### 1/5 — Aplikacja dosyć ograniczona i z błędami

*2022-08-31, version 2.7870.19*

Nie polecam aplikacji ani produktów Brinno (które same w sobie nie są dobrej jakości).
Urządzenia Brinno nie są tanie, a więc spodziewałbym się znacznie lepszej jakości aplikacji.
Niestety przeglądanie plikow jest dosyć mozolne (przeglądanie tylko po datach, a nie np. z widokiem miniatury zdjęć). 
Nie można oglądać sekwencji zdjęć a'la video.
Nie da się powiększać ani zapisywać zdjęć na telefonie.
Nie można mieć podglądu live poprzez aplikacje w trakcie wykrycia ruchu/robienia zdjęć przez urządzenie.
Przy dużej ilości danych na karcie SD wystepuje błąd wczytywania poszczególnych zdjęć, który nie ustępuje nawet po kilkukrotnym otwieraniu sekwencji zdjęć.

### 1/5 — Nie działa

*2022-07-24, version 2.7870.19*

Aplikacja po kilku tygodniach przestała szusując. W ogóle nie da się uruchomić listy plików czy funkcji capture, a funkcja livd view zadziała raz na kilkanaście uruchomień aplikacji. Za każdym razem jest komunikat, że kamera jest offline, co nie jest prawdą. Wyrzucone pieniądze w błoto na tak działającą kamerę z aplikacją.

### 1/5 — Push notifications ?

*2022-05-14, version 2.7870.19*

Major issue with lack of push notifications on a second or and third device.
Of course first there has to be solved the problem of no push notifications on the primary device!

### 1/5 — The worst app ever

*2022-04-30, version 2.7870.19*

Totally does not work. It’s a different version from the one on TouTube.

### 1/5 — App stop sending push notifications

*2021-12-23, version 2.7870.19*

After the update the app stop sending push notifications whenever a move was detected. And in iPhone settings -> notifications, the app doesn’t even have a notification option. But previously it did.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2021-11-18, version 2.7870.19*

I can’t see the files after updated the app

### 1/5 — poor connection

*2020-08-23, version 2.6164.2*

Always cannot connect to the camera via the app

### 1/5 — Basic functions do not work

*2020-08-05, version 2.6164.2*

After pairing it with a motion sensor the basic functions such as accessing the image files on the camera and Live View stopped working.

If you’re a homeowner looking to improve your home security I’d advise you to steer clear of this product (SHC1000W) and wait for something else instead.

### 1/5 — Przestała działać

*2020-08-04, version 2.6164.2*

Aplikacja po miesiącu przestała działać nie funkcje Live View, File czy Capture nie działają...

### 1/5 — “Please wait”

*2020-04-27*

The app is terribly slow to load. Every time I load the app and click ‘live view’ is says I have no camera selected. Clicking it again clears the error. The footage has terrible latency which comes in spurts. If you need to quickly check who’s at the door this is not the app to do it.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy Brinno products

*2025-12-14, version 2.10178*

many many problems such as wifi connection,sensor very sensitive.
take long times to connect but always can’t connect.
Apps no renew new version even no any improve after update

### 1/5 — Almost never works

*2024-08-01, version 2.10178*

This app is broken and it appears all development for it has been abandoned while the company still shamelessly sells the product.

### 1/5 — Old and not updated app

*2024-07-06, version 2.10178*

It’s a pity, that this app has been forgotten by creators 😟😟😟

### 1/5 — ..

*2024-04-07, version 2.10178*

Looks like intern could have done a better job developing this app. Worst developer ever. This app looks like built in early 2000s, or the developer is not synced with technology in last 15-20 years.

### 1/5 — Bad app bad company

*2023-08-28, version 2.9953*

It takes more than TEN months for the technical department try to offer a solution for failed notification function.🤦🏻‍♂️

### 1/5 — The app needs to be updated & please provide the open API

*2023-07-30, version 2.7870.19*

The app needs a solid upgrade. It would be ideal if the manufacturer could provide an open API - then it would be possible to add some meaningful integrations, e.g. with HomeKit.

