| 2024-08-06 |  | | 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". |
| 2024-03-23 |  | | 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... |
| 2023-04-09 |  | | 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. |
| 2022-11-24 |  | | Good camera, bad app. The camera has been great and we have used it for almost 2 years. The app however is probably the glitchiest piece of junk I have ever used. It rarely allows full screen when viewing the camera and if you try it just locks the app up until you force restart. Also after upgrading to the pixel 7 (from pixel 5) the app has been a glitchy mess. I won't buy another camera from this company as the app ruins it all. |
| 2022-01-26 |  | | Got camera on sale.. "good deal," I thought. Thats what I get for thinking. Cam is good when working; but constantly disconnects from wifi, and night vision is barely 10 feet... let alone, 65 or even 45! I have to reset the dang thing every single time I try to reconnect it or if power goes out. I can use my old cell phone with another app and get better pictures with waaayy less stress and effort. |
| 2021-12-07 |  | | The app was great when I didn't have Android 12. The app crashes when I open to view. Cameras. And previous versions of Android. I've never incurred any problems whatsoever. This is actually the second time that I've commented or contacted support about this. Please fix or I will buy another camera system from another manufacturer |
| 2021-08-30 |  | | For the past 5 days it hasn't been uploading anything to my Google drive like it's supposed to. Nothing telling me that it suddenly stopped working. And it will not let me relink any cloud accounts. Also never opens up the app when I try to open a notification or a doorbell ring from my lockscreen. You really need someone who knows what they're doing to work on this app |
| 2021-07-30 |  | | So far im not to happy... Can not load both camera at the sane time on the sighthd app. Which is very frustrating cause i will like to see both camera and not one at a time or have to disconnect one to see another one. Also, why do i have to be on the camera wifi? Its knocks me off my home wifi. Something needs to be changed so that you dont have to jump through loops to monitor your home when you're away or at home. PLEASE FIX! |
| 2021-07-12 |  | | I read the reviews on the camera and most were good. I failed to read the reviews on the app...my mistake. Is there another app I should be using? Are the bugs going to be worked on? I get a notification of motion, click on it to see, takes almost a minute to load the app - when loaded it just shows the live stream, not what was caught in motion. App is very glitchy and a lot of the features (only about 2 or 3 features) either just don't work, or they are severely underdeveloped. |
| 2021-06-03 |  | | Doorbells worked good, Video quality was very good and when someone rings the doorbell it also rings on your phone. My issue as of now is the app no longer sends me notifications for motion / movement near the doorbell which is frustrating because I would like to know who is outside near my house before they ring the doorbell like it used to. I've tried switching the sensitivity and still no luck with the motion working like it did when I first installed them months ago. So, 3 stars due to that. |
