As I worked at learning to use this app it struck me repeatedly that if I’d turned in a piece of software like this for a university computer science course back about 1991 I would have been lucky to get a passing grade! It’s not surprising that the resolution sucks; what is shocking is that playback has no speed controls — no double-time, no fast forward, no rewind, no replay , indeed almost nothing to make it user-friendly. If you want an app that’s thirty years behind the times in terms of usefulness, this is a great choice, but if you want something that works like it was written in the twenty-first century, go elsewhere.

The latest update moves several buttons to the same line as the search slider bar , on the recording replay screen making it harder to use. You have much more trouble locating a specific time on a recording, with a search bar now at about half its original size. Lets face it, you are trying to operate a remote camera on a small phone screen with your fingers. This was NOT a very good idea at all. You would also think that the spelling errors would have been corrected by now as well.

Edit: This app just gets worse and worse. Now subjects me to an ad I can't close for 5 seconds, then pops up another ad I have to close, displays yet a 3rd at at all times while using it. Would be tolerable if the app was more reliable, but it's not. About 1 in 3 or 4 times it simply hangs and I need to close it and re-open the app to monitor my camera. It's also gotten slower with more lag from real time, and more "reconnecting". Menus are poorly organized and written in Chinglish. For instance, there is an "arm" button, but pushing it disarms the alarm function. Hate that the new version pushes ads at me constantly, spams me with push notifications multiple times a day. Does seem more reliable than before, but now I hate it enough to consider uninstalling it and tossing camera.

the app disconnects from the WiFi often. I have to keep signing in before viewing. the use and controls are OK. the PTZ controls are very slow to respond and backwards on my phone. the audio and video are good. the app will not save recordings unless I pay for cloud storage. There is no phone app to desktop interface. there is no help available through the app.

Got it to work and am able to access it using mobile data however, after a few hours of working seamlessly with the alarm set with no audio, just have it light up by setting the light set to auto. It takes a screenshot when alarm is activated but no video unless you sign up at $2.95/ month with the damn cloud. I know it records it in the SD card but unless you sign up with the cloud you will not see the video. But after a few hours it goes offline and you have to turn it off and on to restart it

Returning 2 cameras. It seemed to be a good idea to add home security, but the camera device would not load to the smart phone. The ON-OFF feature on the camera could not be moved to a different position so it could not accept the activate instruction. As the directions instructed we had it within two feet of the WiFi . Sadened by failure. David & Nancy Richey
