frustrating!!! Automation for geofencing only only work a fraction of the time. Constant "vehicle detected" notifications about the vehicle PARKED in my garage and NOT moving. No pets or anything else in there to trigger detection. There doesn't seem to be a way to view cameras without recording. Wheni go to the support page my cameras model isn't even listed. C460. Bought 10 of these cameras. ready to send them all back and maybe try Eufy, or even go back to Arlo.

Overall great tool to use to keep an eye on the house. App controls are easy to figure out, even without a manual. Set up was easy and quick. Camera controls are quick and responsive. Two way communication works great. Only issue I found was with the preset positions that you can set up. Sometimes the images associated with a particular camera show up on a different camera. Example, my kitchen camera preset for the front door shows up in the living room as a preset position.

I don't recommend it if you are actually using it for security. The notifications I get are delayed sometimes as much as 3-5 minutes or more. So, for security, it's maybe too little, too late. I tried all the suggested so-called fixes, updates, etc, and nothing changed. If a person stands there long enough it catches up and then shows real time, but, again, that wouldn't help if it were a security matter. All my other equipment working through the WiFi; seems to work fine.

I've used the app for a month now and overall I'm disappointed with it. it freezes constantly, the controls are slow and very inaccurate. you can definitely tell it's designed to make you want to spend the subscription fee but even with the fee it doesn't impress or work well. the cameras themselves: battery drains fast and panels dont charge

App has its issues. It is slow to load playback, playback jumps to detected events, won't let you look at recording that's not flagged with an event. AI got less smart in recent updates. It doesn't alert to people (sensitivity all the way up), IDs birds as people. Mis IDs random objects as pets. Also in-app support is fake. It goes to a "coming soon" splash screen with nothing else on it, and been like that for as long as I've used it.

Not a good experience anymore. the app used to work well however I recently got a td12 doorbell and it constantly fails to ring my phone. the troubleshooting does not work, and I've tried everything at this point. my wife also has the app on her phone and again nothing but intermittent alerts, as if the app mind of it's own. latest issue is the doorbell rings no one is there. all directions on the troubleshooting have been followed the app is up to date as is the doorbell. really not very good.
