AlfredCamera Home Security app

What it is

Published by Alfred Systems Inc., AlfredCamera Home Security app sits in the House & Home category on Google Play. The short description reads: Remotely monitor: House, baby & pet from anywhere with walkie talkie & live cam. It is free to download.

From the Play description

It also states that “AlfredCamera is an all-in-one home security camera app providing more features than a expensive CCTV security camera system”. Another line from the listing: “It’s live cam with instant intruder alert is perfect as a security camera, baby monitor, nanny cam, pet monitor, dog monitor, and more”. The listing goes on to say “24/7 LIVE STREAM: Watch high-quality live video from anywhere with Alfred’s live camera stream”. One more point the description makes: “SMART INTRUDER ALERT: Get instant alerts when movement is detected”.

The description says: “LOW-LIGHT FILTER: Enhanced visibility at night for your nanny cam, pet monitor”. In the developer’s words, “WALKIE-TALKIE: Deter thieves, interact with visitors or pets, and soothe babies”. It also states that “360 CAMERA: Cover a larger area with both lenses”. These lines are the developer’s claims, taken straight from the store listing, not a hands-on test.

Where it falls short

The listing says it contains ads and offers in-app purchases, so expect to be asked for attention or money at some point. Also, one star ratings sit at 1.5%, a modest share, though that is still 15,040 people who were unhappy enough to say so. Check the screenshots and the most recent reviews on the Play page before you rely on it.

What the ratings show

Look at the bars rather than just the average. AlfredCamera Home Security app scores 4.69, but the spread is 80.0% five star, 13.2% four star, 4.5% three star, 0.8% two star and 1.5% one star, across 1,016,894 ratings. That is a lopsided curve in the good direction, with the bulk of people at the top.

Put differently, there are about 54 five star ratings for every one star rating, 813,345 against 15,040. The middle of the scale, two and three stars together, holds 5.4% of ratings (54,678 people). The listing shows 50,000,000+ installs, so the 1,016,894 ratings come from a slice of the people who installed it.

What the Play page lists

The listing shows last updated Oct 29, 2026, version 2026.21.0, Android 5.0 or newer, a content rating of Everyone and first released Dec 17, 2012. The Play page carries 7 screenshots, and the written description runs to about 626 words. Google Play labels it as one that contains ads and offers in-app purchases. There is no upfront price.
