Everything else is working fine except this camera that the three I have seen to be having the same issue when it comes to this app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-11-02, version 9.9.14* The camera doesn’t work, the app doesn’t work, and the app assistance doesn’t work. This thing was a total scam. ### 1/5 — Update *2022-09-13, version 9.9.14* This app needs an update for iOS 16 please ### 1/5 — Won’t connect *2022-07-12* Like many other users-I can’t get it to connect or STSY connected more than a few minutes. When it finally said connected I tried to view video stream-and it went back to OFFLINE. total waste of time ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, very disappointed *2022-06-23, version 9.9.14* Bought three cameras and wasted my money. If only I had seen these reviews first. The program won’t recognise ANY wifi, let alone my one. This person should be banned from selling the cameras and for creating such a dodgy piece of rubbish! ### 1/5 — Does not connect *2022-06-22, version 9.9.14* After reading other reviews I’m not going to waste anymore time on setting it up. ### 1/5 — Useless tech *2022-06-14, version 9.9.14* This piece of tech simply does not work. Save your time, energy and $$ and look else where. Developer, Yumei Zhang, were you drunk when you put this out to market? If a job is worth doing, do it properly! ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2022-04-20, version 9.9.14* As said above, it won’t link to my phone, and n the instructions booklet the screens are different ### 1/5 — Read reviews for app before buying cam! *2022-03-19, version 9.9.14* Camera quality is surprisingly decent for the price but the app is junk. The sound only works for a minute at a time before it shuts off and says no audio data received. You have to restart the app and try 837482 million more times before it’ll work for another minute. The motion detection doesn’t work either. Hopefully people read the reviews for the app before purchasing the camera and find out it’s not worth it. ### 1/5 — Not satisfied *2022-02-28, version 9.9.14* Bad bad bad was never able to start / set it up. No one to contact for help. ### 1/5 — Issue *2022-02-23, version 9.9.14* Where the UID number ### 1/5 — Illegal UID can’t even use *2022-02-14, version 9.9.14* Worked for five minutes Now I cannot connect ### 1/5 — Super difficult to use *2022-02-05, version 9.9.14* Connections are all failures. ### 1/5 — Can you please write all steps how to setup this camera? *2022-01-30, version 9.9.14* The manual does not have clear instructions how to setup. Is the camera need to connect to network with cable? ### 1/5 — Update *2021-12-18, version 9.9.14* The recent update has rendered my 3 cameras unable to connect A msg pops up ( illegal UID ) Everything worked great for 2 yrs and the new update has an issue ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless !!!! *2025-08-26, version 9.9.14* Can’t get it to connect at all just completely useless 0 stars !!!! ### 1/5 — Will not connect *2024-06-04* Says you can connect to phone . True if you are still on your own wifi an in range. If you leave range of wifi well too bad yo only get camera is off line. Tried everything to get it to work. If you are only want it to stay at home to monitor a room I guess it is good for that but I have yet to get sound out of it ### 1/5 — Connecting *2023-10-22, version 9.9.14* No matter how many times I try it will not connect 😡 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. *2023-10-05, version 9.9.14* I followed instructions exactly, several times. It just doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-09-04, version 9.9.14* Do not buy! Can’t get it to connect… waste of money… get what you pay for. Hate I didn’t dig into the reviews… definitely would’ve bought it 😬😬😬 ### 1/5 — C *2023-02-18, version 9.9.14* This app is garbage ### 1/5 — Horrible camera and app!! *2023-02-07, version 9.9.14* Only works on my home WiFi so what’s the point? Can’t access the camera while away from home. Junk!! ### 1/5 — Camera won’t connect and I ask for black I got white *2023-01-23* Thatz sad 3rd time same problem the company is about to have me stop shopping with this company. And I really did like this company. But can’t keep losing money. ### 1/5 — Developer . Please update the firmware !!!! *2023-01-16, version 9.9.14* I use iPhone IOS 16.2. Now the app cannot remote the camera . Please update the app !!!!! ### 1/5 — Not possible to use it *2022-12-19, version 9.9.14* I tried everything It is not possible to use it. So difficult! The instructions are confuse. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — EXCELLENT FREE APP *2025-10-23, version 9.9.14* Brilliant app ppl are too lazy & want instant access put a little effort in BRILLIANT APP ### 5/5 — App works just fine *2022-07-17, version 9.9.14* The instructions may need a slight edit, but the app so far does what it says. As it said to do, I first found the camera on my wi-fi settings. Opened the app once the camera was linked to the iPhone and was able to turn the night mode (IR) on/off, record, and do the functions listed. I have not yet tried to link the camera to my business wi-fi as my intent was to use it for monitoring a water meter over night so I really only needed it to communicate with my iPhone. The company responded quickly (on a Saturday) to simple questions like What is the minimum focus in IR mode, and they said 8cm, which should work fine. The camera (and the app as a result) has no brightness adjust for the IR LEDs, if too bright will need to block off one or more IR LEDs to reduce illumination so as not to overpower the camera. ### 5/5 — EXCELLENT FREE APP *2021-07-26, version 9.9.13* Brilliant app ppl are too lazy & want instant access put a little effort in BRILLIANT APP ### 4/5 — It does work just complicated to set up *2022-05-24, version 9.9.14* So basically u have to download the app on App Store Then u need to go on Wi-Fi hold mode button till u see the app name called (video ) then go on the video app connect the device ### 4/5 — I’ll help you connect them. Just pay attention… *2021-12-10, version 9.9.13* Ok first of download the stupid app and the go to WiFi settings and turn the camera on and then hold the mode button and it’s on WiFi pops up but they call it hotspot anyway go to the app and go to the setting in right top corner and click on WiFi settings. Also be right up your internet routers butt and you internet should show lower on the page click on yours and enter your password and click connect and stay at your router for the full 30 seconds so that your camera hooks up to your router. I do not have to be at home to view it or on WiFi and works but on a second note for god sake’s update and make better changes to your stupid app. That should get you in the ballpark. Also can’t remember but you may need to connect to the camera WiFi and then go to app and WiFi settings click your WiFi which should show up enter password and hit connect it may do it for I can’t remember but that’s how you do it people. I hope this helps and good luck to everyone!! ### 3/5 — Waste of money *2023-01-05, version 9.9.14* I used to be able to connect this app to my mobile data but as of late it will only let me access the app with Wi-Fi & not mobile data which isn’t very useful if your out at work etc & want to access the camera whilst away from home I never used to have any issues with it at all & you got what you paid for but because now I can only use the app with Wi-Fi & not being able to use with mobile data I’m getting rid & upgrading to something more suitable & reliable ### 3/5 — Why my “DS05 spy camera” night vision won’t turn off *2022-02-07* I bought one for my shared room to set up for sleep and why it always auto turn on and off when too dark… frustrating :/ ### 3/5 — Not to sure *2021-05-20, version 9.9.13* Pretty poor app but it does work despite the above comment. “Don’t waist your time”, i think you’ll find it “WASTE”. Grab a dictionary app maybe? Anyway yes it needs much improvement. ### 3/5 — Ok video..but pretty good for the price *2020-01-07* Video goes in and out but still acts as good security camera when away and works as good baby monitor too. ### 2/5 — Partly works. Doesn’t alert motion detection *2021-10-31, version 9.9.13* Instructions are easy enough. It connects to 2.4gtz wifi. It will take images and videos of anything it motion detects. The app won’t load the motion pics - I had to open TF card on my computer. Most important - no push notifications for motion detection. The support link in the App Store is a broken link. No idea how to contact for support. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
