| 2023-05-18 |  | | At the very beginning, it was working perfectly fine. But now, I downloaded both apps to compare some things, and at version 1.0 it's showing Firmware updated is available, but Update button doesn't work, on the other side, version 2.0 doesn't show updates at all. And also, camera recordings are not working. At version 2.0 it shows we have records but it's unavailable to play, on the app 1.0 recordings is not found. Solutions? |
| 2023-03-05 |  | | Can't use this app anymore as being forced to upgrade to new firmware and app that don't work. I am going to have to buy a new camera light to replace a product that was broken by the manufacturer. |
| 2023-01-02 |  | | After the last update, the camera can no longer be accessed remotely, only when the phone is connected to the same network you can do that. I want to mention that I used the application without problems for 1 year, but unfortunately after the last update only problems appeared. |
| 2022-04-19 |  | | Switch to the new app! Don't use this one! This app does not show the correct IP of camera, and settings are a bit difficult to decipher. The RTSP URL is not available anywhere in app. |
| 2022-04-17 |  | | Camera and light work very well, the app is my only issue. It does not notify me or my wife on our phones when someone is activating the camera. It also doesn't always connect to the camera. Big app overhaul required. |
| 2021-11-27 |  | | Light is great quality and easy to install. Picture quality is also great but the app is very poor. The camera does not record for some reason and the HD card is fitted correctly however even after a reset, the camera will still not record. |
| 2021-10-12 |  | | Unable to update camera firmware - app is telling me my camera does not have the latest software version but the "update" button does not do anything. On the "about device" screen it says 13.11.2019 is the latest version, but on the "check update" screen it says 17.02.2020 is the latest. I have now done a factory reset, re-connected the camera and still can't get the latest firmware update to work Rating dropped due to receiving no reply to my problem |
| 2021-08-25 |  | | when I connect the second camera, the first one automatically goes offline. I can only see one live camera |
| 2021-07-27 |  | | The link between app and cam requires Good WiFi to be reliable, especially in houses with upvc double glazing. I installed a second WiFi router in the roof space to get round initial problems. Output from the app is visible from the Internet (ie beyond the reach of home WiFi) without user intervention, which the device manages to do without it showing in the router's list of connected devices. Strange. |
| 2021-04-01 |  | | Last update (1.3.5) broke the replay functionality. The apps keeps showing the text "searching " and recordings are never played. Also the option in the main settings to enable RTSP is now gone ins this update. Steinel reacted fast and publish a new version v1.3.6 that fixed the problem with the play back. Versión 1.3.7 enabled again rhe option to enable/ disable the RTSP protocol. |
