Subscription Requirement
A significant number of users, approximately 40%, are frustrated with the new requirement to pay for a subscription to access video recordings, which were previously free. This change has led many to consider switching to other brands.
I used to get 3 days of recordings for free, but now I have to pay to watch any video, making the cameras useless without a subscription.

Delayed Notifications

Subscription Paywall
Users are frustrated with the sudden introduction of a subscription paywall to access basic video features, which were previously free. This change has led to dissatisfaction as it renders the cameras nearly useless without a paid plan.
Recording Failures
Cameras are intermittently failing to record during critical times, such as late-night hours, without any user-configured downtime settings. This inconsistency undermines the reliability of the security system.
Notification Delays
There are significant delays in receiving motion alerts, which diminishes the effectiveness of real-time monitoring. Users are unable to promptly access live views, impacting the app's utility.
Cancellation Issues
The process to cancel subscriptions is convoluted and ineffective, often leading users in circles without resolution. This poor user experience is exacerbated by an unhelpful AI bot and lack of direct customer support.
Network Connectivity
Users experience persistent network connectivity issues despite having strong Wi-Fi signals, which disrupts the app's functionality. This problem affects the app's reliability and user satisfaction.
Admin Account Limitations
The app restricts admin account access to a single device, limiting multi-user functionality and causing inconvenience for households wanting shared control. This limitation is not aligned with user expectations for smart home devices.
