Generally reliable when it functions, with stable streaming on supported networks.

Poor or unresponsive customer support with little to no replies.

I feel like I am being spied on using this app. I don’t feel like I’m in control of my own video surveillance while using this app. I don’t feel safe.

This is one of my most used apps on multiple devices. I wish I can attach a screen shot because all my iPhones I use as cams and streamers all have 256gb but this app takes up 97% of my storage!!! I have contacted support so many countless times and have NEVER GOTTEN A RESPONSE EVER. I’ve spent hundredssss of dollars using their companion apps together on about six devices average and I pay for the highest tier package for years. But I can’t have any other apps on any of my phones and it’s getting out of control. Sadly I am going to have to delete. It just doesn’t make sense to me why the camera app AVS (this one) has to use 223gb of my memory I don’t get it and that’s just not practical. What are you storing on my devices?!?! Thought it was a cloud service. I’ve deleted almost all my local storage downloads and still nothing. It’s very suspicious!!!

OK so god forbid u need help w/ a problem and you need support. Know now, nonexistent.And the biggest problem that I have is that it takes up ridiculous memory and one of the cameras I use an old iPhone 7 Plus, I swear to God I wish I can post a screenshot, it’s taking up 214 GB out of my 256 for my entire phone. So I pay for the highest level of cloud storage so I wish they I knew why the videos are still Being stored on My phone and also the cloud storage?even with all the bad stuff it’s still my favorite security monitoring app by far hands down…. WheN it Works…. Lol. Now with certain videos (they always happen to be the ones I need the most) up to two weeks later it’ll say “still in the process of loading check back later”. Now in the app, there is a contact form and a filed out email with your logs and customer numbers had filed out for u, which was a great 1st impression ,so I really believed I was going to get at least a generic robot automated response,let alone tech support. If they just had like one or two people answering emails at a decent rate To fix a little problem here and there, then it would be my favorite app I’ve ever come across in the entire App Store. But they never have responded to e reaching out probably 20 times in two years. Never got one response from their team
