Inconsistent

I love the camera when it works, but it’s 50/50 in picking up people and movement. Half the time the mailman is identified and the other half the camera doesn’t record him. Wish there was a focus to set the distance we need. Same with people walking in front of the house. A couple of days ago, 2 adults walking their medium-sized dog was not identified, but bugs and flies are recorded every 5 minutes, probably due to their proximity to the camera. However, it will pick up a vehicle passing on the street beyond the entrance to our block-long cul d’sac.

The only reliable way is see if there was anyone in our yard is to do playback and then I have to move it 3 seconds ahead manually or see it in real time. Wish there was a fast forward.

Also, the speaker is very slow to respond and visitors are out of the driveway by the time my voice can be heard.

Thanks for your feedback, we will work continuously to improve.

Birdfeeder

We use this app with the Birdyfy bird feeder. The camera connection is easy and we have two feeders. The one in the backyard is about 50’ from our cbs house and has a strong connection signal. The one in the front which is only about 16’ from a window was a medium signal until I moved the antenna down to horizontal , now it signal is strong and the antenna has become a perch. The app has a cooldown time that we set to 1 hour because all the bird notifications were to frequent. The picture quality is great. I have not had this app crash and have been using it for about 10 months. My only request would be to add a motion filter allowing us to adjust the distance past the feeder to be ignored. I’m very happy with the app and feeder.

Sound issues

My grandpa got one for a bird feeder. It works really well. It can even identify each bird. There have been a couple problems tho. One problem is that if the wind blows to hard it thinks there is a bird. But that is not the worst problem. Idk if this is my phone or the app. But I am pretty sure it is the app. Whenever I open the app everything on my phone gets really quiet. When I am texting and you can usually hear the click of the keys. But once I open the app I can barely hear the click of the keys. I have to completely restart my phone to hear everything again. Plz fix this problem.
