Ratings and reviews

I would give 5 ⭐, but clip recordings are lagging bad! I tried to view the recent motion clip, but it will show me an old clip that was hours ago and I can't view the recent clip! I don't know if it was due to the recent update because previously, it was working great. Now when I need to view a clip, it's not available. Also when someone rings the doorbell, I won't get a notification until like 5-7minutes later. If needed for an emergency, that is not good!

Automation is very limited. They SERIOUSLY need to add an option you turn on Home mode and Away modes automatically based on the time of day. As of right now, the only way to turn them on is manually, or with geo fencing, which requires you give it unlimited access to your location on your phone which kills your phone battery. please add this option and i will update my review 🙏

Huge delay in notifications! Someone will come to my door and it may be 2 hours later I get a notification! I'll get notifications when there is nothing there. I've made so many adjustments and they still go off. Not to mention the batteries drain so fast! I bought these because of the Ring monthly monitoring cost. Huge mistake! I will be reinstalling my Ring doorbell and cameras because they were very, very reliable and the picture was so much better!
