Sighthound Video User Reviews

Top reviews

Decent app; nice that it's free.

Pretty unreliable connection issues. Pretty sure it's not my setup; I just can't rush your taps between screens or you'll have connection problems.

The push notifications don't actually bring you to the alert that triggered the notification.

Not a hugely impressed with Sighthound for my 2 camera home setup. Not too much to complain about, but not too much that is really exceptionally done either. I suppose the object identification is "decent".

Good, Not Great

Seems to work good, but why does it take so long to load an individual camera? The multi-cam view loads very fast, then you tap a camera and it takes 10 seconds! Also I am unable to view live video outside my network, can't figure out the port settings. Unable to create new rules from the app, have to use the computer app (which is very limited)
Hope this has updates coming!

Works Great!

The app works great for viewing my remote cameras. I docked it one star just because I am not able to view the entire timeline of the camera, but I can still see the clips and alerts, change rules, and view the live feed. I am sure the devs will continue to work on the app. I really like both the app and the desktop software! Keep up the good work!

Promising

Real shame - the VitaminD promise was so great. However, the app is still slow and clunky, doesnโ€™t support any form of real security, and doesnโ€™t allow connection to multiple locations.

Investment seems to have been in enforcing licensing, and preparing to drag more money out of people - rather than making basic features compelling.

Works great. Need a native iPad version.

A native iPad version or a universal app that is more than just a 2x version of the iPhone layout would be amazing. Other than that the app does exactly what it needs to do!

Poorly implemented - needs local host IP number to work

Works well but it requires the IP number of the remote computer to work. Since IP numbers often change this can disable the app until the new remote IP number is determined and entered into the configuration.

This app needs to be re-written to coordinate with Sighthound servers for automatic IP number determination.

Works great out of the gate

I am a big fan of SightHound, you guys have taken Vitamin D to the next level. One quick request: landscape mode.
