Just got my new Ferret (Android based app). Is there supposed to be some visual indication that video is being recorded? Would also be nice if the screen "flashed" when taking a picture. I push buttons, and stuff happens, but I'm not getting a visual queue that anything happened. ETA: When not in silent mode, I can hear tones when the camera/video button are pressed. Would still be great to get visual indication of picture/video when on silent mode or in noisey environments.

Great functionality, video quality is much better than expected. But frustrating to set up. It would be nice if the manufacturer would have a FAQ somewhere, I ran into 3 issues: 1) Android app permissions - go into app settings and manually give it the permissions it needs 2) No video - try unscrewing the lens assembly 1/10 turn 3) No WIFI - some versions of Android will disconnect the WIFI because it has no internet access, tell it to stay connected when you get a notification

Great quality camera, the attachments are garbage though, I've had to glue the gold threaded end back on the small extension piece 3 times, I've only had this for a week! Camera constantly disconnects when you close your phone, causing you to have to turn off your wifi and start the process over each time you close your phone! Very annoying! There are a few issues with this device that need addressing!
