Ratings and reviews

Setup was pretty easy after I watched a you-Tube video on it. My problem is that when it detects motion, it takes a second or so to start recording and by then whatever triggered it is usually gone. Also motion blur is pretty bad when it does record. For example we had a neighbors car window shot out. I have a recording of it and you can tell its a truck but you cant make out the license plate number because of the motion blur (It wasn't going that fast). I cant figure out how to improve it because the documentation is so bad. I wish it would record 2 seconds before the the motion alarm is triggered and 20 or so seconds after the alarm (my ring doorbell does this) and have clear video. Does anyone know of a better app?

The app isn't very user friendly. It isn't a set up and go. In order to get the most effective use out of this app, it requires a lot of technical know how that the average person isn't going to know. For example, to set up sending images and recordings to an email while you are away requires more than just inputting your email. It requires knowing your smtp server and server port among other things. Things like that keep the app and cameras from being user friendly.

Worked great when I tested the camera when I got it. Installed the camera, opened the app so I could aim it properly, and it wouldn't connect. Tried resetting the camera, uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Wouldn't connect at all. Camera works fine as I can still access it with my computer in the web browser, but I cant monitor remotely. I can only assume something is goofy with the app.
