### 1/5 — Motion detection

*2026-07-30*

Doesn’t detect anything, when cars pull up into our driveway the camera doesn’t sense them. Not even people who walk on our property. Right now I can’t even go on the app because it keeps kicking me off! I try to look at previous recordings and it says that it didn’t save.. the only thing it captures are ghost apparently. The wake up time is annoying, like just take that away . Literally just get a cheaper camera and you’ll get better quality.. I need my money back. Like it pisses me off so bad because it never captures the cars/people on our property! Might as well not even have a camera! It’s a decoration.

### 3/5 — App freezing, not opening with latest update

*2026-07-05*

With new update, app is freezing, will not open. Has always worked previously.

### 2/5 — Decent at best

*2026-06-29*

Slow response time and the app keeps crashing so now I can’t even check the cameras. And when the trial period ends they hit you with the subscription fee.

### 3/5 — Slow response to motion detection

*2026-06-23*

I manage security at a large industrial site. I purchased this camera for its high rating but it’s not all it’s advertised. The lens clarity is great and the app is relatively easy to figure out, but the camera misses recording incidents that others witness live.

### 1/5 — ؟؟؟

*2026-06-13, version 2.3.5*

This update is extremely bad; please review it quickly.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2026-06-11, version 2.3.5*

App is extremely slow. I check activity then it says file not found. Worst app ever

### 3/5 — Cannot update Firmware

*2026-06-08, version 2.3.5*

No option to update firmware. My 5 Cameras all go off line over 2-4 weeks. I have to get a ladder out and turn off then on again all cameras beaut or reset them. Most annoying. 
Plus need an option when the camera is activated, only want flashing lights. No siren. 
ATM you can only have siren and lights flashing. 
Please add this.

### 1/5 — Do not buy this camera.

*2026-06-03*

Terrible camera, other brands available for half the cost that are higher quality

### 5/5 — لماذا لا يتم تحديث البرنامج بانتظام لتحسين الأداء؟

*2026-06-01, version 2.3.4*

يحتاج البرنامج إلى تحديثات دورية لتحسين أدائه مع الكاميرا ولإصلاح الأخطاء والمشاكل التقنية.

### 2/5 — Motion detection needs great improving

*2026-05-22*

I bought this camera for Security purposes and the motion detection response time is garbage!!  

The camera activates the motion detection long AFTER the moving vehicle, which is going through a self opening gate that takes 30 seconds to open, and the camera STILL MISSES THE VEHICLE MOVING FROM BE STOPPED AND WAITING ON THE GATE TO OPEN!

The camera only records AFTER the vehicle has passed under it at 2 mph...

I am a handicapped grandma, who walks with 2 canes and a walker, and I can move faster than this pathetic motion sensor picks up and records on this expensive camera!!

I want to know how to change the settings for this motion sensor and the camera to respond faster on FIRST SITE OF MOTION at the gate, instead of this pathetic excuse of the camera taking 45 seconds to wake up to record!!

I bought this camera for the Cellular connections but the extreme limited setting for this pathetic motion sensor and camera record settings is the worst.

This software needs settings to set the motion scan area, a far better response time to record on the first sign of movement to record ALL of the movement, not 45 seconds AFTER the fact.

The ONLY time I can catch the gate opening and the vehicle passing through the gate AFTER THEY SIT AND WAIT FOR THE GATE TO OPEN, is during "Live View" and you just happen to see them going OUT the gate, leaving.

As a security camera, this is the WORST programming for security with these the very limited settings that are on this expensive camera and cell service!!

FIX and UPGRADE this software for better Motion Detection response and record times!!

Sheez...
