User reviews

I bought a camera that requires this app several years ago. At that time I thought the app worked OK. I recently got a new phone and went through downloading the app and setting it up. It required some alarming permissions, such as the ability to make phone calls from my phone! Okay, so after I agreed to that just so I could get it going, now every single time I try to pull up the app it has a thing that comes up saying "suggestions, allow app to display over other apps".

Off and on, it works great for a while, then it just drops off. The camera still picks up good, but you can't see because it keeps disconnecting... Sometimes I have to go out and do a hard reset at the camera. Pay good honest money and would be really nice to get good quality. I've done deleting the app, reinstall it, go through the whole setup, still nothing. I have family and friends who are looking for security cameras, but I don't think I can recommend this brand...

Required permissions are unneeded. Why does it need my location, to manage calls, to access to my camera on my phone? Why does it refuse to run when using its own settings i deny those snoopy items? Uninstalled. NEEDS GPS wont work on touch screen Chrome books. Mock GPS programs won't work to trick it. Might have to install it on an old cell phone then stream over my network. HORRID SOFTWARE. No PC/Mac. Only cell phones.
