### 1/5 — He spies on you

*2026-08-09, version 2.5.27*

Be aware, your privacy video will be stolen. The seller acted as a fugitive when he was contacted, he never responded to your demand. I would give it a ZERO star, never buy it !!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-07-05, version 2.5.26*

Straight up just doesn’t work and makes you enter all of your personal information. Sketchy app that doesn’t even work

### 1/5 — Why the adds

*2026-07-02, version 2.5.26*

I like the cameras and I like the applications but now this price integrated polios adds and that annoying because when you need to access the application to cheek the notifications you have to wait until the add disappear. I paid for this camera why would the app have adds that are not related whatsoever to the tops you needs. It looks cheap and I was going to buy extra camera but this makes it not reliable and efficient.

### 1/5 — Hors ligne

*2026-06-21*

Après avoir fait le job pendant 1 an ou 2, depuis 3 jours elle n’est plus détectée, en mode hors ligne et rien ni fait ! Me le faisait de temps en temps et revenait au bout d’une journée mais là je sens qu’elle a rendu l’âme… dommage 
Sinon qualité d’enregistrement médiocre, impossible de reconnaître la personne sur la capture d’écran. Je m’en servais pour savoir si le facteur laissait du courrier dans la boîte aux lettres

### 1/5 — IDIOT

*2026-05-29, version 2.5.26*

This scammer runs ads claiming that your phone is infected with viruses. What an idiot.

### 1/5 — Unable to connect remotely anymore

*2026-05-27, version 2.5.26*

I no longer can view it remotely. I get the error “network is not strong enough” this only started to happen after latest update. Also none of the notifications are in English

### 1/5 — Now I have to watch ads?!?

*2026-04-19, version 2.5.26*

I bought this camera and now there’s been an update and all of a sudden I need to watch ads before I can access my camera or live feed??

### 1/5 — Ein Stern ist noch zu viel !

*2026-04-18, version 2.5.26*

App kann mit demselben Account nur auf einem Gerät genutzt werden, ansonsten erfolgt Zwangsabmeldung. Zudem muss Kamera PERMANENT Internetverbindung haben - wenn bei einem Einbruch diese gekappt wird sind die Aufzeichnungen werden (denn erneute Anbindung erfordert Werks-Reset der Kamera). 
Fazit: Sicherheit und Täterermittlung = 0, Hard- und Software sind ihr Geld nicht wert!

### 1/5 — Pubblicità

*2026-04-18, version 2.5.26*

Già faceva pena, adesso anche la pubblicità.

### 1/5 — Werbung nervt

*2026-04-13, version 2.5.26*

Frechheit, dass man irgendwann beginnt einfach Werbung einzuspielen.
