It started off ok, but it does follow bugs that are close(so annoying), which causes a lot of alerts to go off and doesn’t catch a person all the time in frame. As mentioned by someone else, no alerts show up on your iPhone screen. You only get them if you open the app and are looking. And too many security risk as of lately, my WiFi service blocked them 6x this week alone. Had to pause WiFi connection to camera.( never had issues before I got this camera). I was hopeful, but now i am very discouraged .

This app used to control a camera which connects to your wireless network but can be controlled from anywhere. It is a simple but very functional app and the camera has some very nice features.That being said, It is difficult to configure especially the first time, but after the device is installed properly everything can be made to work. The process for initial connection is a bit unusual as well. One tip: if you have firewall protection turned on in your wireless modem then it will drive you crazy trying to get it to work. You have to turn off the firewall to make it work. It probably uses an undocumented port to communicate with a server or your mobile device. They should really document that, because it is very hard to diagnose if you don’t know about it.

Won’t send notification unless you have the app open. Won’t show me past events more the 24 hours ago, even though I have 53% free space on the SD card. Tried having it set up with scheduled recording and no scheduling, but still can’t see any activity more then 24 hours ago. My light does t work right if I have it set to come on with motion. It flickers on and off randomly. Works best if I just keep the light on at all times. It’s works great when I want to just check in on my house when I’m gone. Keep an eye on the pets. I like that I can move the camera around to see multiple angles and the video quality is pretty decent. I like being able to talk through the device to my kids if need be.

This app is horrible. I am a professional developer and solutions architect. There are several usability issues and settings don’t always take. For instance, the LED light I turned it on and then it wouldn’t turn off for nearly a week. I tried restarting the app and also powering off the light for several minutes. scrolling through videos on the timeline is a joke. The 2X and 3X will miss a person on the front porch in a heartbeat. Notifications on the iPhone never work no matter what settings you try. The only way the alarm goes off is if you’re using the app and the reaction time of the alert is way too late.
