Ratings and reviews

I've had it less than a week and it was very helpful when I went out of town. Felt good to know I can still view my home and enjoy myself. Update. 10/18/22 as of recent the mobile app freezes while watching live. Sometimes it's too late to check the camera as I'm notified too late that someone is at my door. My kitchen camera will play live then a bunch of static afterwards. Not sure because I'm almost paying it off it now wants to start acting up but this is very frustrating.

Ever since the most recent app update, I can't view any of my recordings. I've always had issues with the live camera feeds freezing, but not being able to see my recordings is beyond frustrating. My neighbors dog was lost and I was trying to go thru my recordings so I could try and see if I could see where he went... Was I able to see any of my recordings? Not one! This is ridiculous and am borderline wanting to cancel my service that I've had for almost 5 years!

I cannot put into words how much I hate this app/system. We've had it for 2.5 years & honestly it just keeps getting worse. Cameras go offline constantly. The app freezes almost every time you try to look at anything. When it doesn't freeze & there is someone recorded, they are usually a blur or jump from one place to another. Or the screen becomes purple and doesn't record anything. The recording quality is horrible anyway. If you want to zoom in to see something don't bother. It's just a blur.
