Clunky
The app is very clunky. Trying to pinpoint a time or event on playback is very frustrating. It often jumps back and forth and doesn’t scroll smoothly. Speeding up or slowing down playback doesn’t work either. Needs major improvement.
App is buggy
The app works but is extremely buggy. I have the IR setting disabled, but whenever I turn on privacy mode or there’s low light, it overrides the setting and enables IR anyway. When the camera comes out of privacy mode, it also triggers a motion notification, which shouldn’t happen.
The motion detection and notifications could use some improvement as well. My WiFi signal is good, so connectivity isn’t the issue. It’s really just the app that needs a lot of improvement.
Another thing is there’s a limit to recording direct. The max it will record is 10 minutes and cut off. This isn’t related to motion recording but the record button itself.
I was previously using Cloarks, but Anano is one of the few brands that support dual-band WiFi connectivity, which is why I switched.
The app could also benefit from quick settings such as Disarm, Home, and Away modes.

Worst camera
This is trash trash trash
Not Live 24/7
The camera is good but the application shuts off every 30 minutes and if you are watching a baby or an elederly through the night this is not the application for you, if you are sleeping you can’t wake up every 30 minutes to press continue. Needs to be open all night, so this is not good for babies or elederly

COMING FROM A REAL PERSON NOT AI.
Since I updated it logs me out EVERYTIME I leave the app and glitches when I try to get back in its bs. Don’t waste your $200 on the cameras that are connected to the app.
Videos Don’t Upload
I really want to like this. The device itself is so nice. However, the app is very buggy and about half the time the videos don’t upload even though I paid for the annual cloud subscription. The device is also fully updated as well. Not sure, but it makes me worry that if I truly needed footage of something, that it “wouldn’t upload”.

360° Cam
Ich hab 3 Stück davon und mit der App läuft es flüssig und alles ist schneller als bei der Konkurrenz. Bin Mega zufrieden.
Se déclenche sans arrêt
J’ai vu les avis positifs et ai acheté cette caméra de surveillance. L’image est vraiment excellente mais le problème c’est qu’elle se déclenche pour un rien sans arrêt. Elle détecte les photos comme des personnes. Bref c’est vraiment pénible à la longue et surtout on finit par ignorer les notifications tellement il y en a alors qu’un jour ce sera peut être une intrusion.

Update pop up glitch
I’ve updated to the latest version and it still pops up that I need to update.
Also, if I’m listening to Apple Music on my phone and then go into the app, it automatically stops my music. Lastly, I wish that I can see all the cameras at once instead of having to click each one every time. When my elderly mom walks from the kitchen to her bedroom I have to constantly switch camera views. Please make the app more efficient and fix the issues

Video Loading Issues
The camera works great and records good quality as needed. Its the playback that is a problem. App is updated, Camera has been unplugged, reset, and internet connection is basically 100%. Wont load recordings.
Pretty great app and hardware!
Anona must have started a new app or something because there were many more negative reviews before this one. That being said, I bought the smart lock maybe a year ago and was very disappointed as I could not get it to connect to the app and returned it. I saw that they consistently updated their app and decided to give it another shot. I now have four of these in my house, and they are amazing! They seem very high end, especially for what you pay. I highly recommend these.
I did some research and it looks like Anona is part of the Xiaomi umbrella, if that matters to you. They are as reputable imo.
I am just a normal parent trying to keep my house safe. Not paid, not sponsored.

Poor control of video recording to easily move forward or backward without having to struggle
I’ve been trying to find a way for being able to see the recording and it’s sad that there’s no option to easily move forward or backwards the recording with different speeds not just till 2X only
Response from developer
Hi Gasssaasosa, Thank you for your feedback regarding the video playback controls. We understand the need for smoother scrubbing and additional playback speeds beyond 2X. Your comments have been shared with our product team for consideration in future updates. If you have any further suggestions, feel free to reach us at support@anonasecurity.com. Best regards, Anona Team
Glitchy app, inconsistent camera
Camera continually refuses to record events. We’ve tried everything: rebooted, reset WiFi, ensured SD card is working. Returning to Amazon.
Tolle App und die Kameras sind ebenfalls empfehlenswert
Die App ist simpel aufgebaut, damit sollte jeder zurechtkommen. Gerade im Vergleich zu Platzhirschen wie Eufy und Co. Muss sich Anona nicht verstecken.
Worst cameras I’ve ever had
It’s constantly always loading for transmission line very unsafe if anything were to happen you’d be to late to see anything !
Hängt Ständig
Generell auch mit die Kamera tut die App ständig nur hängen ärgerlich grad bei aufgenommene Videos spielen die erste 2 Sekunden und dann laked es ständig
Can’t export videos
I should be able to export all clips to my computer. If the app can’t do that for faster playback, it’s useless to me. I view 24/7 footage and need to go through it quicker than 2x. App is glitchy too. Playback struggles
All good
Easy app. Works great. No complaints
I like the app but too many updates
The app updates like almost every day it works fine so why do we need 1000 updates every month
Good app, but missing backround audio or “mini picture” when using other apps
The app is good overall. The camera quality is good, the microphone works well, and the connection is usually stable. It does what it should when the app is open.
But for me there is one big problem: you have to stay inside the app to see and hear the baby. If you open WhatsApp, Messenger, Viber, Instagram, or watch a video, you can no longer hear or see the baby. There is no small picture-in-picture window and no background audio.
When you go back into the app, it takes one or two seconds to reconnect before you can see and hear again.
The app says it can send a notification when the baby cries, but for me that is already too late. If the baby is crying, I can hear it from the other room anyway. I need to see and hear when the baby wakes up, moves, or makes small sounds.
So the app is good, but for baby monitoring it really needs background audio or picture-in-picture.
