Horrible beyond words. As others have noted, you have to get off WiFi for the app to work. Then you can connect the camera. But to connect the camera to your network you have to have WiFi working on your phone. Then the app crashes. I don't have time for this and don't want to reward shoddy development with my purchase. Returned the camera and uninstalled the app.

My cameras are scary. I'm pretty sure they are getting hacked. I hear weird noises and strange lights come on, but there's no way to find out what ip adress has logged in to my account, which I find very strange. There should be a way to see when the cameras are being viewed, a tracking log of when they were viewed, or a tracker of when the account was accessed and from where. The app is easy to use tho. And the camera quality is decent. Which almost makes it scarier.

App was working great until a recent update. Now when I log in it just says "loading" for forever. Still have good signal and the camera is on with green lights. I'm not sure what happened but now my camera is useless! Edit: Now I can't add my camera back on after a change in network password and ID. I logged in with a new user and everything but the app won't let me add the new camera.

Wow. Well, I read a dozen different reviews before I bought this camera, and after failing to connect with my wifi several times, I started to read the reviews here on the play store. Lovely. Looks like I made a mistake and, after all the troubles I had with the Samsung Techwin cam, I refuse to get hung up like this again so, it's on the fast track back to Amazon.

Everytime i try to "add new device" by clicking the + sign at the top left corner i get a message that says "the app met some problems and will exit." Kicks me off, restarts to the login page, rinse and repeat. Read in the reviews that I have to disconnect from wifi to connect the product but when I get promoted to choose wifi or ethernet, it again kicks me off when I turn my wifi on. Waste of time/money. Returning and looking for a better option.

Edit after ONE YEAR: Periodically and without warning the app will just get hung up on signing into my camera and I'll be locked out from accessing it. This company consistently has issues releasing updates that effect their customers negatively. Yes, they fix it when this happens, but having this camera for a year, it can say I've seen a lot of updates and it happens way too often. You all should fire whoever does your coding. Avoid this camera. Will be switching to different company.

Horrible customer service. Why? Because it doesn't exist. It worked fine but when I paid for 3 months again only 1 camera out of 3 I can review back 1 day instead of 3 days. I have tried reaching out MULTIPLE times! No response on how to get it fixed... I'm paying for something I'm not getting. Once my 3 months is up I'm throwing the cameras away and going with a different company. Be aware that they will take your money and that's it.

So far not happy with this app. The camera works great - WHEN it works. But usually it does not! When app & camera connect the picture & sound are clear. But most of the time I get the black screen and a timeout message. Restarted the device numerous times, removed & reinstalled the app. The connection works for a short time but then stops again. The panning is spotty & laggy, too. I spend more time dinking around with this thing than actually using it! When I need the thing it doesn't work.

When the app works, it's ok. It's so difficult to play back recordings. Sometimes the thumbnails match the time of the recording, sometimes they're not loaded correctly. Fast forwarding never works, the app keeps spinning and I need to shut down and reopen. My time is off sometimes too. It's just such a hassle to playback, especially when you need to go through a long timeframe.

Updated to try have more constructive comments. App has some core features that work and others that partially work. Viewing video, zooming and moving the camera work great. However video recording, replaying video and other featutes are lacking. It also requests permissions such as recording calls, recording audio, accessing files, etc which it seemingly has no need to access. Overall works decently well for my needs albeit frustrating at times.

after a while there is so much lag that you dont know if you are controlling the camera or not. I have the most recent update on this app but to no avail. the camera is great but its response isnt. for the 1st month, it worked great with the app and smooth. had quick response but now it doesnt. the camera doesnt move and when it does, it takes about 3 minutes to do so. eh. what can you do? I unplugged it and reconnected and it helped a little. network I use is great. it's the camera

I have never felt more creeped out by an app than this one. It crashes all the time, never does what it's supposed to do reliably, which it must do or it is worthless. It has stopped letting me log in and when I went through all the steps to reset passwords start over it wont finish the job online. I emailed the company and there has been no response. Any app I have to enter my router password, It won't fully work but has access to my home and the company has gone dark on me... well.. nope.

When this app works, we like using this system and camera. But with no rhyme or reason, you are unable to log in. The only way to get back into the app is to uninstall it and reinstall it. I have owned this for 4 months and have had to do this about 30 times now. That part is annoying. We also noticed you can't save your recorded videos on your phone. Only in the app itself, not grand if you need to share the video elsewhere. Also doesn't work if you are on certain strength WiFi, must use data.

I recently purchased a Lefun camera system. Reviews were positive but the associated app, MIPC is a dud. At the moment, the app connects half of the time. The other half, "camera not available." A 50% success rate is poor, especially if you need to use it 24/7 for care. The other issue I've encountered is the app's struggle to save updates or changes. Additionally, the notification alarm is broken, I would love to start receiving notices at 11pm and end at 6am but the app will not comply.

Very easy to set up, sometimes I have had problems with them after updated them but usually I can fix the problem after hooking the camera back up to my router with the cable that comes with it. The only thing I don't like about the new update, it makes me sign on every time I want to check my cameras. After a year now they just stop recording out of the blue. after a year of use the talk back has stopped working on 3 of my cameras

The app is super slow, crashes quite often, and the camera settings are never working properly. I'll select to have notifications, save it, and then it will say the notifications are off. I'll reset the camera and try again and nothing. I bought the cloud storage to save the videos, and it keeps saying failed to upload. I tried to contact support so we will see what happens. I tried to give feedback for weeks now, but its "under maintenance." Seems like a fake app but it's not.

Constantly offline, it's really hard to watch your baby when the device seldomly works. And I don't want to risk going in the room to hard reset the power. Very frustrating. The app is about a second delayed on audio, but the video matches up. Cloud storage costs money, but only holds a 32mb memory card. The video quality looks good, and it's very easy to pan the camera.

Works well enough, but has flaws. It will capture pictures automatically from time to time and save them on a cache; kind of creepy. Since it is not CCTV, feeds will sometimes not work(video playback failed). Sometimes this app needs to be uninstalled/reinstalled to work. If more than one device is looking at the same feed, it slows down exponentially. Occasionally it will say that the camera is offline even though it is plugged in and running. Still, for the most part it gets the job done.

So far so good! If i may make one important suggestion, it would be to allow deleting multiple videos or snapshots at the same time from the app (or even just a day of files at a time). I went to the "select all" tab but it appears to be more of a "view all" tab only where both videos and snapshots are shown in one place. It would be ideal to not have to move the memory card to the computer to easily and quickly delete videos. Otherwise, the app has been working great for me!

Camera is great. App works okay. I use it as a baby monitor, but the camera timing out isn't ideal. Plus, it's very easy to accidentally hit the alarm button, which causes a really really loud alarm to go off - not something a parent wants going off in a baby's room in the middle of the night!! I can't find a way to indefinitely disable the alarm, either. The app is spotty when used with the Alexa, as well. Mostly just buffers. Now it won't work with my Alexa at all.
