So far: it seems to work, but there are no settings for camera image size, no settings for ISO, or exposure, the image viewer allows no zoom, crop, adjustment of any kind. The folder stated in "help" seems to not exist in my SD card. Minimally useful, as is... Happy to change rating if these issues are fixable, or just not visible to me?

Beats the heck out of paying $14 a month. However I'd be more than willing to pay a yearly fee if it would text instead of email... Also the sensitivity doesn't matter whether at 0 or 100, and I have tried all the way in-between, so you end up with several pictures on the cloud that can only be erased one at a time. Takes about an hour to erase 60 photos, and usually get around 30 a day from the movement of the sun on my walls or blinds.

Really wanted this app to work. It would not send an email via 4G connection. Thought it was my VPN. Allowed it to tunnel VPN free. That didn't work either; no email. I had images coming up on their cloud even. Can't delete images once they are on their cloud and that makes me really suspicious about privacy concerns. It'll capture pics to your phone and you can change sensitivity settings, but no video. It takes 10-20seconds to setup again. What if the intruder saw the phone and delete image?

Works well from the gate. Would prefer SMS in lieu of e-mail but Google has a habit of taking away great functionality. Also prefer saving pics in e-mail. None of their business saving to their cloud.

This has a feature to email images that you can basically ignore by not entering an email, but it wastes time sending images and holding up things anyway which questions where is it sending images to? As for the motion sensor alerts. It's too slow. It doesn't make the alert sound right in the instant it detects someone around the corner while I'm working. There are no sound options on the alert so it's always this alarming sound which only startles visitors due to the fact the alert is delayed

For those of you complaining that you can't remotely access.. think outside the box. I use this app on a spare phone connected to Wi-Fi.. and I remote access it with my own phone through TeamViewer. By doing this it is just the same as having a wireless remote camera that you can access anywhere in the world

Complete waist of space ... Don't waist your time it doesn't work .... It's a very simple process to set up & even put in my email address so it could "email me any pictures taken" and of course it didn't & we tested it 6 times. ... Complete junk

My phone goes to sleep in other words the phone goes black after 10 seconds and the app does not take pictures with a black screen. Why don't app owners reply to me. Does this take pictures even with a black screen on your phone ?

Shuts off automatically, can't get it to actually work off motion, it's either on or turns off after a couple of minutes, walk by or wave your hand in front and it doesn't turn back on. That's what I call motion detector but if it shuts its self off and wont turn back on then it's a fail.
