The empowe app was easy to install, use, and invite my husband to share. We have the 16 camera system, and I especially like the ability to snap pictures/videos without looking all over for them. They immediately loaded in my pictures and gallery apps in addition to the empower app. The detection page is awesome. I now go there to view first before using playback. It's great having the ability to listen during playback. Great system.

For the most part, the app works well with the exception of viewing ALL cameras at once. It fails most of the time only allowing 2 of my 4 cameras to connect. In order to get all cameras to connect for viewing requires me to restart the system. Even after the restart, it may work for about 4-6 hours.

This app is awful! I have to keep clearing my storage for it to work. The cameras are not as clear at night as advertised. if I have notifications on it picks up things and says human detected. I am very disappointed with this system especially the app!
