When it works, I receive a clear picture. However, most of the time when I attempt to open the app to view images there's no signal to view the images from my app! Seriously considering removing the cameras to install better quality cameras. I hope the cables work with other systems because these were not easy to install either...! System is buffering as I'M writing this too!!! SMH

Hardly ever works. Past events won't load. Timeline won't load. Most functions do not work. If your event is one of the recent ones and you do not have to push "see more events" which doesn't work anyways then it will just sit on a loading screen until there is an error message and it doesn't work. I have literally never had this system working and hired someone to install and setup... Doesn't work. At all. Whatsoever. You can't view ANY past videos. Only live feed then half the time that wont

I've had the camera for almost 3 years. I will say that it still works and that's impressive. But it won't record anything that needs to be recorded. A simple function to make it record 24/7 would be great. Then I could at least have the video even if I do have to scroll back hours of footage. It just simply doesn't do what it's supposed to. And it's really not that cheap to be this useless.
