this app is total garbage. what is the point of having cameras that you are supposed to be able to look at if the app is always messing up. we have to keep unplugging the DVR power for it to resend it to the phone. it's been the only way to fix it. the longest they have stayed connected is maybe an 1hour. now the camera system its self is great. the app is not

The app works ok, though being able scroll and pan on the feed would be nice. The kicker is when I exit the app, it continues streaming on my WIFI. I can see the indicator never turn off even after quitting the app. This drains my s9 battery asap - and means every time I use the app I have to reboot my phone after. App has a lot of potential, but its incredibly painful to use unless they fix the apps bogus resource drain in the background.

Most of the time my mobile app does not work. When I'm away from home I can't see my cameras it just brings up the black camera screen like it's buffering. Once in a blue moon they will work but not often. Don't know how to fix it. Would love some help if possible. Even when I have great signal strength (phone and wi-fi) it still doesn't work!!!
