Top Pcmac Reviews

Closed functionality - designed around needs of a mobile app

By Genesismaster (Pcmac user)

A lot of the features to this application seem closed off. For example If I open up a stream to view a video feed, I’d like it to stay open, instead I’m fighting with the timeout all day long. Much of the design seems to be focused on providing you quick access to the featues, which is excellent… good job… but What I NEED is to see the video. I can’t resize the window to say… just see the video, (on a desktop computer) make it stay on top of other applications, and I can’t make it full screen without having to view the onscreen controls. It’s definitely a work in progress towards a good solution, but since I can’t access the video stream any other way than through this application, I’m going to have to ask for more, before I rate it higher.
Works okay, bad connection and keeps cutting out

By 9600baud (Pcmac user)

It does an okay job as showing you all your cameras but it often cant connect or times out. Plus on top of the connection issues, it keeps purposely disconnecting you unless you press some prompts. Please just stop that. Why would i need to keep clicking on something thats meant to be for monitoring? Of course I want to be connected dont ask me.
Yi Home 1080i Camera

By Alanroseman (Pcmac user)

This could easily be a 5 start review but for a one issue which gets the the app camera experience off on the wrong foot. The the app only works with a 2G network, that in and of itself is not reeally a big problem.. The problem arises when you go through the setup process. The the app immediately selects the nearest 5G network, and there is no way to simply "select" another network in your home or office which is operating at 2G. I have now done this at two locations, in each instance I must: 1. login to the router 2. Diable the SSID of the 5G network 3. Go back to the setup and now select the 2G side Not sure why the the app camera is so intent on grabbing a 5G network that it can not use or connect to. Not sure why the app does not allow the user to choose a network which appears in the WiFi list the ame way Honeywell and Nest and other companies do. The camera is very nice, the quality is excellent and with the addition of a micro SD card the storage is perfect. The iPhone app is also top shelf. the app please fix the setup issue! Either have the camera connect to 5G, or let the user choose a network, or simply elininate the cameras ability to "see" a 5G network. thanks for looking...
Works Flawlessly

By Officecall (Pcmac user)

Currently the app is ahead of the curve above everyone else in quality, realiability, features and cost. I really don’t understand why this doesn’t have better reviews when the iphone app has a perfect rating. Tried this app just to see how well it works because I own Amcrest camcera’s that work great except they don’t have a good way to view them online or on computer. All you have to do is connect the camera with your phone then sign into the app on the computer. Done! Camera’s on your account display with exactly the same amazing features as on the iphone.
