Broken unsupported mess

Possible the worst application I have ever had the misfortune of trying to set up. Speco REFUSES to add support for their older NVRs to their new software so you’re stuck with a 14 year old buggy trash application for your buggy trash NVRS. Never ever purchasing speco ever again and I’ll convert any new customer off of their broken system.

No updates for 5 years?

This app crashes more than grandpa falling asleep at the wheel. There have been no updates in 5 years? Please do a better job at supporting what you sell. We have multiple stores using the DVR hardware, but the app keeps getting worse with no iOS support.

Update

App doesn’t work after last Apple update.

Worked Good Until

App worked well as expected until a recent Apple update and I could no longer review my Speco cameras from my Mac Developer needs to update the app

Delete system

We have two system at our store using this app. One DVD died and had to replace it. When we did that had to update App to newer version. I can I delete to older version?

Better than speco’s app

But still a piece of crap. Can’t keep one channel as the main view which is beyond annoying. Super buggy overall but not as bad as Speco’s own app

Buggy

The last update appears to be 3 years ago. Constantly unable to load. Is the developer even monitoring this anymore?

Needs update

Will this app ever get updated ? Very outdated !

Great when it works but most of the time it does not

It does not matter if you are trying to see a live view or a playback the app won’t load. You connect and it just says connecting and the cameras do not appear. Pretty worthless when you need to go back and look at your cameras to see what happened

Okay

It would be nice if there were a way to delete a device without removing and reinstalling the app. Also, I couldn’t get the ddns service to work.

Trash App

My alarm company “upgraded” our equipment and downloaded this app so we could view our cameras. The app worked for about a week and after that it kept giving a “Connection failed, trying to reconnect,” message on all of our devices. I have tried everything to get it working again. The developers of this trash app couldn’t care less about the lack of function, because I tried contacting them and they didn’t even attempt to resolve my problem. They also obviously don’t care, because they never respond to or even try to resolve all of the negative reviews posted here. It doesn’t make sense. The app doesn’t work, just remove the trash out of the App Store.

Buggy freezes often NO OPTION TO DOWNLOAD FOOTAGE TO PHONE

I had a more cost effective DVR that configured itself to go online with a QR code (never lost connection) with and app that was user friendly and allowed you to download any amount of footage (limited to space on your phone) instantly. The Speco DVR offers none of those things. The only reason I switched was for tech support, which can help with what I need. Waste of money.

Doesn’t work well

I have had this app operating out security cameras for several years. I really wish Speco would come out with a better app or at least update this one so it works. So frustrating sometimes it works and sometimes I sign in and nothing happens. I try updating and nothing. I try rebooting the Speco player and nothing. It I had a few thousand dollars laying around I would replace the Speco system all together but with a DVR and 16 cameras I’m not motivated to do so at this time. If you are reading this then buy another brand.

Support new phones

The display needs to support new phone resolution.

Update for newer IOS

Cannot get playback features for newer iOS. Developers need to update!!!!

Just Terrible

I’ll keep it short and sweet! Looks like this was created and designed for the iPhone 2 and has never been updated since! Terrible, just terrible!

Never works

The app hasnt been updated in NINE MONTHS!!! And it still has MAJOR issues. Pay so much for this stuff just for it to not work

Worst app ever

Good when it connects, which is almost never. We have our house and business using it and will be changing soon. Total waste.

Worst company ever

Don’t deal with these people
Waste of time and money
I would rather use google nest
I post a ideas about the the full experience in Facebook and instagram about these people
Unprofessional company poor customer service 0 zero respect

Terrible

Quite possibly the absolute worst under managed app for security. DO NOT BUY SPECO CAMERAS AND EXPECT CUSTOMER SERVICE!! The app rarely works and is rarely updated. When it does work the connection can take 4-5 minutes to view the cameras.
