Mevo - The Live Event Camera

In my initial days of live streaming, I could never get a good shot of myself and would cut parts of my body from the video. With the wide angle lens of the MEVO, I am always in the video. Camera setup is user friendly for the blind and the App is very accessible. I always recommend it to sighted and blind people alike. Thanks a trillion, becaus I could not adequately live stream without it. I still prefer to use the MEVO camera in spite of problems with the APP. Since one of the APP updates, I am still unable to add titles to any stream except You Tube. Adding a title to FaceBook and Periscope was simple for blind users on the earlier APP; However, now it is seemingly impossible.I have searched for help everywhere, but without results. I am using the Voice Over screenreader on the Apple Iphone for blonde users. This accessibility feature works great with the MEVO APP except provisions for titles and ending a stream. I slide from the (A) to end a stream, but the APP is non-responsive most of the time. A simple “end stream button” labeled for blind users would be better for blind users. Through it all, I appreciate the developers of this great camera and APP!

Unfortunately, this camera is very unreliable and very difficult to get hooked up. Many times the screen on the iPad goes blank while recording live. Sometimes we are not able to record our lives church services because we cannot get the camera to connect. We have tried using Apple phones, iPads and even Samsung phones, but to no avail. We even changed our internet provider to have faster, more reliable service. We added a WiFi extender to give a stronger signal...but none of these things worked out. Therefore, my two-star rating, which is probably a little on the generous side...because I don’t want to be too hard on them...maybe I should. I really feel as if we wasted our $700 and wish we could get it back and use it towards a better camera system. It’s disappointing that companies sell products that really do not function properly.

The software does what it says and it does it very well. I use it professionally on a weekly basis. Mevo is a paradigm shift from computer to cellular based live streaming. Gone are the heavy cameras, laptop stations, and cables. I find it truly worth the investment. I do have two issues with the software. The face detection in auto mode likes to lock onto things that are not faces... Thus it likes to cut to strange angles sometimes. Also, be careful with finger placement, touch the screen too long and the camera jump cuts to wherever your finger is... Usually ruining the shot. I would really like to have the ability to turn this feature off!! Hint-hint Mevo. All that said, Mevo is truly an amazing live streamer. Nothing compares to it in its price range.
