### 3/5 — Please fix the APP

*2023-02-19, version 2.9.0*

Host name can’t be found YOOOO pls fix it my favorite camera but if the app don’t work it’s useless

### 4/5 — Great camera

*2023-01-12*

This has been a great camera to me for five years the app and everything has worked fine and now all the sudden I can’t even login anymore so I would hope the developers would put out an update, so this can continue to work. I use it as an office camera to see who pulls up at the office while I’m not there and it has not been short of notifying me when something is going on. I don’t know how many videos of bees and butterflies I have but it captures everything that is in motion in the area you put it on but like I said the app is not working right now, so it is a bit..

### 2/5 — Wi-Fi unable to connect to your server

*2023-01-04, version 2.9.0*

For some reason your server is not working can not connect to any Wi-Fi
Please advice

### 1/5 — Out of business

*2022-12-31, version 2.9.0*

No longer in business. If you buy cameras they will Not work!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2022-12-31, version 2.9.0*

I’ve had this for a few years. I was a pretty loyal customer, and for the most part, it worked pretty well.  And now it doesn’t work anymore. I cannot log onto my alarm or set my alarm. I logged off and now I can’t log back in. And now their website is not even functioning anymore. I’m not even gonna bother complaining to them because they never receive or answer my emails. Even when they were working there were times when I wasn’t able to log onto the alarm which is really annoying and now they don’t even work anymore at all. it’s like the company just gave up and didn’t tell us.

### 1/5 — No support

*2022-12-30, version 2.9.0*

Is this company out of business? Camera quit. Can’t reset. N no support

### 1/5 — Poor customer service

*2022-10-01, version 2.9.0*

Impossible to get help.

### 2/5 — No live video

*2022-09-15, version 2.9.0*

I have 3 outdoor cameras, after a year none will play live video and capture any video.  
When set to alarm it does chapter a picture and sound no video, I have tried reset update and complete reboot with no success.

### 1/5 — Where’s Waldo?

*2022-05-13, version 2.9.0*

The company has Ghosted us.

### 1/5 — Zero stars stay away!!

*2021-06-17, version 2.9.0*

The app will randomly stop working and sign you out. I can no longer access my home cameras and it is past the point of time to return them. The company no longer exists and has no customer service representatives. Do not purchase and avoid at all possible cost!!!

### 1/5 — Aggravating

*2021-06-16*

I have the SENS8 camera in my home and one in my car port. Today, the app stopped working. I uninstalled the app then reinstalled it and it will not allow me to log in. I tried to reset the password but it tells me it is cancelled. I have not been able to contact anyone to help me with this. Now my phone is giving me notifications that there is activity at my home and I can’t get in to view any of it! So frustrating!

### 1/5 — Terrible.

*2021-05-04*

It’s so frustrating. 
There are no directions. 

The FAQ, as far asI can tell, doesn’t actually exist.  I can’t find my way to any usable information.

The live chat… Same thing. My issues must be solvable but so far I’m out of luck and $200. 

There are some handy things about it but right now I’m just annoyed as FAQ, so I can’t actually think of any. 

The most egregious is, when you do catch an intruder, the video recording ends because it records for a set amount of time. As far as I can tell, there’s no way to set the record duration to be “as long as there is activity detected.” 

So, if you’re trying to monitor your personal space, what good is it if it turns off before your intruder is done intruding? You can’t see what they did/are doing/took/will take. Ug...

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2021-04-22, version 2.9.0*

Great hardware but horrible app and software. Very typical of these Chinese products. 
You can’t log into more than one device at a time. It logs you out. Useless.

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2021-04-06, version 2.9.0*

Cameras stopped working company disappeared.

### 1/5 — Company gave up. Notifications don’t work. Customer support non responsive

*2021-03-22, version 2.9.0*

Do not buy into this system. I have 6 cameras that still work but don’t provide notifications. No customer support. Company website was deleted

### 2/5 — What happened?

*2021-03-02*

So there has always been an issue with one of my cameras, the gps always says it’s across the street so the auto on/off doesn’t work for that. Now I switch routers, I cannot connect and the chat service seems to have gone under and the help center no longer has a webpage or a viable link to the site through the app - this company is dead in the water

### 1/5 — Garbage product and inferior support

*2021-01-21, version 2.9.0*

Right out of the box, the product doesn’t work.

The app crashes.

Customer service in app, appears to require a sign up to a Live Chat service where they appear to sell you another product.

Lousy all the way.  There’s Wyze and many other alternatives which work flawlessly.

### 1/5 — Outdoor cams now fail to show in iOS 14.2 or newer

*2021-01-13, version 2.9.0*

A bummer, we have 3 outdoor cams, they all ceased to send picture & video all at the same time, right after iOS update. The inside cam model still functions for now. This company’s website is down, they have not updated their software for over a year. It was good while it lasted. Rest In Peace.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2023-05-22, version 2.9.0*

Bought one of these units and now it is headed to the garbage because the company went out of business and the app is not working now. Total waste of money and time. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT

### 1/5 — After working very well for years, all SENS8 devices disconnected

*2023-02-18, version 2.9.0*

After working well for years, all three of my sensei it all in one devices, and my SENS8 outdoor light disappeared from my software and disconnected from my net work. Recently, I replaced my router and have been unable to get my SENS8 devices hooked up to the software very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Don’t wast your money on this!

