Ratings and reviews

Goodnight. I have two M1B cameras and the app doesn't show the image of the cameras on mobile data internet at all. I've done a lot of things including reinstalling apps, resetting cameras and it didn't work. Another thing I can't get is memory card storage. What can I do to resolve it? I've already contacted technical support via email and nothing. I haven't been able to see the camera footage for two weeks when I leave the house. That is, it is not serving the most needed function.

November 2 update: The October 30th firmware update fixed the key problems with version 2.1.0.. So, I've increased my rating to 4 stars. [Prior review on October 26] v2.1.0 is not ready for prime time. The Zencam app was updated to version 2.1.0 on October 23, 2018. It's a classic case of two steps forward and one step backwards. The user interface (GUI) was refreshed but key functionality is not working properly yet (even after the scheduled server maintenance outage for the 24th to 25th). Key problem is that motion detection (MD) setting is misleading: turning MD off does not really disable, which can result in continuous microSD recording (as when TV in camera's field of view). A workaround: is to disable in iOS v1.2.1. Hardware good, just likely app software problems. Example, accessing MD setting hangs app for ~30 seconds, which does not occur in older Android/iOS apps.

Easy setup but inconsistent notification, limited advance features, as well as limits to use 3rd party / open-source software. (things changed lil after product desc. said it was possible but not rec. then recanted, l8r info surfaced to make it at least partially possible) Difficult to integrate with other cameras or sec sys not from the same brand. Havnt tested its security yet, but i rec. 2 use this 2 monitor not secure something esp. Local storage & expensive cloud storage.
