## Review summary

Users find the app easy to use with good picture quality when working. However, wireless connections often fail, forcing wired use. Frequent crashes, connection losses, and issues with motion detection notifications frustrate users. Playback controls are limited, and some features like IR control are lacking. Notifications may not work unless the app is open, and clicking alerts sometimes does nothing. Overall, the app is functional but needs improvements in wireless stability, notifications, and playback usability.

### Pros

- Easy to use and user friendly interface.
- Good picture quality when working.
- Setup is clever with minimal problems if using wired connection.
- Allows checking on pets or home remotely.
- Playback functions exist allowing reviewing recorded footage.

### Cons

- Wireless connection is unreliable or does not work, often limiting use to wired connections only.
- App frequently crashes, goes offline, or loses connection to camera.
- Motion detection alerts and notifications are inconsistent or do not work properly, sometimes only working if app is open.
- Playback controls are limited, especially for motion-triggered footage, requiring watching full minutes rather than clips.
- Lack of options to turn off IR causes issues like glare during night viewing through windows.