*2023-02-09, version 2.9.0*

Does not work!!! I get some many errors and I’ve sent emails and have never gotten a response. It a waste of money!! If you bought the camera please go return it!!

### 1/5 — SERVER OFFLINE FOR 2 MONTHS NOW

*2023-01-20, version 2.9.0*

Will not connect to server when opening or setting up the app now

Cannot connect to the website for app support either

### 1/5 — DO NOT USE THIS APP!!

*2023-01-19, version 2.9.0*

The company is out of business and none of their products will work anymore. 
DO NOT BUY THE PRODUCTS!!
DO NOT LOAD THIS APP ON YOUR DEVICES!!

You have been warned for over a year about this!!

### 1/5 — Straight trash

*2023-01-13, version 2.9.0*

The app is garbage keeps telling me im not connected to the internet when clearly I am smh waste of money on the purchase of the camera when the app doesn’t work properly would give zero stars if it was possible

### 1/5 — 🚫 PAPERWEIGHT! 🚫

*2023-01-10, version 2.9.0*

Apparently they have added an update to the Google play store. But I don’t have Android, and I haven’t seen any good reviews for this company in over 4 years.

They are scamming anyone willing to buy crap with no technical support at all, from a company that’s always on the run. 

That’s what I suggest you do. Run far and fast from these expensive paperweights! Save your hard earned money from these sleazy thieves!!!

### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work

*2023-01-05, version 2.9.0*

This company seems to have gone under. 

My cameras disappeared from the app and the app won’t load now. There’s no mention of them anywhere on the internet.

### 1/5 — Offline permanently

*2023-01-05*

In December 2022 the app stopped connecting to Ripple's server and thus there is no more streaming, cameras are no longer usable. My investment on three cameras in the last three years went down the drain, and the company will not respond to any request for clarification, likely because they stopped running these products altogether.

### 1/5 — All gone

*2023-01-04, version 2.9.0*

Had this camera for three years loved it worked perfectly company just shut down the app. No more host or domain. which means you can’t even connect to it anymore to get previous events or anything as soon as you open the app it says there is no specific server for the host

### 5/5 — Wish they we’re working more then not

*2023-01-24, version 2.9.0*

I have 5 of these cams , used for 3-4 yrs now I love them, just this  last year around September 2022 one by one they stopped connecting to my Wi-Fi . I tried to buy more from Amazon and they weren’t available.I like not having to pay for a subscription. What I don’t like is no tech support or phone number u can call . What has happened to them I don’t want to have to replace them all. Is there a recall or a website that I can purchase more . Please help I’ve invested a lot here .

### 5/5 — Amazing Tech

*2021-03-04, version 2.9.0*

I absolutely love Sens8.  Simple but works.

### 5/5 — A good camera system

*2019-06-08*

I put one in my Southern home last year and it was nice being able to see what was going on down South. I bought an inside and an outside camera w/light for my Northern home. Had a little problem pairing with my camera but I guess I had the camera too close to the router because when I moved it 3 feet away, it paired right up. So far all cameras seem to be working fine. Plus no monthly fee!

### 5/5 — Great Device

*2019-04-18*

We have another system in another house which turned out cumbersome to set up and run. This camera was very easy to installed and activate. We gave it five stars only because we could not give it six. Getting two more. Thanks.

### 5/5 — SENS8 is Great

*2018-10-06*

I am astonished at how easy the setup for this device is.  It’s a great security product that starts working almost right out of the box. I love the picture clarity and the ability to speak. I love everything about it.

### 5/5 — Great product

*2018-06-22*

I absolutely love this it works so well for everything that I use it for her watching my kids when they try to lie to me I can just watch it it’s great big thumbs up

### 5/5 — Great

*2018-06-16, version 1.2.1*

I bought three and will buy about a dozen more for all of my homes.

### 5/5 — One of the BEST!

*2018-06-02*

As someone who has several properties, owned many home security camera systems, both wired and wireless, this is a great, simple and easy to use system! 

I have already added this two times to two different properties where I have family and it’s great! 
Pros: 
1. Sleek design, most people will not be aware it’s a camera. 
2. Provides great video quality 
3. Accurate humidity and temperature displays 
4. Great with Mobile app especially the listen and talk feature from anywhere. 
5. No extras to buy for the unit and the mobile app! 
6. Night vision is insanely great as well. 

Cons:
Does not currently work with a 5G WiFi connection, must have a 2G, but I am sure a future update will fix that

### 5/5 — Bravo!! BELLISIMO!!

*2018-04-29, version 1.2*

Perfect security device for a 2nd floor or higher condo that really has only one entrance it’s front door!!!!!!👍👌

### 5/5 — Easy and fun

*2018-02-05*

SENS8 was so easy to set up. The video is crystal clear, I can check in on my dogs and house during the day. I actually was able to speak to my dog who was starting to chew something he shouldn’t and he stopped!
