### 1/5 — Use Different App

*2026-02-07*

This app is constantly giving me issues, not opening, refused to load etc.

### 2/5 — Wed., May 17, 2023 WHY DID IT STOP WORKING?!

*2023-05-19*

Wed., May 17, 2023 WHY DID IT STOP WORKING?! WIFI working fine for other apps. Yes, turned WiFi on/off

### 1/5 — Not working

*2022-05-06*

I can’t view my security cameras on any of my devices today.  Please fix this asap.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-01-26*

Only connects to cameras when on-site, never able to get it to work when away which defeats the whole purpose..

### 5/5 — My clients love this

*2018-07-13*

CEC is very cleanly designed and intuitive.  I have installed it on hundreds of smartphones and continue to provide support for it across all the DVR models. Of course, the only real difficulty people seem to have it remembering their password.

The ability to screen shot turned out to be utilized far more than I imagined-so turning out a brief video clip to the photos folder would be great.

### 1/5 — Pls fix

*2017-04-01*

Pls fix not working since update

### 3/5 — App not working since update

*2017-03-31*

This app tries to connect to our cameras and just closes right away since the update recently.  Please check it.
Thank you!

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2017-03-31*

New update crashes upon successfully logging in to live mode. Previous versions worked fine.

### 1/5 — Poor search functionality

*2016-04-04*

This app works great for live viewing, but if you try to search for a previous time it never works. If pass until they fix this.

### 1/5 — Useless History search functions

*2016-01-26*

We purchased a video security system for our commercial building from Koorsen Fire & Security.  The system was supposed to allow viewing thru the Internet.   We were told to use this app with our iPads.  It is function for realtime viewing, but the Search feature that is supposed to allow looking at earlier times works very poorly.
