1. The app won't log in because it doesn't recognize the internet connection.This app is terrible! NO STARS!! It shows a pop-up that says "you must be connected to wifi or cellular tower to operate." I'm always on one or the other, if not both and it still doesn't work!...we have Cox Security for Business and it is even worse.

2. It gives a 'Not Connected' error message, even though we're at home, Connected to our WIFI and/or have full 5G bars!Very slow when trying to view live feeds from the camera, if it even loads at all.
