1. This does not happen on my wife's iPhone.The video feed constantly glitches out with weird lines and chunks of the video feed becoming blurry or disappearing completely for 20-30 seconds almost non-stop.
2. Not helpful for monitoring when baby cries if it's turned off! Also battery issue - even after I have killed off the app for the day, (not visibly running in the background) it seems to have a hidden piece still running and draining battery.
3. I know this isn't due to my internet connectivity either, this is a problem with the Android app since my wife has this on her iPhone and never has an issue with the video feed.The app is extremely slow.
4. It becomes incredibly frustrating trying to see if my baby on the feed when it's cutting half of the video out or has a bunch of lines through the feed.
5. After using this product for the past 2 years, I have learned that other camera systems are actually WAY more reliable.
6. It would constantly drop out and each time I would contact support, it was blamed on camera placement in regards to closeness to the router.
7. Anytime we try to use the camera at a friend's place it has never connected.It's not perfect, but it's overall a fantastic product and value.
8. But, until I compared it to other camera systems, I didn't realize how much more difficult and inconvenient it is.
9. It simplifies everything so much!! We can check in on the baby, we can play music, and we get alerts when they are crying! I have two notes that don't detract from the rating but I feel like would improve functionality.
10. Not to mention these won't work on a 5G network so any strong router upgrade is completely useless, rendering these ineffective.Works as I need it to.
11. Thanks for a great product!I love this app! I am a nanny and my family uses it, and by extention I use it, for my 4 month old charge.
