### 2/5 — 不安定

*2026-02-15*

動作不安でメール設定していても、メールが作動しなくなった。

### 1/5 — いまいち

*2025-11-09*

録画再生に次へを追加してほしい

### 2/5 — All gone wrong since IOS 26

*2025-09-29, version 1.0.77*

In IOS 26, video seems to be inverted in the cetronics app, and turning the iPad does the opposite in landscape shows app in portrait but wrong way round and in portrait  the video is landscape but upside down there is no update available on the App Store, I have rest the camera. I even tried flip and mirror doesn’t help.
Upto this I would have given 5 stars, I have used this app with my Cetronics PTZ camera for about 4 years
What’s going on Cetronics

### 2/5 — Time for an update

*2025-02-16, version 1.0.77*

Unless I’m actively watching my cameras at the time,  none of the 8 CTRONICS cameras I have will show the video in playback.  I have restarted the cameras and get maybe one out of the 5 or 6 it has recorded that day to actually play.  Even when I download the videos they still don’t play.  Surely all six cameras are not having the same problem at the same time unless it’s a software issue.  I have iPhones and this problem began around IOS 17, so I believe an update is in order to make my video captures play consistently again.

### 1/5 — 接続不良

*2025-01-21*

何か物音がしてパッとみたい時に全然繋がらなくて使い物にならない。接続不良があまりにも多い。

### 5/5 — App works great

*2025-01-20, version 1.0.77*

This app does not deserve bad rap. Yes there is a learning curve using and mixing the different segments but once learned they work great together. Also the support group will tweak the app if needed by giving them the uid and setting password to the default of admin while they work. I have 6 of Ctronics cameras (different versions) which I use to watch my house and also for watching and record clips of wild animals at night. I get great recordings and photos. Love the app and love the cameras.

### 1/5 — App no longer works with modern authentication

*2024-11-10, version 1.0.77*

It seems Microsoft have moved away from basic authentication and the modern style isn’t support with the app therefore app is now unusable

### 1/5 — Don’t know how to connect to the Internet

*2024-09-27, version 1.0.77*

Don’t know how to connect to the Internet like at least put a description like a video on YouTube how to connect to the Internet

### 1/5 — カメラが近づくと接続され、離れるとオフラインになります

*2024-08-30*

カメラが近づくと接続され、離れるとオフラインになります

### 2/5 — Instable

*2024-06-09*

Beaucoup trop de déconnexion du wifi
Beaucoup trop d’alertes intempestives 
Manque la possibilité de remettre par défaut juste le réglage de l’alarme humanoïde 
Manque le cadre de détection sur les photos
