Review summary

Reviews show a split experience: many users say the app does what it promises and supports viewing multiple cameras, with ongoing updates. However, a significant number of reviews complain about disruptive ads, inconsistent photo capture (motion detected but no pictures or SMS), and frustration with storage: pictures default to the device root and save location cannot be chosen. Other common pain points include no front-camera support, no background operation or screen-off compatibility, and occasional crashes. Overall sentiment is mixed: dependable when it works, but reliability and usability are hampered by ads and storage/camera limitations.

Pros

Reliable basic functionality; generally works as advertised.
Supports monitoring multiple cameras and viewing them on mobile.
Active updates with new camera support.
Good motion capture integration when it works.
Overall positive user sentiment from several reviewers.

Cons

Intrusive full-screen ads disrupt usage.
Motion detected but no photo or SMS captured; capture is inconsistent.
Cannot choose save location; pictures saved to root/internal memory by default.
Front camera is not supported.
Background operation not supported (no operation with screen off) and occasional crashes.

2022-06-16	g *****	No pics taken. Obviously, no sms was sent, which would've been a great feature. App showed it started and was recording, but no pics were in the gallery, or elsewhere. What's going on?

2022-03-01	ah*****	It saves pictures if you check save on sd card option, the path of pictures is the top root of internal memory! but it does not work in background which is very important.
