Updated my zmodo software. Had to download this garbage instead. Home screen shows 8 boxes of red x's. when you press any it brings you to camera 1. Why show things you can't go to? Why not just a "live" button? it won't show anything until the internet speed picks up. Storing of live clips hasn't worked when I needed it. No video playback controls, it plays on its own, it has a helpful pause button, however it's pointless when you can't increase the speed by fast forward or rewind. You can't even use the slider to look through long clips. I feel ripped off, I payed a lot of money for my camera system, this is bullblank. I have the new crap version on my iPhone, I can't even get that one on my iPad. This company keeps proving that they aren't ready to be a real company when they show ridiculous customer support in text messages that may be answered maybe not, and can't help and never know how to help if they do answer. And most obvious is that they can't even keep a worthwhile app.

I just bought this camera for Black Friday, thank goodness it wasn't expensive. I just wanted to see if maybe I wanted to use cameras in my house so this is just a trial, however it's difficult to trial something when it doesn't work right. I use an iPhone and iPad. The camera seems to work live okay with a little bit of a lag time. When it comes to tying to check alarms you can't view anything from my iPhone or tablet. I can get on line in my computer but what's the point of that since I have my phone and tablet with me all the time. I started reading reviews and it seems like it's across the board. I did download another app Zmodo that has been much better. The lag time on camera is almost non existent and I can get everything on my phone, however I can't download that app to my iPad, so again still frustrated. If you are a going to put out a product that requires an app the app is KEY in making sure the product is a success. Please don't release a bad app. I will steer clear of all your product now because you didn't get it right.

I can no longer view anything "Live" if my iPhone is not connected to the exact same wifi network as the camera. What is the use of having this camera to view what's going on at home when I'm not home, when it will never connect when I'm on my LTE network?!? I had previously never had any connectivity issues but with the last update(s), I am no longer able to view notifications/picture captures and live feeds, which ultimately led me to buy new cameras from a better brand. What a disappointing product & utter waste of money. Do yourself a favor and spend a little more for quality. I will never buy another zmodo product again. The multiple poor reviews are for a reason.

If there were fewer than one star, I'd use that instead of the one star. The help function within the app doesn't even exist. You select it and it takes you nowhere. The app shows many alerts, from the home screen of my phone. however when you open the app, there are no notification- or they are simply unfound. There's no areas to look for it, it's not on display. Can never get support or help to determine what the problem is. The display of what is on the camera shows ok- but what good is that if it captured something and does not transmit to the app- only shows a red light for a notification that's lost in the abyss
