  • No More Notifications

    The app does not send anymore notifications. I guess it defeats the purpose of having an app and this device.
  • Ugh does not ring phone

    The doorbell should send a push notification to my phone. It was working for a couple of weeks then suddenly stopped working for both me and my wife. Re-installing app and resetting push notifications did not remedy the issue. I now have no way of knowing when people are outside my door.
  • No app support! No push notifications

    There is no app support for this app. The push notifications stopped around Sep. 2016 on all our Apple devices! Currently the app is useless.
  • Much improved

    This doorbell camera is now working quite well. I have had it for about a year and a half and the bug fixes appear to have finally taken root and fixed a major latency problem. In the last week, I have had two instances where delivery people have wanted to drop off stuff, or attempted to drop off stuff and I have been able to immediately (almost, anyway) connect over the Internet and have essentially fully functional two-way communication.

    While I was truly frustrated with this doorbell camera at first, it appears to be really working well now. My only current complaint is hardware, which may have been upgraded. My version does not have a true infrared sensor on the camera but uses LEDs to illuminate objects when two way communication is activated. Therefore at night without lights on it's hard to see what's going on.

    I also have this hooked into my video monitoring system and the feed is fine. Finally, it has hardwire power and Wi-Fi connection, and does not appear to have a problem. Overall working much better now than when I first bought it. Major advantage over ring or other commercial doorbells is that it does not require a subscription. At this point I would recommend it.

  • Not quite ready yet.

    Poorly translated from Chinese, means you have to decipher all the directions and prompts. Currently I can't delete a device because I need to "close the alarm first" -- I have no idea what that means. To me it means I need to delete the app and start all over again.

    Also there is no iPad app -- considering I spent $850 on the hardware for my business I find it upsetting that my intended use scenario is not supported.

  • Good idea, but...

    Now I had this for about 9 months.

    The main problem is that on an ad-hoc basis, the connection is lost as a result it needs to be reset (unpluged) every two weeks or so!

    Not sure what is wrong as there is no support!
  • Much improved

    This version is much more stable and seems to connect faster. Well done to the developers for sorting out the glitches in the previous version. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻
  • Can't work without Internet connection

    I am very unhappy, that buy this device, this app won't connect to device and work in proper way if you don't have Internet connection in you local network, but even you have Internet, this device work through Chinese cloud servers, which some times have awful speed!!! Maybe developer can make some changes in this app and make it work in local network without Internet, because I don't need push notifications to my mobile phone, it's enough if it will work with iPad which I use as controller of my smart home and it's connected to local network! !!!Developer pleas try to make local connection!!!
    Короче этот домофон не работает без интернете, локальной сети!!! А работает только через Китайские сервера что делает работу устройства не стабильной и глюченной

  • Good app, bed design

    Works perfectly for me. But the design looks terrible. You need to consider a design remake.
  • Brill

    Excellent app! Unlocks our automated gates and allows video and sound! :-) can we have a couple of tweaks please? Longer unlock than 99 seconds! When someone rings from the intercom a longer ring than just 1 bell ring, a switch for the led lights on or off and finally an unlock button on the app rather than having to do a code? :-)
