## What is OMNA?

You are always home with the Omna 180 Cam HD, which gives you a 180-degree view of your home in crisp 1080p Full HD. Omna brings a new perspective to your home through its trendy but discreet design. Simply smart, the camera is state of the art and easy to set up, operate and manage. Omna is derived from the Latin “omnis” meaning all, every, all-encompassing – and indeed, the Omna camera can see everything, wherever you place it in your home. Control your Omna camera with the free Omna app and get a live view of your home, receive alerts when motion is detected, watch motion-triggered video playbacks, and use your camera’s two-way audio function.

Features

- 180-Degree Field of View – D-Link’s unique 180-degree solutions and de-warping technology allow you to see just about everywhere and everything.
- Dynamic Video Streaming – The video bitrate continuously adjusts to ensure optimal performance given the available bandwidth.
- Two-Way Audio – Listen and speak using the camera’s built-in microphone and speaker, so you can still make your presence known even when you’re not at home.

### 2/5 — Need bug fixes

*2023-08-31*

This app hasn’t been updated for four years. The recordings appear on the wrong date. My clips were recorded in 2023 but in the app appear in 2018. I can neither watch nor save the playbacks. I’ve tried many times resetting, and formatting, but it just can’t keep recording after the first day. I can’t believe this product used to be sold in Apple Store. 
It needs bug fixes right now!

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY ANY CAMERA FROM THEM. It’s a waste of money

*2022-03-27, version 1.0.8*

These camera & app are so horrible. You pay a lot of money for it and you can’t use the camera unless you’re at the house. Why would I need to use the camera while am at the house? I need it when am out. Plus technically it’s super difficult to achieve the remote access. Cuz it’s being done through Apple TV. A very horrible product to be honest. Find an alternative

### 1/5 — Crap of a product

*2021-05-19, version 1.0.8*

I purchased this camera with much enthusiasm but it turned to be a nothing but a failure. It never keep connected more than a day. I’ve deserted it more than the earth revolves round the sun and yet the issue persists. Had multiple calls with the contact center, but of no help. 

Kindly refrain from buying this product and save yourselves from headache and other hassles. It’s a crap product with no use and heavy price tag. Sorry D-Link this is not worth manufacturing.

### 1/5 — Would not connect

*2019-11-22, version 1.0.8*

Called D-Link they tried and would not connect to the new c 310 camera 

Returned the same day I received it

### 1/5 — Abandoned camera

*2019-10-14, version 1.0.8*

After ios13 this app no longer works. As a HomeKit camera, this is larger and less sharp than the competition. Presence sensor is basic at best and doesn’t work with HomeKit scenes. Unfortunately the SD card playback for this device never worked. Every time I tried to review it would ask to reformat the drive. Overall an expensive camera to others have clearly surpassed it in design, features, and value.

### 2/5 — Camera is great, app is horrendous.

*2019-10-02, version 1.0.8*

The camera quality when watching LIVE is superb. Crystal clear with almost no latency. However, the app itself is a buggy mess. Reviewing your footage takes FOREVER and there’s no reason for it. When trying to upgrade the firmware I am told I am not on the same WiFi network over and over again.

### 3/5 — Features need polishing

*2019-05-16, version 1.0.7*

I love the camera, it works great in the home app and also in OMNA app for viewing. However features in this Omna app need polishing, specifically the recorded playback features. The daily recap feature is awesome, but only after the 10+ minutes it take for it to put itself together and finally play for me. There needs to be an option for these daily recaps to automatically create themselves everyday and save itself to the micro SD card. That way we can just stream it instead of rendering it every time we tap the thumbnail for that day. I just used it, and after watching I went back to the screen to choose a day, went back to the same day I just did, and then it started the long process again.... why? Just fix that and this will be an amazing feature. Also I run into a bug where it says only two people can be viewing at the same time something like that, but literally no one is viewing it only me. And I know because I’ve tested it with the people who have access to it.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2019-04-20, version 1.0.7*

If your debating between a Nestcam & OMNA, I suggest Nest. The OMNA is just an expensive paper weight. It only works 5% of the time when I want to view it remotely.

### 1/5 — Awful App

*2019-04-03, version 1.0.7*

Not user friendly and constantly freezes despite repeated hard resets. Either get straight or it’s going in the trash where it belongs!

### 2/5 — I can’t believe these are sold by Apple

*2019-03-12, version 1.0.7*

I purchased a OMNA Camera over a month ago to supplement my current nest cams and to be my first foray into HomeKit cameras, lets just say they’re not off to a good start. The recent software update did bring improvements such as the day review and automatic updates, but the camera’s are still buggy.

I inherited 2 more cameras from a friend recently and I found that all 3 of these cameras all use the same network name leading to some difficulties setting up. Also I found when viewing both from the app then switching immediately over to the integrated home app, one of the Cramer’s crashes every time requiring a hard power reset. The app isn’t bad getting around in but it takes WAY too many clicks on the GUI to get to any recordings from the cameras: see Nest or even the super smooth interface from Apples own Time Machine on MacOSX!

Another big hit is the inability to provide notifications only when you are not at home. Sure the new app has a button to press for away, but this all needs to be automated: also see Nest.

I hope the updates to both the firmware for the cameras and features for the apps continue to be released by D-link, as well as HomeKit capability improvements from Apple. I feel like it’s a solid product but needs support!
