    • The app for this camera is probably the best app out there for what’s available in the market... and even this app has its flaws
    • The biggest disappointment with all these other cameras I've been researching is that they have very poor or extremely vulnerable mobile/PC apps, which is a hackers dream come true, no apps at all (They're made to work with third party clients or DVRs/NVRs) or they have to be connected to an Internet gateway (Router/Router-Modem) for initial setup

    • When i had my "customized" timing of high alert alarms....if your camera is not set up to a particular person's height (meaning averaged sized people unlike myself).... when they trigger the high alert motion detected alarm (which works very well for me).....you will miss their entire face/profile etc (meaning...as for as someone as short as myself.....if your camera is not set to view taller person (s)....then all you will see is legs and abdomen....therefore...if you are short...set the camera elevated b/c it will not move up/down to the person(s)" height (motion detection occurs from left to right....not up and down).
