The API key settings are lost every several hours. The directory write settings require you to make the directories first. The directory settings offer a UNC path but will not save changes if a UNC path is used. “Add path” replaces the primary path. No secondary paths can be added. If your API key expires, and it starts snowing, it is impossible to update the API key, disable alerts, etc. The green bars demanding a new key block the buttin, and tapping to make them disappear sooner still is too slow to get to the settings editor. You can either see movement, or filter snow flurries, but never both. With phone on silent/ do not disturn, this buzzes. Blocking notifications in the app does nothing, so buzz buzz buzz buzz all the time and it cannot be acknowledges nor stopped. Backgrounded, the app will keep givingbalerts, but the main UI will lose access to the server. You have to force close and re-open the app. Most functionality requires paying for a monthly subscription. No emails, no alerts, no saving anywhere else. “Confirm you want to do this”, but whatis “this”? Archive, delete, and cloud are tiny and right next to each other, all with the same confirmation text. Cannot scroll in files (aka videos) nor snapshots (aka still photos). Can only drag to select.

The computer software required to setup a server is deceptive and invasive. They make it extremely difficult to find the files by vaguely naming them.

This app allows me to view my CCTV cameras remotely just fine, but if I were to leave the app and return it reports all my cameras are down when they are not. I have to open up recent apps and swipe this app away and then re open it to get it to properly refresh. Additionally, the UI looks like something found on a Windows 95/98 machine. A cleanup and modernization would be nice. It otherwise does its job. 3/5.

Now that the feed is working again, I can finally view everything. Overall, it still feels a little clumsy with navigation and UI since it’s just a wrapper around the web site, but the push notifications are nice.

The app and all the menus load but live video, snapshots, and recordings don't play. It just shows up as a blank screen.
