Ratings and reviews

I have used this for over a year with only a few problems (usually nothing a power cycle couldn't fix). But as of 2 days ago, my camera disappeared from the app, and it keeps telling me it's a "Network Error". I checked all connections, permissions, and updates, but it still refuses to work. Now I can't even long into the app anymore! I am extremely frustrated with this app and camera.

Very straightforward to set up and start using! The only hiccup is that some symbol characters aren't allowed in the device passwords. Single quote, quote, colon, and semicolon at least. Understandable, but I had to use a simple password just to get through setup, and then fiddle with the longer password later to figure out what wasn't working.

Has been working extremely well for more than a year. My only complaint is when I open the app trying to quickly view my camera to catch something. That's when it seems to take a long time to display the video, live. It's like when there's no activity in the cameras view, it loads and plays real quick. But when there's something there, it struggles for some reason.
