At first it was fine, I was able to see each time motion was activated on the cameras, then one by one they went blank. It was recording on the NVR but not sending to the phone and there is a several second delay between live footage and phone viewing "live". At any rate, after some investigation on ANRANs site I discovered you have to be subscribed to their cloud. Fine, whatever. Tried to subscribe and purchase and it doesn't let you! So basically when away I get notification that a motion sensor has tripped but nothing to view. That's not anxiety provoking or anything. The customer service is terrible took over a week to reset a password because they were on holiday????? Seriously? A five pound rock was launched through my window while I was sleeping... The camera was mounted a foot from the window. It didn't pick up anything. But it will pick up a freaking gnat flying in front of the lense. Amaze balls.

This camera works ok. No crashes, easy to set up. Some lag in audio. On my iPhone, anything I do, anything, turns off the audio monitor. It does not run in the background, so I can't use my phone while monitoring. When the phone locks (and the iPhone cannot be set not to lock) it does not run. So, at least with an iPhone, I can't really use this to monitor a child. On my iPad, I can turn of the screen lock. So it is better. But I have to essentially devote the iPad to monitoring, since it doesn't run in the background and I therefore can't use the iPad for anything else. Oh, another minor problem is the blue LED on the front. Too bright to be a baby monitor. I had to tape something thick over it. So, generally good. Does what it is supposed to. Limitations on functionality mostly as app will not run in the background.

Update 2: back to 1/5. Camera records only one hour from midnight to 1am then stops. Resetting camera doesn’t work. Update. From 1/5 stars to 2/5. Fixed problem with extracting videos of events. The physical camera is great. Good picture. Motion detection sends alerts for movement appropriately. I bought an SD card for recording of video, however even with an SD card you can’t just view the “motion events” at the push of a button unless you have their subscription. I CAN go back and literally watch hours of recorded footage, and skip to the motion event, which is ok, but it’s tedious and I cannot just jump and watch the footage which triggered the alerts, which is why we buy the product to begin with. I wish that were different. I got the SD card, and opted out of the subscription service. I shouldn’t still have to buy the subscription.

This app and the associated cameras are complete garbage. One camera has tv static almost all the time. The app won’t let me connect to see the feed while in my own WiFi or even on cell data. Only works in some WiFi zones. I get 500mbs+ download speed on this phone so I know it’s not the phone or the router. Used to work fine, didn’t even update it, it just stopped working. Fix it and I’ll change the star rating. Otherwise this is complete crap. Update: it’s gotten worse. Now it tells me my cameras are offline and I have to unplug them and plug them back in to get them to work almost daily. The app still doesn’t work with cellular data and barely works on WiFi. How do you continue to dish out such a garbage app? Fix it! For those of you looking at this.... don’t get it. Return your cameras before it’s too late for something that actually works!

Bought the APEMAN BABY MONITOR camera to use with this app. Image and night vision look great! Works very well for our use as a baby monitor. Motion and sound detection are very sensitive so I just turn off those notification. Video and sound lag a second or two but this doesn’t bother me. The blue light on the camera is pretty bright but doesn’t bother baby. I’ll probably still tape something over it to cover it up for nighttime sleep. MY BIGGEST ISSUE is the app will sometimes crash. I don’t usually see it happen but I’ll leave the app open on the iPad during the night with the sound on and almost every morning I wake up to it having had crashed at some point and I need to go in a refresh it. Why can’t it just refresh on its own?? I’d like to see this issue fixed and maybe an option for audio to run the background. I like the camera and app. For the price it’s worked out really well! If it would stay on all night that would be perfect!
