★★★★ J H 4/25/2026 v2.4.14
can no longer log in as it's asking for a non existent device password that you can't access or change. used to be able to add with bar code and away.
★★★★ Naveed Shazad 4/24/2026 v2.4.14
Very poor, Pathetic Experience whenever I try to watch most of the time shows cameras offline... Not recommended if developers didn't sort this out.
★★★★ gaguirre 4/22/2026 v2.4.14
I don't know why, but in the latest update, the human detection notifications are arriving very late. Even when connected to Wi-Fi and mobile data, most notifications arrive late. sometimes with delays of 7 minutes, other times of 40 minutes
★★★★ Adam Cencigh 4/22/2026 v2.4.14
App was working great until i updated now the cameras keep going offline and the only way to reset is to turn the power off and on, a bit hard to do when your not home. please fix the problem and i will change the rating

75% of the time it says "system off line" this app is a waste of time.
★★★★ Daniel Robinson 4/14/2026 v2.4.12
app continually crashes when trying to load camera video. was working fine a few days ago and suddenly completely unusable
★★★★ Ibra 4/12/2026 v2.4.12
Playback skips when using Dmss but doesn't do it when playing back on NVR. This app is poor.
★★★★ Karma I 4/11/2026
Can only watch live on screen, nothing stored and system has reverted to year 2000. I didn't even have the cameras then
★★★★ Iain Walker 4/10/2026 v2.4.12
Struggles to load video stream (even when standing next to the router). Now I'm getting smoke alarm notifications every hour. Which is weird as they aren't connected to this system, and the units they're notifying me about aren't those I've got installed.
★★★★ Nathan Bruning 4/10/2026 v2.4.12
I keep getting alerts regarding a smoke alarm device I don't even have. I can't make it stop, after selecting I've read the notification as a message it still continues to alert me every hour.
