Ratings and reviews

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.

I've used the app for almost 2 years now. Ever since the update, it's been horrible! I can't get my phone to link with the app, so I can't view my cameras in real time! What is the point of being able to view your home while away from it, if the app won't let you view your camera footage? It says the footage is from 4 hours prior to the time I'm trying to look at! I've called customer service, they linked my phone with the app, the cameras worked for literally 5 minutes! Then back to freezing!

Update-June 23, 2024-It's probably time to find a new service provider. One with an app and system that function when it should. Same issues still. Much the same as many other reviews. Takes an unreasonably long time for the camera image to load in the app. It also takes too long for the doorbell to ring at home and in the app after being pushed. One other thing to note is not having recordings of events after they happen. Mysteriously, those are the only sections of the recording missing.
