Live View works when it wants to

By alex_lgz (Pcmac user)

Just not quite up to par with other live camera systems & applications. Newest update made some new progress, just not enough unfortunately. I’ve installed and reinstalled everything from the app, the camera, updated firmware, you name it... I’ve even had to go thru the exchange process to have a new camera shipped thinking something was wrong with it. Same thing every time, works for 1-2 days then you get the wheel of death. “Establishing a secure connection with Camera”. Whether your on your home WiFi or not. Funny thing is you can review your recording even a minute prior, but not live.
Zero stars really

By Krpm1 (Pcmac user)

Can I give zero stars? Nothing but trouble since I first set up this camera. App is really only for the higher end cameras and the purchasing of the cloud storage is bate and switch what you actually get. Now after this latest update, camera no longer works. Nothing will log into the app, won’t connect to the WiFi and won’t take a wired Ethernet connection due to the fact that the camera came from the manufacturer without a name and password on the back of the camera (needed for a wired connection.) I’ve rebooted so many times, uninstalled and reinstalled the app a dozen times, NOTHING WORKS. So, I’ve only tried to use the camera and their laughable cloud service for 3 months and it’s been a disaster. No help after 2 weeks of contacting them. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY AS THEY HAVE SEVERAL BBB COMPLAINTS AGAINT THEM.
Would give zero stars if possible

By I'm THE GingerBradMan (Pcmac user)

Truly would give zero stars if possible. Every single other 3rd party app is more reliable than this app’s own app. (this app’s app consistently returns an “Establishing a secure connection with the camera” message...and never connects to said camera.) And, if you do get it to connect (I would say less than 10% of the time) it will not play video from SD card, meaning you must rely on their cloud service which works okay except that it does not include the 5 second pad for motion alerts...so, it rarely catches what actually triggered the recording. Have requested this several times, but it never seems to get fixed. Also, if you reorder your list of cameras, the wrong camera gets matched with the wrong name (and order) on a regular basis.
Unreliable

By FIII (Pcmac user)

This app is unreliable and annoying. Alarm alert notifications do not provide information regarding which camera observed unusual activity, requiring the user to open the app and check. Additionally, viewing of recorded alarm activity is unreliable, and sometimes impossible. Finally, the app requires frequent logouts followed by logins in order to receive alarm notifications. This is foolish. I can understand the automatic logouts for purposes of camera or app changes, but a user should remain logged in for purposes of alarm notifications. At the very least, if the user is required to log in, the app should provide a notification as such, rather than simply stop sending alarm notifications without informing the user.
