New update sucks!

Most people who create new updates make their apps better, this loads suuuuuuper slow and you shrunk the size of everything it don’t even fit on an iPad .. absolute trash!

Not good

I have constantly reset the hard drive and then manually reset all of the cameras. Even contacted customer service and was advised that is what gets to happen. Should have gone with a different brand.