### 1/5 — Still NO PUSH NOTIFICATIONS!!!

*2023-05-05, version 2.7870.19*

Despite of having informed the company for the major problem of lacking notification and their reassurance for fixing this prior to 3-4 months now, the issue remains unresolved!!! So much for the money spent and for a camera with low resolution as also for a huge problem of no immediate response of movement sensor!!!

### 1/5 — Notification

*2022-11-25, version 2.7870.19*

The notification function of the IOS apps is out of service since Oct.  Per technician, still need time to fix but now already near 2 months.  What a rubbish apps, no apps pop up function means the door cam is useless.

### 1/5 — No Face ID support, overall low responsiveness

*2022-09-20, version 2.7870.19*

This app is the poorest one I have on my device.
I have to retype my login & pass every time, it takes minutes to display a single photo, it has no filtering options.
I am very dissappointed

### 1/5 — Gunwo

*2022-09-01, version 2.7870.19*

To oprogramowanie to jakiś żart.

### 5/5 — Does what it says

*2024-05-17, version 2.10178*

App and camera work fine, does what it says and is still being updated.

### 3/5 — We’ll See

*2024-11-21, version 2.10178*

To be fair, the set up is fairly easy but I managed to stretch it to an hour. And ten minutes of that was thinking the peephole extension through the door hole was too short, only to find a longer one in the box after I found I could use the existing peephole extension. My bad. That said, it was a pain to connect to the app. Had to reset my WiFi key because it had characters that this tech wouldn’t accept. This started a round of “forgetting” my WiFi on all the home devices, so I could alter the WiFi key to work for this. That was most of the hour. 
A previous review mentioned the notifications onslaught. After I connected the device to my phone app, it flooded my email with notifications of “activity” outside my door, with pics. That would be great if anything was happening. As it was, I got 20 emails in less than an hour, with 80 pics of my neighbors closed door…no activity. I turned off the notifications, but I’ll update later on what happens.

### 3/5 — Discreet camera… unreliable app

*2022-03-17, version 2.7870.19*

The app will work… although I had a few hiccups trying to get it to. Brinno tech support will respond within a day… but my problem with the app ‘no camera selected’ somehow sorted itself out on its own before I could try their suggestions

My biggest complaint about the app is that it will log me out several times in one day (and other days not at all)

Meaning if I hear a noise at my front door, it takes me too long to be able to view whats going on

The log on page doesnt have an option to save info or stay logged on… leaving me to frantically type out my whole email address and password when I need to view whats going on

In a situation where discretion is a must… this is the best front door camera Ive found. It’s barely noticeable as being different than the standard peepholes other units in my building come with

The camera itself is very reliable about capturing peoples images as they come in the front door (I now have 100 photos that make it look like Im breaking into my own house lol)

The live view from the app is slow and sometimes unavailable

### 2/5 — This app needs some development love

*2023-01-22, version 2.7870.19*

I won’t be too wordy with this since I don’t own the unit but this app NEEDS TO SEND NOTIFICATIONS. Emails are nice but I am shocked that immediate notifications are not an option. Now I could have missed something and if I did I’d love some guidance.

Also why can’t the motion sensitivity be adjusted? This would be ideal to cut down on unnecessary motion senses and tons of emails.

Finally no way to look at your profile on the app? Just seems weird.

### 2/5 — Poor apps

*2020-12-04, version 2.6164.2*

1. The cam specs didn’t show WiFi standard support, such as WPA2 (AES/TKIP)
2. Whenever the cam is operating, it cant open image thru the apps, it alway show “offline”
3. Reconnecting issues, whenever restart the cam it show no WiFi connection until some days it auto attached
4. If it is disabling some IOS alert, the whole app goes vain.

### 2/5 — app is poor

*2020-08-03, version 2.6164.2*

please update this app. 
poor connections 
always unable to access live views or stored files from the app
