Perfect if setup right
This app and equipment has never let me down, and works absolutely amazingly. I don’t have a higher end model either. I believe the trick is more in how you setup the network (mine is a vpn direct connection). It’s actually amazing and the app is great. I don’t know if they’ve updated since the other reviews I’ve seen but I couldn’t disagree with them more.

This is awful. We need the service for safety of our employees. Fix this before a tragedy happens.

Stay away from their app
Terrible,ablosulety terrible.We have a regular old cameras at our house that go with older app and I hate that app.Now my camera guy convinced me to install newer cameras on Speco Gray by selling me that this app is much better so I went for it,what a mistake.This app is better than the old one but is terrible anyways.It takes forever for the image to show up,it keeps circling trying to connect,and no it has nothing to do with the network,no matter where you are or how strong you signal is it does the same thing.Even when you double tap to switch from camera to camera,it’s circling,so annoying.I also noticed that it skips recording.I was replaying particular time in particular place and one camera had the incident recorder (from the worst angle) and another one did not but was pointing at the same spot.How come motion in that stop was not recorded,it skipped? My older surveillance system didn’t have that problem and I really lived my other iVMS-4500 app .

Won’t open
Something needs to be done about this app. It’s important to be able to use it but I have more frustrating times than not!
Removes features on updates
Guess you need to upgrade to a NVR that uses the ‘blue’ app to use a domain name. The older version worked great. Still curious why it tries to connect to Baidu when opened.
Incredible system!
By far my favorite Speco system. App is super user friendly and the DVR is such an unbelievable piece of technology with its capabilities. Don’t listen to the bad reviews, those people just need to learn how to use the app and system.
New device
Unable to reinstall app on new device. What’s the purpose of having this app if you can’t use it.
Absolutely BLOWS!!!
Cameras are very good but this app makes the product useless!!! I am away from home and can’t monitor my house. Yes, I may have good video after something is stolen or destroyed but I want to be able to monitor live- DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF POOP PRODUCT- I regret it!!
App update bad
My system and app were working great.
Evidently, after an update, the system disconnects or won’t connect. Freezes and won’t stream then disconnects. I see others are having the same problems as I am having.
Please take it back to where it was before.

Usability and security concerns.
For some reason, the JLA NVR and this app attempt to connect to the Chinese site “Baidu.com” every few minutes.
Would rather not have a supposed security system randomly going around opening connections on its own volition.
App-wise, updates have removed some functionality that older versions had, with no warning. An unpleasant surprise.
I get that this unit is a rebrand of something else, but did Speco have any oversight at all, other than what logo to put on it?

Works great!
Downloaded this app I was worried about it due to reading other reviews but it has worked flawlessly sense downloading! I have been able to access it at all times from home and in town which is about 10 miles from my home so there’s no problem with internet connection
App refuses to work
After installing on iPhone it loses connection to the NVR device in a couple of minutes, and then won’t reconnect. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling about 5 times. The same app on my iPad seems to work better. But since I am away from my iPad most of the time, this app is worthless.
Don’t get this systëm!!!!!!
This is the worst app I’ve ever used or more accurately tried to use. It doesn’t playback, cameras disappear....
Simply- do not buy these cameras. Make your life and security a priority and go with another system.
