If the power gets knocked out the camera goes offline and will not reconnect. I have to forget it and reset it up all again. It would be nice if the app had a refresh or reconnect inside that app so I don't have to keep doing this. When the camera is online it works really well. Once it's set back up it's not long before it stops working again.

only reason it's less than five stars is that this app is only one of I think at least four other apps. they all work with the same products however the accounts are not connected and so before I understood all of this I have different devices set up on different apps and so the controls are only available for each device on each app the only saving grace is Google home which allows me to connect it all together without having to ReDiscover the devices on one app. need consolidation into 1 app.

The app refuses to run without precise location permissions, which is not needed for any feature I use. This is only required for spyware features that I absolutely don't want. The app won't even allow general location, which is all that would be needed to access local weather information, and just disabling a feature under this circumstance is what non-spyware apps do. This is absolutely unacceptable and I will have to return the product that uses this app.
