this app barely works 60% of the time

you’d be waiting for things to load more than using the app.

Drops off randomly

Not a user friendly app and very spotty. Drops cameras off randomly requiring calls to IT to get them back online. Not ideal for something designed to provide safety.

New and disappointed.

Cameras and app installed yesterday working with the insta, tech. Worked great. Tried to view today and it started acting up and then it said app was crashing. Couldn’t get it to show the 8 cameras. Rebooted twice and it started working. Kinda. Then it stopped showing the views. Then it told me again that the app was crashing. I also have some inexpensive WiFi cameras that are much clearer with no crashing issues. Not impressed.

Zero Stars

I’ve never written like 4 reviews online in my whole adult life, but this app sucks so bad it’s actually incredible. Not only is the design clunky and hard to navigate on an iPhone, but it straight up doesn’t work on an iPad. The menu comes and goes at will and beyond the log in all of the buttons that you would use to view a particular camera or review past footage beyond the live feed cease to function. Utterly useless.

Please fix this issue.

This app isn’t bad. But when I connect a single Blue IP cam by itself, when I load a favorites tab or orientation that pulls the substream, it defaults to almost unvewable substream settings. Please stop this from happening. Or at least make the default substream settings for Speco profile better.
