Remote access for go1984 servers — functional but dated and sparsely reviewed
iGo1984 HD is an iPad client for the go1984 video surveillance system that lets you view multiple servers and control PTZ cameras and IO outputs remotely (requires go1984 server v3.8.1.5 or newer), but the app is small, rarely updated in public listings and has very few user ratings.
The iGo1984 HD is designed to operate exclusively in conjunction with go1984 video surveillance software version 3.8.1.5 or higher. For optimal performance and full-feature support, it is recommended to use the latest go1984 version available.
go1984 is engineered for professional and reliable video surveillance and recording. Its user-friendly interface, combined with a comprehensive set of functions at a competitive price point, aims to set a new standard in surveillance software. The software encompasses all essential features required for professional-grade video monitoring and management.
The iGo1984 HD device connects seamlessly to your go1984 web server via WLAN or cellular networks such as GPRS, EDGE, or UMTS. Additionally, it supports multiple server connections simultaneously, enabling access to various go1984 servers to monitor cameras across multiple locations concurrently. PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras are compatible and can be controlled effortlessly through this interface.
An integrated IO interface facilitates remote control of go1984 functions, such as activating alarm systems. It also allows activation of outputs within go1984 to remotely manage devices like lighting, window blinds, or security alarms, providing convenience and enhanced automation capabilities.
The iGo1984 HD includes push notification support. When a new alert is received, the application can automatically launch in response to camera-triggered alarms. These notifications are customizable per camera and can be scheduled for specific times using individualized scheduling options.

Pros
- Designed specifically to work with go1984 VMS — tight integration with the go1984 server (requires go1984 v3.8.1.5 or newer) ensures compatibility with that platform's features.
- Supports remote connections over WLAN and mobile networks (GPRS / EDGE / UMTS), enabling remote monitoring from varied networks.
- Multi-server support — can connect to several go1984 servers simultaneously, allowing access to cameras across multiple locations.
- PTZ control supported — remote control of movable (PTZ) cameras is available from the app.
- Integrated IO interface — can trigger go1984 alarm functions and outputs remotely (e.g., lights, blinds, alarm activation), offering home/business automation control.
- Small app footprint (≈13.1 MB) — lightweight download and storage requirements.
- Free to download — no upfront cost listed in the App Store entry.
- Vendor provides formal support channels — email support, HelpDesk ticket system, phone hotline (with listed hours), and remote support via TeamViewer are available for go1984 customers.
- go1984 desktop/server software offers a free test version — useful for evaluation before committing to a full deployment.
Cons
- App is tightly coupled to the go1984 server — it is unusable without a go1984 backend (not a standalone camera viewer), limiting applicability to users of that specific VMS.
- App listing has very few user reviews and a low visible rating (2.0 from 1 rating), which may indicate user dissatisfaction or lack of recent adoption.
- App appears dated — supported mobile network list (GPRS/EDGE/UMTS) and lack of mention of modern protocols (4G/5G, WebRTC, modern authentication) suggest the app may not have been actively updated for current mobile environments.
- App is described as 'Designed for iPad' — may have limited or no native iPhone support or adaptive UI for modern devices.
- Limited information in the App Store listing about security features (encryption, authentication mechanisms) and privacy — unclear how secure remote connections are.
- Support hours are limited and vendor asks that customers use latest software versions for free support — this could be a hurdle for users on older deployments.
- No mention of modern conveniences like push notifications for alarms, cloud relay/fallback, or integration with other smart-home/cloud services.
- Small app size and sparse App Store metadata may reflect a minimal feature set or lack of recent enhancements/documentation in the mobile client.
