Danale IoT

I have used the Danale app for my camera for over 4 years now. First used as a baby monitor, never had an issue and loved the subscription service to save clips as he had night terrors and used that to capture them. I really like how most motions are saved are 2 minutes long. My ring doesn’t even save motion for that long. Now it’s being used for house camera. . I use my iPhone, sometimes it takes longer to load but I’ve figured out it determines on the type of Wi-Fi I’m on. Turning on my cellular data always works the quickest for me. I’m actually considering adding more cameras because I like this app so much. Now my only Con— only one device can be logged in at a time, so if another family member wants to view the camera I will automatically get booted out, and will have to re enter password. I wish I was at-least notified of another device logging on as my motion notifications will end as well and sometimes won’t realize. The only notification I get is when I click the app to view the camera, it then pops up that I’ve been logged out but if Danale could have the notification sent as soon as another device logged on that would help tremendously! Over all though I’ve had a great experience with the app for a long time.

So so so inconvenient and irritating that motion detected notifications/messages when selected does not take you to the recorded event. For some reason it takes you to the cloud version of it which is not supported. I have the hard drive version so I have to manually to go device section of the recording and then manually find the time the event occurred. Instead of one or two step process to view a motion notification/event, it’s an annoying 10+ step process just trying to find it. There are no bookmarks in the timeline indicating motion detections. One main use case completely not available. Please fix... it’s not hard to create a deeplink. The features are not easily accessible. Everything takes an extra 3-5 steps to do.. why is that? Design/product requirements issues? Please make it more convenient and easier to use.

I just purchased a zoohi 1tb 4 camera system. Reading a lot of reviews with the same issues i ran into. The box HAS to be hard wired to your WiFi modem in order to view the cameras on your phone. The amount of transmitting the unit can output is enough for the 4 cameras but can not reliably transmit to another source, it can only transmit the video to the actual HDMI through the box if you do not hardwire it with an Ethernet cord directly to your modem. This is not mentioned in any of the instructions and i believe they are trying to avoid saying so to avoid false advertising. If you connect the box to your router/modem, the modem is the responsible unit for transmitting directly to your phone, so long as you have access to your WiFi network on your phone via an established connection. Hope this helps anyone dealing with issues with their systems.
