What users are saying

1. It initiates an auto response email with information completely unrelated to the app or any of it shortcomings.Latest update has made the app slower, videos load slower, you can't speed up the playback to get through a clip faster, and why in the world have you not fixed notifications so they work better? When I get a motion notification, I should be able to click on the notification and it should take me to the clip or a screenshot of the motion on the camera.

2. But what's the point of this if I WANT TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON IN MY HOUSE WHEN I AM AT WORK OR OUT!! Fix this!! It's annoying and truly frustrating as a mom.Update is horrible, when viewing on a phone or tablet the images no longer rotate.

3. I get all 4 cameras showing easily, tip my phone to the side, and the cameras remain as if the phone is upright leaving the camera view sideways.Terrible app that basically renders the entire system un usable.

4. Instead it still just takes you to the app where you have to dig through it and then scroll through the video to find it...?This isn't bad for being free but it does cut out a lot! I thought maybe it was our internet but after having everything checked it seems to be the app, majority of the time it says disconnected, it wasn't too bad until it was updated now it's more frequent and the picture isn't that great.

5. I would recommend it if ur not in a bad area other than that I've got robbed 3 times but the picture was so bad and so short it couldn't be usedThe only reason why I gave 2 stars instead of 1 is because this is great when it works, but it simply has not reliably worked for over a year and it has been "disconnected" for months.

6. The latest change will not allow me to view all 4 cameras at once in a portrait format while holding my phone in said fashion.

7. Love my system and wish IT people would stop "fixing" what's not broken.The new update sucks!! It won't load! You can barely see anything anymore.

8. By the way, the ratings for this would probably be lower if those in beta (desperate for the latest updates) had public ratings.This app used to be great before the most recent update.

9. If it's not broke don't fix it.This latest update has made the app much slower and also will not zoom in as far.

10. Works well when I see my cameras on my phone from home when i am connected to my own wifi.

11. Fortunately, I've moved on to a redundant setup with a different brand that I can actually rely upon, but I'd like to have this system I spent hundreds of dollars on to actually work.
