### 2/5 — When it works, it’s ok…

*2025-11-26*

This app has become increasingly problematic. It stops refreshing the camera feeds with no warning and stops controlling the camera. Considering we use these cameras for livestreaming, it *needs* to work. Camera movements and switches need to be immediate

### 1/5 — Good luck.

*2023-03-04, version 1.1.5*

Unbelievably bad. Cannot maintain a connection. Constantly crashing. Gave up and just went back to the switcher.

### 1/5 — Can’t get more than camera A configured

*2021-09-23*

Camera setup GUI is a mess. After setting one camera, switching to second ends up with camera one settings on top of what should be empty settings. It’s hosed at that point.

### 3/5 — Change dip sw 4

*2021-07-20*

I was having no luck with this app, but got it working; presets, zoom, etc. I have the Ethernet cable from the router plugged into the DVIP port on the camera. However, if dip switch 4 on the bottom of the PTC-280 is OFF, it will look for commands on the RS422 port. I flipped it ON and the camera started responding as expected.

### 1/5 — Totally broken

*2021-06-14*

App doesn’t work half the time and the interface adjustment settings do nothing.

### 1/5 — App just doesn’t work

*2021-03-14, version 1.0.9*

It shows a feed of my camera but as soon as I try to control it it crashes and doesn’t move the camera at all.
