Connectivity
While the camera is very good, the application is very slow and inconsistent when it comes to connecting from a short distance.
Good Camera-Horrible app
The camera is great so far, but the app is not very user friendly at all. You can only use one email per device you install the app on so if you want to use multiple phones or add an iPad, it is a pain. Using the app on an iPad is awful because the screen is the same size it would be as on your phone. My dad has vision issues so trying to show him how to navigate the app to see live view or saved video is awful. The ai recognition is horrendous but ends up being kind of funny for how bad it is. House finch lands on feeder and I’ve gotten an alert for things like a Canadian Goose or wild turkey ha ha.

Bait and Switch
No mention of subscription, without which this bird feeder is useless for all intents and purposes. Fake Amazon reviews. Avoid.
Lots of features
Good app. Allows 1080p, 2k, 4k, slow-mo recording. You can change zoom 1x-4x. AI species identification with $4.50/mo subscription. Sound feature has bird chirps to call birds, talk to camera or alarm tone to scare off squirrels. Adjustable shooting interval to control number of videos taken. Many other features to customize notifications, log number of visits by species, etc. Crystal-clear videos. Don’t understand the bad reviews, really good app.

Good and Bad
The quality of the camera is great, but the app not so much. It takes forever to connect to the camera live. Also, they recently changed the interface. When you choose Timeline to scroll videos for a particular day, you only get about 30% of the bottom of the screen to scroll. The rest of the screen is taken up by the space usage notification and dates to choose from. It makes it very difficult to scroll through the videos. You get like one and a half, maybe two at a time.
