The Netvue Next app is not as good as the previous version. This version will pickup motion when a vehicle goes by and then label random objects as human or pets. It is not reliable , so I don’t even check it when I get notifications. For instance, a car went by and it notified me that a human was here. Turns out the human was a bird feeder. It will also just send notifications of motion and label my car that is parked. The previous version was a lot more accurate. I like the features on this app but the AI needs more work. I’m tired of the notifications for meaningless stationary objects. Please work on the AI. I pay for 2 subscriptions including AI and it is no longer worth it.

Recently I started being unable to access my Orb cameras feed remotely. When I’m on WiFi they load immediately in the app, but when I am at work I get “Error loading”. Netvue service tells me to reboot cameras and router which I already did, but have no fix beyond that. They asked me to download the new Netvue app too and enable precise location for whatever reason. Since nothing has changed on my end, the issue must be on Netvue end but they do not take responsibility.The new Netvue Next app is cluttered and not user friendly. Instead of taking me to the list of cameras it takes me to a cluttered screen and now I have to take an extra step to get to the camera feed. There is a saying “Don’t fix it if it ain’t broken”.Netvue should concentrate their productive energy on ensuring the service works well rather than on redesigning the app that everyone has gotten used to and adding questionable “improvements”

I have had many different indoor cameras. This is my second Netvue camera. I mostly use them as a pet cam for my elderly dog while we are at work. I have the regular orb and now the mini orb. I think the mini has a better picture (including great night vision) and it’s a lot clearer to hear for the 2-way voice (also louder). I love being able to control it with my Alexa devices and being able to go back to any time and see the camera. I wish all of the footage just saved to the app rather than an SD card, but that’s just my preference (I can still view the SD card through the app). Overall a great product!

I have 7 Netvue cameras at my house and I even convinced my neighbors to get them. Unfortunately even with the updated Netvue app “Netvue next” it’s still problematic. It takes 30+ seconds to load the camera, it freezes all the time, and the battery/solar cameras randomly goes offline multiple times a day. Ive moved my modem, I added wifi extenders and I’m still having the same problems I was having before any of the changes. My neighbors cameras do the same thing. I’m over it. I just want something that works consistently. These do not Oh yeah and on the solar powered cameras you can’t have continuous recording. It records for sometimes as short as 3 seconds then cuts off?! What a waste of time and money. They need to figure out how to have a more reliable system wether it be the cameras, the app, or both.
