Funlux

This app was great years ago. Within the last few years, the notifications for detecting motion have been declining. There have been instances of it not even recording when someone is literally right in front of the camera, it didn’t give us notifications of deer outside - which is bad bc deer are big enough, and sometimes it won’t even notify us of things as big as cars out front! But it will give us notifications of little bugs flying around and the light change at dusk and dawn…bc that’s what we all want right? It’s not our cameras…we have more than 5 that all work fine, and I’ve tested whether it’s the camera or app and it’s definitely the app. This is absolutely unacceptable as this is basically security that people and families rely upon for safety and comfort. Unless something changes immediately, I’ll be looking elsewhere for something more reliable.

This app/camera was decent enough. It did what it needed to do. But I’ve noticed I’m not getting alerts even though I know there is movement. My settings haven’t changed. One day all my videos were there and then gone the next. Now it seems it only keeps videos for two days. Some days features won’t load even if I’m on WiFi. Had to re set up my camera. My phone and camera had to be sitting on top of the router for it to all connect. Was thinking of getting a second camera- but might go with a different company.

I reviewed this app and their associated hardware at a 1 star rating about 6 months ago. The company replaced one faulty camera and after the firmware patch I feel a 5 star rating is warranted. I no longer have connectivity issues and if I reset my WiFi network the cameras automatically recognize and reconnect to the network. This company has made significant improvements to their product and if you were frustrated like I was and moved away from them, I’d try it out again and see that there is real value at this price. My only criticism is that I wish they had a viable battery operated camera that could compete with other fully wireless cameras like arlo.
