User Reviews

The LilinViewer iOS app is plagued by reliability and usability problems: unstable crashes, unreliable live video and playback, and inconsistent alarm notifications. While some hardware functions and a past playback fix exist, most users report ongoing issues, limited updates, and weak support, making the app difficult to use despite functional cameras.

Pros

Cameras test/initial setup generally function, indicating hardware is usable.
Some updates have fixed playback issues (the playback feed has been improved).
Live video can work properly when the app is functioning.

Cons

The iOS app is extremely buggy and unstable, with frequent crashes at startup and long loading times.
Real-time video and playback are unreliable, with no video, significant delays, or missing time stamps and scrubbing.
Alarms/notifications do not reliably populate, and the alarm event log is sporadic.
Playback UI is confusing and limits control (grouping issues, incorrect camera counts, no timestamp/scrubbing).
Lack of timely updates and poor customer support for end users; updates appear infrequent or ineffective.

Lilin Pro doesn’t work at all !! Cannot see any camera views ! Cameras work in setup and test okay ! No video in any view or playback. Keep Lilin Viewer app running until you get the bugs out of Lilin Pro !!

The app only works 20% of the time.

Had I known beforehand that this app was so awful, I would’ve purchased another brand of cameras. The cameras are functioning well however I can never view anything in real time or without a significant delay unless I look it up on the tv. Alarms don’t populate as they should. Everything needs to be research to find why it’s not working properly yet there’s never an answer or solution.
