User Reviews

Overall sentiment is mixed: the hardware can deliver good day/night video and supports sharing across devices, but widespread issues dominate. Recurring drawbacks include intrusive ads, connectivity/setup problems, privacy concerns from heavy permissions and data sharing, complex setup, and cloud/paid features that limit functionality.
Pros
  • Reliable camera with good image quality day and night.
  • Easy sharing of the feed across multiple devices.
  • Some users report it does what it's supposed to for basic monitoring.
Cons
  • Intrusive pop-up ads introduced in updates; difficult to close and cannot be disabled.
  • Frequent connectivity and linking problems (cannot connect, offline status, weak signal, wifi/password issues).
  • Privacy and data collection concerns due to excessive permissions and potential data sharing (e.g., location, photos, Facebook integration).
  • Setup is complex with invasive permissions and confusing troubleshooting.
  • Cloud/paid features for recording access; perceived as misleading or behind a paywall.

This scammer runs ads claiming that your phone is infected with viruses. What an idiot.

I no longer can view it remotely. I get the error “network is not strong enough” this only started to happen after latest update. Also none of the notifications are in English

I got a small remote camera to be able to monitor inside of an outdoor feral cat house. Camera is remarkably reliable with good image quality day or night. It helped us identify raccoons as the problem intruders and take measures to discourage their visits. The app has to be restarted occasionally which is not really a big deal breaker. The problem is that after 4-5 months of helpful monitoring it began showing a pop-up add for a very annoying game whenever I pull up the viewer app for the first time of the day. It is very nearly impossible to close the add requiring several cycles of trying to close it before it finally goes away. The most successful way to stop the add is to fully close the viewer app and restart it. Viewer app is still very useful but I can’t find any way to disable the annoying & persistent pop-up adds! Lose the adds and I would give the app 4-5 stars.
