Great app but please change one tiny thing.

The app is great an functional in almost every way except it keeps getting accidentally switched into privacy mode, CONSTANTLY. It would really nice in the app for the option to disable the quick select button for privacy mode. I never want privacy mode on my front doorbell. Thank you.

Relatively Easy to Set Up, Works Well

I hit a snag with my installation, but the troubleshooting tips were spot on, and I soon got past the snag. The camera has worked seamlessly since it was installed.

Dependable

No delay in the locking process is all I ask for. A device I can finally count on.

!Please read this!

This is a very good app and I’ve absolutely loved using this and there are no flaws whatsoever, I love how you can adjust the lighting to what ever light setting that you are comfortable with and change it to any shade of colours that you would wish. I also find the timer setting really useful so that at anytime I set it to it could turn on off off at that time and this also really helps me get up for school. Pls get this I strongly recommend it ( it makes your life so much easier) 🩵🩵🩵
