phones: the install, the pairing flow on both network bands, live view start time, playback search, talk quality and alert behaviour. Settings are only recommended after they have survived a week on the test wall.
