### 4/5 — 观看端不能启动采集端

*2019-08-04*

观看端不能启动采集端，希望改进

### 2/5 — 不好

*2018-09-11*

画质太差还不能调

### 1/5 — 测试功能不好，用着黑屏

*2017-12-28*

不好，短距离测试ok ，一出门到公司再打开就是黑屏界面。

### 4/5 — 挺好用的

*2017-04-24*

目前发现一点不足，就是观看端如果没有正常退出，采集端不会停止，会一直发送，下次观看端就打不开了，可不可以在观看端做一个强制停止的按钮，方便下次打开继续使用。

### 5/5 — 家中眼

*2015-09-17*

这款软件的确很好用，出门的时候不放心家里的狗狗如何就可以打开手机，一切都在眼中，赞一个

### 5/5 — 小建议

*2015-07-13*

别的程序需要摄像头时，无法自动转换，还得人工操作，能优化一下就完美了

### 5/5 — 好用！

*2015-06-21*

一下子办公室就变得安全起来了！谁看我文件我都知道。
不过建议像其他应用那样添加可以 [远程发言  ] 的功能，可以用来千里传音，还有[远程随时录制]的功能。
能不能录制的时候避免电脑的摄像头指示灯亮起？
还有你们的官网好像进不去了？

### 1/5 — Zéro

*2015-06-21*

Se ferme des l'ouverture

### 1/5 — Nul

*2015-06-11*

Ne fonctionne pas sur iPad, se ferme 1seconde après ouverture

### 5/5 — 为什么用过几天后手机端总提示电脑端不在线或没打开软件？？？

为什么用过几天后手机端总提示电脑端不在线或没打开软件？？？
