There’s better options. Honestly a complete waste of money I can’t recommend. Do not buy…………🤬🤬🤬🤬

They constantly disconnect and basically impossible to play back anything. The app sucks and nearly impossible to use.

Devastated

February 2026 – I’ve used this app and camera for nearly 6 years. Recently, motion detection notifications stopped. Notifications were enabled and sensitivity adjusted, but no fix. After uninstalling/reinstalling, my security code (written down exactly) is now rejected. The interface feels outdated and needs a refresh. Developer seems inactive. Reluctantly giving it 1/5 – hate to abandon it, but it’s unusable now.

Needs updated

I’ve had this for awhile, just never took it out of the box. The app keeps freezing, it does record, it does notify of motion but the freezing and not recording makes it a waste.
