Lost Cause
Discontinued the same year it was released with no spare batteries available, I’d never buy another Shimano camera!
CM-2000
I bought a CM-2000 a year ago to use for my commute bike. Generally I like this app paired with the CM-2000. I can control the camera from the phone, and get a nice electronic rear view mirror along with a recording. However, the wireless connection to my iPhone drops randomly ... sometimes lasts the entire 45-minute ride each way, and sometimes just drops the connection. Is it the app, my iPhone iOS 12.1, the camera hardware, camera firmware .... cannot figure it out. I wish shimano had better support.

Absolute JUNK
Worst app I have ever used. Can never establish a connection for more than 10 seconds. Constantly glitches. Can’t adjust settings. Have no WiFi when connected. This needs a hell of a lot of development to even be close to useable! Sort it out
Useless
Terrible user interface and constant drop outs of the wifi connection. Bought cheap off the Internet. Now I know why.
Just about works but fiddly to set up
Ok. This is not easy to get working. Need an sdcard in the camera (fat32). Power on camera. Then, hold down the tiny mode/select button for 2 secs until it beeps. It’s so recessed I needed to use a fingernail to press it. Then, press the mode button one until C is displayed (stands for connection!). Then, press the scroll button until the Wi-fi and Bluetooth symbols both appear. Then, press and hold the mode/select button for two secs until green led lights up. Now go into phone settings and choose camera Wi-fi smn_cam etc. The password is shimano_cam. Then open app. It should work. But it drops the connection the moment you close the app. Have to go through this every time!
