The app works ok. I can see my camera and access recordings. Event notifications arrive quickly. Some of the notifications have full width previews which are great, but not all of them. This might have something to do with the second issue I have. The app constantly has to log in, every time I open the app, it takes a few seconds to log in. My credentials are remembered and the log in is automatic,but I'm thinking that I only get image previews when logged in. Small but annoying issues.

If I wait 55 seconds it will finally finish the login process and populate my screen with my cameras. The app works better after loaded than the previous version, but gone are the days of quickly viewing my camera at the front door. It was so slow to login that I thought the app was failing--no it just takes almost a full minute to load. Synology, this unacceptable. You need to fix this!!!

Lost PTZ control/button as of a month or so ago. I have not experienced many issues through the years using this app, however, I recently logged in and noticed I no longer have PTZ controls on any of my PTZ cameras that were previously working as expected. **Update after dev response** Thank you for your prompt response, I found it after scrolling on the bottom menu. I would recommend that this button be moved back.(or at least the option to) As I use it often.

Hi Sir, PTZ function is now in the shortcut button list below the timeline area since the last update version 3.4.0. Thank you for the feedback. We will keep working hard to make DS cam better.
