### 3/5 — Playback

*2026-08-06*

Overall the camera quality for my dual cruisers is great. However when it comes to video play back it all falls down. My cameras are not even a week old and one of my cameras hasn’t had playback at all! My second camera had playback and now suddenly dosent ?  Both cameras have 256gb sd cards in them and are both formatted correctly, the app shows that someone has been detected but I can’t wait it back as it pops up with “play error, tap to refresh”. I’ve rebooted the cameras and re formatted the cameras again but I still have no play back. Could this be a software issue?

### 3/5 — My camera

*2026-07-26, version 10.1.6*

Why does it keep going off and on on my pc

### 1/5 — Too technical

*2026-07-25, version 10.1.6*

If you don’t pay subscription monthly camera doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Sd card

*2026-06-27, version 10.0.6*

Wants you to buy cloud storage but offers SD card memory but never works even formatted them and changing them. 6 cameras don’t hold memory 
Real shame they would of been best cameras on the market if this worked

### 4/5 — Problème avec les notifications

*2026-06-27*

Plus moyens de recevoir de notifications lors d’une détection. Pourtant tout est correctement activé…

### 3/5 — Used to be great before updating

*2026-06-21, version 10.0.6*

Such a shame… if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it… !!! My cameras used to turn on alerts automatically when I left my house. Now it has to be done manually… which I never remember to do… apparently can set it up with Siri, but after several attempts and NOTHING happening, I’ve given up the idea 🤷‍♂️. Hope they sort this soon.

### 1/5 — New update is rubbish

*2026-06-16, version 10.0.6*

Since the latest update my video and audio aren’t in sync with eachother. We got this camera to capture memories of our little one and the footage is pretty much useless :(

### 2/5 — Something changed

*2026-06-15, version 10.0.6*

I believe the latest update ruined the possibility of arranging the cameras in the order you want them! No matter what I do I can not rearrange the order they are in. Also it was working fine and all of a sudden it stopped working and reverted to some random order. This happened last week and  the latest update 
happened around the same time!
Another problem is the cameras don’t overwrite the storage cards like most other cameras so you must manually format and delete the card every few days, a total pain in the butt!

### 5/5 — Imou

*2026-06-15, version 10.0.6*

So wonderful

### 3/5 — Device goes offline frequently

*2026-06-05, version 10.0.6*

After last update the devices go offline frequently. Lookalike loosing WiFi connectivity.
