Guarding Vision

I’ve used this app frequently over the last couple months, both on network and off network and I’ve had pretty good success with it so far. I did notice on a couple occasions the fail to connect/bad network that was mentioned by previous reviews, but in my instance it was the cellular network I was on that was creating the problem, not the local network that the cameras were plugged into. H.264 mode is supposed to help with that since it uses less bandwidth than the default mode, but it hasn’t been problem enough for me to change it, since doing so would also be a slight hit on video quality. The only recommendation I have of the application so far is to provide more administrative control options to my NVR, since I can only play live video or playback video recorded since midnight of the day I’m currently on. This app is not a substitute for administering the NVR, but for viewing video footage it works great!

It defaults to soft, I change to mute, hit the save icon, leave settings and when I go back into settings it reset to soft again. Only issue I’ve ran into with the app so far. Fairly minor but the alert is quite loud and startles you so it’s forced me to disable PIR alerts altogether until it’s fixed.

This app is great for viewing live-camera feeds, but it desperately needs better playback capabilities. Currently, you can only move to time slots and then must watch your playback in play mode patiently to view a camera event. If you’re not sure of the exact time an event occurred, you’re forced to skip around time slots and then play at normal speed. The app NEEDS a variable speed REWIND and FAST-FORWARD option so you can move to a playback time slot, and then speed-up playback forward or reverse (preferably variable speeds) to quickly find an event. Do this, and the app deserves 5-stars!!!

What good is having a video camera that you can’t watch videos on? I have 1gig internet speed and have zero issue with any products that are on my network EXCEPT the video doorbell associated with this sorry excuse for an app. I will get motion notifications and immediately am unable to play them when I’m standing right next to the doorbell! Developers, if you are reading this, do your job better! Your product is garbage. Take more pride in what you do and create something better.

The main selling point was the alerts and being notified when the alerts are being set off. But it picks up every dust particle and fly! I get alerts every minute! I had to my notifications off because it was going off every few seconds/every minute. That I actually missed the actual alerts if someone being in my yard/front porch!
