When you offer a service for free, then switch the business plan and charge for it, people don't appreciate that. It feels similar to a bait and switch tactic. I've always appreciated the products and the convenience of the app to control them, and I'll contin…

what is wrong with this app? about 70% of the time I open it to just a black screen I have to keep opening over and over to try to get it to work. I'm sure it's some small oversight but this bug is super annoying.

This app is trash. It refuses to open. The only thing that shows is " [app] […]" and nothing else. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't work. The can't never make this app better. it gets worse and worse with each new update.

The app crashes all the time! Any time I contact customer support they just want to blame it on my Internet connection. I have a great connection, and that's never the issue. I rarely am able to access the cameras when I'm away from home, which is when I need…

2/3 cams have 'bricked'. The 3rd exclusively picks up things outside of the detection zone... (I've tried it both ways... it can not be backwards both ways, even if dark really does mean 'view here', and lit-up means 'ignore this', and I AM crazy). There's a p…
