## Review summary

Users consistently face connectivity problems with the Clare Video Plus app resulting in the doorbell and cameras going offline frequently. Playback often fails to load or only shows still images, causing frustration. The app itself is reported to lag, crash, or require reinstallation to regain function. Notifications for doorbell rings and motion detection are delayed or do not arrive, diminishing usability. On the positive side, the camera's picture quality and motion sensor are praised, along with instant notifications when working, and the doorbell's audible beep feature to alert visitors.

### Pros

- Instant phone notification when someone rings the doorbell.
- Good picture quality of the alarm camera.
- Motion sensor works well when not obstructed or malfunctioning.
- The app successfully connects to the camera sometimes allowing live stream access.
- The doorbell beeps to get people's attention as intended.

### Cons

- Frequent connectivity issues causing doorbell/camera to go offline repeatedly.
- Playback functionality is poor with failures and only showing still images or sequences.
- The app has slow performance, lagging, and crashes, sometimes requiring reinstall to function.
- Push notifications for doorbell rings and motion detection are unreliable or absent.
- Poor user interface and lack of integration with other smart systems, making usage difficult.
