Recent change made app worse
1) push notification no longer indicate the type of alert such as movement or sound. They are all just “alarms”.
2) The notifications are also missing the date and time. Since push notifications are not always delivered timely then this is a big miss of information.
3) push notifications are missing the thumbnail which is helpful to quickly determine if it is a false alarm
4) the new layout is wasteful: the page immediately opens the live stream of one of my dozens of cameras. I appreciate it better if I can have a faster page load with the list of my cameras and I can select either to open its live stream or its recorded videos
5) now it’s harder to find the recorded video of a specific camera as they are now aggregated into one list and you’ll need to then filter by camera
6) the list of cameras cannot be ordered as before. So now the app opens to a camera that happens to be the least important of them all
They need better UI/UX designer. This new one broke many functionalities and made it less efficient to get the info I’m looking for.
Skip august 2026 update
Sept 2026. Changed from a 1 star to a 3. I reacted to the new forced ad to get to the camera view up. Still don’t like it, but the camera view usually works. Occasionally the live view drops from 8 cameras to less or even none. Restarting the main box several times often adds some cameras back and sometimes they all come back. The time and date is almost always wrong. I suspect it is the main recording box not the app but who knows. I plugged it into a kasa WiFi switch so I can reset as often as I want from anywhere. So, bottom line, the app ads are annoying, the camera control box is more likely the main failure point, not the app. And yes, I guess the app people need more revenue to keep it working.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We understand that ads can be a change to your experience. To continue providing high-quality security features and maintain our cloud infrastructure without increasing subscription costs, we are exploring new ways to support our development team. We are actively monitoring how these ads impact usability. If you have specific suggestions on how we can make them less intrusive, please reach out to us at support@funlux.com so we can share your thoughts with our product team. Regarding scantily clad women at the bottom of the home page, are you sure they're not fully dressed? We've had several contacts of confusion from the image being small and people at a glance assuming it is inappropriate, but each time it's actually just been fully covered women where the dresses were vaguely skin color and at a glance it was assumed that was their bare skin. If not, please send us a screenshot so we may report, but based on previous confusion I suspect that may be the case here. Edit: Please reach out to the email above and we'd be happy to assist with your NVR. If it can't hold the time and date, it's CMOS battery may need replaced which is just a coin battery similar to what you may find in a watch.

Hi, AI is not a particularly good source of information and will often agree with whatever you're asking about. You should still be able to access devices normally post-ads, but if you're having trouble please make sure your app is fully updated, try reinstalling it, or otherwise reach out via support@funlux.com and we'd be happy to see what we can do to help.
