### 1/5 — Poor app and cameras

*2025-09-29, version 4.2.6*

App is very poor nothing functions correctly cannot get the cameras PTZ to function correctly Can’t get no live support. It’s all automated.

### 1/5 — Terrible software

*2025-08-29, version 4.2.6*

AI doesn’t work. Impossible to detect correctly human. Multiple false alarms and that’s about it. Good luck finding something. No foreword or rewind options.

### 1/5 — アップグレードしたら機能ダウン

*2025-08-09*

アップグレードしたらSDカード記録機能が大幅にダウンして　SDの録画が簡単に見られない。
他の物に買い換えます。

### 1/5 — So many problems

*2025-07-20, version 4.2.6*

When you enable push notifications they randomly stop working. You’ll receive the notifications for a couple of hours and then nothing. You have to constantly turn off and turn on the notifications again for them to work. If there’s motion dictation and you get a notification and click on it it takes forever for the app to open. It’ll take you to the live feed and show at the bottom why you got a notification but it doesn’t let you click on that video. You have to exit the live feed and go to the events section. They also never respond to you. I messaged costumer service 2-3 weeks ago and they still haven’t answered back. When you click on the message it says to be patient.

### 1/5 — Can’t even sign up

*2025-07-11, version 4.2.6*

It literally will not send confirmation emails

### 1/5 — Having Multiple Issues

*2025-03-17, version 3.9.7*

The first issue is one camera has no sound everything else works, but no sound. Second I do not get the alerts when there is movement on the cameras like I’m supposed to.

### 1/5 — No Camera Audio / No support

*2025-02-25, version 3.9.7*

No Camera Audio / No support

### 1/5 — T

*2025-02-24, version 3.9.7*

App will not open. I deleted the app and downloaded again and app will still won’t work.

### 1/5 — 使えない

*2024-12-12*

最初はなかなかWi-Fi接続されない。接続ができたと思ったら、ものの数分でパスワード入れないとみれない。パスワードを入れるが、パスワード間違いで見れない。パスワード勝手に変わったのかな。他の人に自分の情報をとられていそうで怖い。

### 1/5 — App needs to fix

*2024-12-11, version 3.9.7*

The app features are good , but loading time is to long . When I open the app it keep loading.

改善を早く

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE PEOPLE AND SERVICE

*2026-07-15, version 4.9.9*

My camera hasn't worked right from the beginning. They are saying that my signal is weak, yet it shows strong on my end. And it only stops recording from midnight to around 6:30 am! They refuse to give a supervisor, instead they end the chat. I have hours of screenshots of conversations with them! And look real hard at what you paying for on this "free" app, they are charging me for two conflicting services. Their response to everything has been go through APPLE for a refund! They act like scammers. DO NOT GET THIS SERVICE!

### 1/5 — 録画再生できない

*2026-06-19*

アップデートしてから録画再生しようとすると強制終了。
カメラの意味ないので改善してもらえませんか？

### 1/5 — BEWARE, HACKERS

*2026-06-17, version 4.9.7*

Upon setup, the app asked for my email AND my email password. I was exhausted from a long day at the time and entered it without thinking. That same night, my email was accessed from overseas and used to gain access to my Facebook and squarespace accounts, where the hacker used my linked payment methods to purchase a bunch of ads and domain names. Furthermore, they then intentionally posted content that got me immediately banned for life from Facebook so that I couldn’t go in and cancel the purchases. All this happened in the middle of the night while I slept. Whether the developers themselves were behind it or their security just sucks and makes it accessible to hackers, don’t touch this app with a ten foot pole.

### 1/5 — 3 secs to start the app!?

*2026-05-18*

It was fine until the ads started appearing.
Now I have to wait more than 3 seconds just to preview the security video.

What if there’s an emergency?

This change is extremely disappointing.
Because of this, I’m even considering switching to a different security system and camera manufacturer.

広告が入るまでは、とても快適に使えていました。
ですが今は、セキュリティ映像を確認するだけでもアプリを立ち上げて3秒以上待たなければなりません。

もし緊急時だったらどうするのでしょうか。

とても残念です。
このことが理由で、セキュリティシステムやカメラメーカー自体を買い替えようかと考えています。

### 1/5 — 広告

*2026-04-17*

導入した時はなかったけど、使い始めて半年くらいでアプリ立ち上げて直ぐにクラウドストレージ加入の広告を見せられる。今直ぐ確認しなきゃいけない時に５秒待たされるのは防犯アプリとして死活問題。

### 1/5 — Can't download videos

*2025-12-15, version 4.2.6*

Live feed is actually really good. But I need to download the videos to an external device and it literally won't do it. There's no way to export videos, only bits and pieces. My solution was to yank the hard drive out of the stupid receiver, a crazy inconvenient way to handle a simple task. Will never buy this again, but I'm stuck with it for work.

### 1/5 — Absolutely horrible

*2025-11-13, version 4.2.6*

The worst camera i have ever owned. Also customer support is non existent. Avoid this camera big time. A week later and camera stopped workibg. Dead as a door nail

### 1/5 — 認証さえできない

*2025-11-11*

一番最初のメアドを入れて認証コードを取得の時点で何度やっても送られて来ない。使えない。助けて。

### 1/5 — ZERO START

*2025-10-26, version 4.2.6*

Absolute garbage of an app.  Can’t say much about technicals because the app continuously registers my password as incorrect and locks me out of all functionality.  Resetting and reinstalling doesn’t work.  I’m kinda suspecting that this is a data mining operation, not a legitimate software.  Steer clear.

### 1/5 — Camera

*2025-10-25, version 4.2.6*

It keeps moving even though there is a person it moves away from the person and it supposed to follow them.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2026-04-22, version 4.4.11*

The app works amazingly well.   We had our for years.   Such clear videos and the playback comes in such handy

### 5/5 — 操作が簡単でとても快適

*2025-09-16*

とても使いやすいアプリです。設定も簡単で、直感的に操作できました。接続も速い、映像も安定しているので、外出先からでも安心して確認できます。

### 3/5 — Previews disappeared

*2026-05-13, version 4.4.11*

Before when a notification went off there would be a preview of what the camera saw. Now it’s just a notification without the preview. Put the previews back please!!

### 2/5 — Garbage app

*2026-07-27, version 4.9.9*

So the notifications when the camera detects something is nowhere near quick enough takes about 30 seconds to a min. Wow the criminal is in my house

Trying to activate live view on my phone takes a min or three. This is insanely slow

### 2/5 — Needs worms

*2026-06-18, version 4.9.7*

This app is a little confusing when setting up your cameras. It could definitely be simplified. The Jawa app for another style camera is very good.

### 2/5 — やや使い難い

*2026-01-09*

漫然と屋外を撮影をしているだけなら良いが、

### 2/5 — ...

*2025-12-15*

問い合わせしても一向に返ってこない。

### 2/5 — Notification too late…

*2024-12-27, version 3.9.7*

Cameras pictures is good. Only problem is notification to the phone too late, sometimes after motion detected alert late more 1 hour.
App need to be update.

### 2/5 — Urgently needs update

*2024-12-13, version 3.9.7*

This app has so many issues and urgently needs to be updated; give me the option to always view in HD I have unlimited data; why does viewing stop every ten minutes let me disable this; why does it take so long to load the cameras when both phone and camera system have a stable fast connection.

### 2/5 — Updates

*2024-07-07, version 3.6.6*

App crashes need update
