## Review summary

Users report the app is useful for remote camera viewing when it works, but repeatedly struggle with sign-in/sign-up (Apple/verification codes), unstable Wi‑Fi connections, overheating hardware, SD recording problems, and a cumbersome setup process. Reliability and onboarding are the main pain points, while core live-view functionality remains possible.

### Pros

- When it works, it provides reliable live streaming for remote monitoring (e.g., pets).
- Cameras show live view and archived footage reliably when the system is functioning.
- Reconnections are quick after app restarts or network changes.
- Useful for remote monitoring over Wi‑Fi on iPhone.
- Overall utility for camera access and viewing once set up.

### Cons

- Sign-in and account creation problems, especially with Apple ID: verification codes are not sent and sign-in can fail for extended periods.
- Frequent Wi‑Fi connectivity issues and devices going offline; adding extra cameras is unreliable.
- Device overheating causes lag, glitches, and unresponsiveness; often requires unplugging to cool.
- SD card recording issues and recent updates push cloud storage; SD features can be disabled or unreliable.
- Setup flow is unnecessarily complex and unstable, including re-adding devices after app closure and prompts for passwords on open networks.
