TendApp for Android
I got mine reduced for $20 at Walmart.. they must have been outdated... But I would have paid $50 a piece for them... Security for your home doesn't need to be expensive... I do want one outside camera.. any suggestions??
This is a great app, great picture quality and very useful for an amazing price. The only complaint I have is the constant notifications AFTER I log out of the app, I still get notifications. I know how to turn them on and off and adjust the times to when it sends notifications so it's not that. I just need the app to stop giving me notifications once I log out of it, having it vibrate all the time is annoying. I hope you can fix it soon. Otherwise this a great app, definitely worth the money
I hate this thing. CONSTANTLY freezes up. Walmart won't take back electronics that are more than 2 weeks old so I'm screwed. Worked great in the beginning then went downhill fast. Software is updated, my signal is perfect but the dang thing is a waste of $$$! Do not buy. By the way the Tend Secure camera also started doing the same thing so I have two POS cameras that don't work.... so angry!
(Previous review deleted? Really? Not a word of help?) The same problem with a second camera. Will not connect to the network; times out after a minute with correct password. Router is a monster; Google OnHub that can reach half a block. Other wireless devices including some odd IOT devices, media players, bluray, cell phones, laptops, different operating systems, have no problems. How about a clue and not deleting comments?
It's OK but it seems the more I use it the more problems minor ones but problems. Overall so far so good 2 weeks in and can the video lengths be set to more than 12 seconds?
Beware: Works for a few weeks, then the picture starts freezing. This sudden drop in reliability is unacceptable. Our daughter was crying in her crib and we would not have known she needed us if we hadn't gone in to check on her. This freezing needs to be addressed *immediately* or else I strongly recommend returning the camera to wherever you bought it from.
Love the cameras. Bought 3. Still can't get but 1 camera to work at a time. The first one you turn on is the only one that you can monitor. Any suggestions?
Its a little slow popping on each camera sometimes but i have 5 that are around my house and I know I move to fast by trying to flip to each one after another but its great to have and watch every one in the house especially my grand daughter who I bought them to watch.
Great way to check on my puppies.
Very useful
Love it ..
It's nice

This app is unreliable. Even on good internet connection, I can't view the live feed at times. Most of the time, I can't view the saved video events. Also, scrolling through the saved video events is a pain as it often over scrolls by an insane amount. The iPad version at least works.
Was excited to buy today and try. I have another camera that I paid $200 for and it is delayed on recording with motion, IF it records at all. And when it does, it is stuck in night vision. I was recommended the Stuart Minion Cam by 2 different people; unfortunately I have now screwed around with it for over 4 hours and still can not get it to work. Stuck on the last step which tells me to turn switch to Camera, and when I do it repeatedly tells me to turn to switch to camera, and it already is there. I also have a gazillion emails now saying "thanks for registering the camera", apparently every time I retry, it treats it as a new registering of the device. *Trying app on Android. More than likely this will be returned to the store tonight, and I just bought it this morning. Disappointed.
this app does amazing things for a low-cost WiFi camera. for the price, I have almost no complaints. (my complaint is to why the app isn't named "Minion Cam")
How come my last review was removed? Now i have to write it all over again. Why is it that you developers always insist on releasing apps that's not fully working? For ex: when talkin through the camera via my phone, i have to restart the App for each and every word i say. When i get the notifications that a motion is detected i only can view on an not the others that i've got notification on. When trying to choose a date/day i want to view those clips, i can't! Fix this now please before i sell the camera.
I'm bummed out I can't download this app to my tablet. Otherwise I'm happy with it.
I love this mini cam very easy to use,just wish I could download this app on my pic . is it possible to get a free app for my own personal computer ?
It's not recording anything at all for the past week
This app just caught a burger robbing my home this morning very good
Very good app obviously peaple don't know how to use it works great easy setup
So far real good
Pretty cool
I have tried most (of not all) Google play apps with security cams over many years and this is a 5 star app compared to others like momentum. My cams are connected to a T mobile Hotspot, which in itself is a rare ability for most security devices like these.
I use this app to watch my house while I'm on deployment. I'm also able to see and check up on my baby girl as she sleeps while I'm away which is the world to me. It makes being deployed much easier knowing that my family is safe and I can watch from across the world!
Setup was easy. Usage is great. So far no complaints. Cannot view any time in past 24 hours. Just motion sensed. But that makes sense. Not sure if you can use them if the company tend goes out of business. Someone should work on a self server option now before it happens. Planning on buying 10 more. Update. Trying to add 7th camera. Get to final step and say invalid username pw. Highly confused. Emailed support. Also two way audio is lacking severely. Listening is ok. Talking is silence 70perce t of time and crackle 20percent. What the he'll. Also 5percent really low and 5percebt fine. My stand alone in house 2way system is perfect audio. Ok but stuart cam is streaming hi Fed 720p. Why is the audio so so poor. Please let me know why I can't add 7th cam. On comcast 4th something top of line rented a.c. router
It needs 90° video viewing rotation and the lights need individual controls for each one to avoid glare off of windows at night. It needs the option to delete only those videos watched or only those videos not watched, and it also needs the ability to select individual multiple videos for deletion (as opposed to "Delete All") and for downloading. It also needs a "Download then delete" option. Most of the Smart Filter controls don't work (only the last 2 do) -- they are greyed out. Video playback (in the 2nd tab) only works on auto-play, and the controls don't work at all. The video quality in normal mode (not night mode) is poor when the camera is aimed at dark or black surfaces - there are a lot of random blue static-y dots in those areas, that change position constantly. The camera itself needs to be on a height adjusting stand, and it needs lights on the side of the Minion's head itself, kind of in-set in order to hide them a bit, with the same individual controls mentioned above in the software. It also needs camera-holes on the sides (like pin-holes) to make up for blind spots. The camera runs a bit hot. Still the best $25.00 I ever spent on a surveillance camera.
Would not recognize camera with android app. Apple app ok
Wish it was faster to access the videos and that zoom was possible on recorded video also. For the price this little guy is great though!
Works well, for viewing but cannot back out after viewing a video OR after trying to delete a file. Also cannot delete the files. Delete button won't engage. Please have your developers look into these bugs.
Wont even show live video no wonder walmart had on clearance
Best $25 spent it was on clerance!
It works great love it
Workrd for a few weeks, then just freezes up your screen so you cant unlock it. Also the data usage vs the small amount netted a day is oretty dismal. Do not recommend.
Works pretty good. My only issue right now is the sensitivity seems to be either too low or too high. It either records every minor movement or barely catches anything. But otherwise I love it.
Definitely recommend this product. Love the clear picture, that you are able to interact on both ends, able to see the whole room.
Stupid thing says unfortunately the tend app has quit! All the time! Other than stopping a lot , it's o.k.
LOVE this camera. Funny how it will talk to my pup in a minon voice. clear picture, easy to use.

Thought it was a great deal so I bought two. Downloaded the app and have used four different devices to try to sign up but app keeps freezing. Even went to a friend's house to use their internet. I've messed with this for two days now. I'm returning the cameras TODAY! Tend app is just terrible to use.
