Not Compatable with Network Operation? App?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I could not initialize, activate or “Bind” this camera with the D-link application (My Dlink) necessary to use this camera. The D-link customer service rep and their supervisor told me this was a known problem and they had notified their management. Why continue to sell what will not work? No reply!

Unhappy with product. Not worth the money.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Whenever this camera works it’s great but it loses video steam all the time and no matter what I do I won’t get it back. I can go to cloud and retrieve videos when there’s motion but can’t do live stream. I bought it to keep an wye on my fur babies but it stays off more than it’s on. The manufactures always says to restart it but it never works. Sometimes it don’t have live stream for a few hours and sometimes it’s weeks. If I had the chance to go back I would not buy this camera at all.

Good hardware, bad software
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this because my other dlinks have a web-based UI, but these newer models do not which make them very limited in functionality with other APPS. I therefore retrieved it.

Did not perform as was described
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased six cameras and six SD cards. I explained to the sales representative that I didn’t have internet at the location destination. He insisted that they would work. I have not found this to be so. I even contacted your GEEK squad for assistance and they couldn’t make them work either. I have yet to return them, hoping that someone can explain to me how they will work. Should I give up and return them, or hold out hoping for the best.

Unreliable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this camera not expecting much for how cheap it was. The camera lags often, the app is glitchy, and often times if you move the camera, the video feed will freeze and requires manual reset. Don't waste your time or money. Buy an Amcrest or other similar brand instead, more bang for the buck in every area and they cost about the same.

Device does not connect to wifi
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.5 to 10 attempts to connect to WiFi failed. Contacted DlInk customer support and all of their suggestions failed to get the device to connect to Wifi. Very disappointed in DLink. Will not be buying from them again.

No remote viewing capability
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cannot view live camera feed via cellular connection. In the FAQ's for the device they admit it's a problem, tell you what causes the problem, but provide no support on how to fix the issue. Seems to be related to having a modem/router combo but they could not guarantee this was the source of the problem.

Bad choice
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera was HORRIBLE!!! It only lets you get like 4-5 pics per month and then forget about trying to view anything online. If it does ever let you on it just freezes!
