Smartfrog Cam & Baby Monitor

Reason for rating is on three points. First we rigged up the camera in s window overlooking the front door and path. However if someone knocks the app takes far too long to start and log in for this to be of any use for this. Person knocking will have long gone before I see who it was! This brings the second point of the overall lag between what is happening and seeing it on the app. Sometimes it can be a good 30 seconds behind. This point is the speaker doesn't work on our camera using the app.

Useless. App crashes every time I try to view live feed.

Unable to connect with no support

If I can't log in and view my camera via 4G... What's the point in creating the app? The feed attempts to connect, then instantly disconnects. Utter rubbish.

The geofencing option does not work so the camera triggers alerts when I'm in the house and when I leave the house more often than not the Camera loses connection. I am still waiting on an app update /firmware bug fix to resolve this issue but hold little hope as several months has passed in which time several updates have been and gone and yet geofencing still not working. Overall pretty disappointed with camera and app. C'mon team can you not address the geofencing issue as this is ultimately what's stopping this being a great security camera?

You need a PC or laptop to view your recorded history, you cannot view it on the app, I searched extensively before buying this camera and there is no mention of needing a PC or laptop anywhere. I have also tried 3rd party apps like dolphin browser etc and they do not work for operating the smartfrog website. I have emailed smartfrog and they have also confirmed that you do in fact need a PC to view the history and it is a mistake or their part that this is not mentioned anywhere, very misleading as I could of bought a different camera to suit my needs without needing a PC.

Day vision great. Night vision doesn't work. Can you help please!

I have 2 cameras and they work great. The app has a slight delay but not much and the night mode is very good. Would like to be able to have more than one live feed showing though rather than swiping to each camera. These are great value for money.

Had this a couple of days was a free gift from an energy deal. Camera looks good and idea is a good one. Problem is that connecting to a live feed works very occasionally would not use this for a baby monitor not safe enough and there is a time lag of about 9 seconds.

No comparability with Smart hings and a very confusing settings. Got it free with energy supplier offer. My energy supplier will be getting a call as I wouldn't pay for this rubbish and i don't think I'm going to continue to use it free either. Also no NAS off load is very disappointing, only option is to pay a monthly cost and at the cost of the camera your off your trolly.

Hat am anfang etwas start probleme so 40min aber dann hat es geklappt soll meine fell Babies aufpassen wenn ich arbeit morgen wird es mal intensiv ausprobiert.. Wenn ich fertig bin und zufrieden mit was ich mit angeschafft haben bekommt ihr auch 5 Sterne.... Aber so weit sau geil nicht mal die 6 Sekunde stören mich lol aber ab heute eine Woche test dann bekommt ihr eine ausführliche Antwort. LG Familie Montag und express services ilonex

My broadband is not compatible, waste of time.

The app and camera and account is one unit. It's easy to setup and easy to use. It is a modern cloud-based product. Looks smart and nice. On the con side: many app crashes and even the camera needs reboot once a day. The latency in the live video mode is approx 5 seconds.

super super suber app

Best featured app!!

Hab mir die cam im abo zugelegt und hab nichts zu beanstanden. Funktioniert prima mit der app. Weiterr so! :)

This app is amazing!

Often freezing, works very low. Sometimes I need to wait 1-2 minutes to access Notifications. Idea with camera and cloud is really cool. That's what I was looking for meny ears. But I think app should be done better.

Top notch app!

Easy

This application was quick and easy to use. Now, I'm able to reuse that old Android phone that none of my family members want to use anymore because it's outdated. So finally I have a cheap way to watch the kids in the cat so my wife and I can go out to dinner next door without worry. Also when I need to be entertained I can always turn on the camera and watch my cat and his crazy antics. This was so much easier to use than other applications like IP camera
