Random Devices Offline

Always have been an unhappy NVR owner. Funlux app is no different than Zmodo app but I prefer Funlux app because it has dark mode and the Zmodo app doesn’t or didn’t the last time I compared. Either way this company is geared to sell way too expensive cloud service. As an NVR Owner I’ve had nothing but problems. Currently several devices are offline according to the app but they are online and working according to the monitor connected to NVR. IF I WRITE AN HONEST REVIEW LIKE THIS THE PROBLEMS START GETTING WORSE AS IF SOME ROGUE TECH IS TEACHING ME A LESSON. Look elsewhere folks. This is not a reliable solution for a sovereign home network survelience solution. Nobody likes having to get a ladder to climb 15’ to scan QR Codes that some rogue Zmodo / Funlux tech keeps disconnecting to teach you a lesson for writing an honest product review.

Zmodo, Funlux, MeShare

So all three apps, and cameras, and NVRs, and cloud service if you are ultra wealthy, are the same company. I would prefer to use the Funlux app because it has a dark mode. However, it appears that only the Zmodo app is being maintained. Funlux app likes to not work very well and if I have to get disconnected cameras online it doesn’t work at all. Might as well use the Zmodo app. Meanwhile this company as a whole has not updated cams and NVRs since maybe 2018. They are getting passed up by other companies that offer more features and more affordable cloud service but I refuse to pay for anyone’s cloud service. I wonder if this company is fading away. Other companies claim much better night vision and more accurate motion detection alerts to actually be humans or animals instead of gnats and other flying insects at night and wind blown tree shadows during the day.

Probably Going to Cancel

This app was great years ago. Within the last few years, the notifications for detecting motion have been declining. There have been instances of it not even recording when someone is literally right in front of the camera, it didn’t give us notifications of deer outside - which is bad bc deer are big enough, and sometimes it won’t even notify us of things as big as cars out front! But it will give us notifications of little bugs flying around and the light change at dusk and dawn…bc that’s what we all want right? It’s not our cameras…we have more than 5 that all work fine, and I’ve tested whether it’s the camera or app and it’s definitely the app. This is absolutely unacceptable as this is basically security that people and families rely upon for safety and comfort. Unless something changes immediately, I’ll be looking elsewhere for something more reliable.

No Bluetooth

App works well cameras are good have had this app for going on 7 years. Suddenly one day a couple months ago the audio from the app will not play through my Bluetooth. Hope this gets fixed soon.

Stopped Working

The app stopped working. The cameras were good and it was a good purchase for many years. I was going to purchase a system for my parents but the devices are no longer supported.

Doesn’t work unless you allow location

The latest negative development is that the app won’t work well at all unless you allow the app to know your location. Seems like smart tech is becoming more and more like spyware to me.

Constant crash and bad audio

I had no problems before the latest update. Now, the app just freezes, has inaudible audio, or just crashes altogether and kicks me out of the app. I’ll change my star rating if this is fixed but as-is… it’s nearly worthless.

Functionality slowly ebbing away….

Worked great YEARS AGO, but movement detection started missing movement even after setting everything to Highest Sensitivity. Now I get sporadic Alerts at best (referring to this App, not the physicsl hardware/OS, that part works fine).

Now, as of Aug 10, 2022 I can’t access camera via this App anymore - temporary Server issue or incompatibility?

The Insight App still works, but prefer this if it would just do what it used to do!

Crap App

What the actual He(( has happened to this app???
No way to reset it when it logs me out. Just sits on a blank screen with the name of the app. No way to sign in unless I restart my device to get the app to reset. Also logs me out almost daily.
I did like it in the beginning but seems the developers or whoever updates the app has gone missing.

Disappointed and frustrated

The app is about the same quality as the hardware. After a few years of frustration I’ve ordered new cameras and found a better app. Looking very forward to deleting this app from my life.
