Nokia Home Cam - Video & Air Quality Monitor

I have this set up on my work phone, an apple, and it works great. On my Samsung S8 the app is near unusable. Video won't load. Updates come but problem remains. Will make it 5stars as soon as it's as good here as ios

Moved from iOS to Samsung S8 and really disappointed! Camera is nice piece of hardware, but Android app sucks! This shouldn't happened to the serious company... NOKIA wake-up call!!!

Beautiful and right gadgets but hasn't worked properly since I bought it, signal and connection bad, no phone call support and doesnt work on android; huge shame!

Live video will not load, playback of recorded video is hit and miss. Rubbish!

This hasn't worked properly since the day we bought it and has unfortunately only gotten worse. Biggest waste of money.

The live video feed won't work since the update to Nokia from Withings. It just keeps saying that it is loading.

Waste of money and time. They broke it a year ago. I ran mine over with my car

Load of rubbish on Android. Barely works. Used to be Withings home before Nokia and useless then.

It is unusable on both S7 and Nexus 7. If there are no plans for a serious update from Nokia soon I am thinking of sending it back.

I must say i like this cam very much! Honestly, after reading the reviews here, which were all mostly negative, i was a little affraid, but now after i got it really don't understand such complains... sure its not a perfect cam, but image quality i great, zoom capability is awasome, noise alerts work, air quality feature is super! i can only conclude that the people who complain probably have weak devices, i mean when you have streaming apps on your phone you have to expect to have a device that has a high standard on hardware, this is normal you can`t expect to have the same performance in a low spec phone as in a samsung s8... this is probably why people that have an iphone don't complain, its a high spec.phone. I personally own a xiaomi mi5, its a high spec phone with very fast processor and integrated powerfull graphics processor. Dev team, my congratulations to you for a great job, good reviews are also a goos incentive to keep up the good work i guess ;) There are for sure some bugs, sometimes the image turns black, not often but happens, if i go to settings and come back to live it seems it reload so my suggestion would be for you include a refresh option while on image mode, this would help a lot. The design is beautiful, i would enjoy personally to have it with battery, maybe in the next model! Thanks again!

Unable to connect to IFTTT and the cam once loaded shows blank picture.

App sucks!! I will only get the message 'Your camera cannot be reached'.

If you need to use this on Android, return it. It does not work on Android.

Mine just switched to 24/7 grayscale a while ago. Otherwise works mostly ok.

Works ok on ios will not stream on samsung sort it out

This won't work for other companies .. it ll work for Nokia only

Live view is unstable

This will only work with nokia phones

Does not install on a android very disappointed

Flakey app

*UPDATE 6-25-17* the past few weeks since the last software update the video feed only shows in black and white/yellow, or turns completely black. Please fix this issue with a software update and I will update my rating/review. note 4, sprint, lollipop 5.1.1 ***UPDATE10-25 app keeps freezing when trying to play yesterday's recorded feeds. Todays Recorded vids work fine. PLEASE FIX.*** **UPDATE12-07** just updated my rating to 5 stars. very happy with the work withings is putting into their app.

The buttons to turn the music on and whatnot are too low and they get cut off by my home, back, and window button. Video doesn't work ever and when it does it is pixelated and all sorts of distorted. Worked fine until recently. This camera is useless because of this. Fix this.

We've had the Home Cam for about four months. Out of the box, it installed quickly and easily, and worked reasonably well. The live feed was fine, but the recorded footage didn't usually work. That wasn't a deal breaker for us, though. Then, a few weeks or so ago we were forced to do a software update by the app. Ever since, we've been unable to reconnect to the camera. We've done a factory reset and I've pored over the online manual, but no matter what we do, we can't get the camera to turn any color but orange and can't reconnect to it. At this point, if the problem isn't fixed soon then we'll be requesting a refund so we can spend our money on a Nest. If Withings/Nokia can help us fix this, we'd be grateful and would update this review accordingly.

Only gave it a 1 star cos Google Play doesn't allow me to put negative star. This app sucks, the security camera sucks, it doesn't work, when it does it only works for 2 hours then it turns itself off. Waste of $200.

Update: your newest update for Android causes it not to be able to connect at all. But still connects on iOS. Good to know now that Nokia owns it is still the same faulty products This is the worst app. It's like a beta version It's never worked properly and is always crashing to 20 times in the past week if it's not ready don't release it and get your programmers to create a good app for the system we paid a lot of money for the camera and it should work properly and don't give us a development version

Awful. Always claims that it can't connect to the wifi, even when its plugged into the Ethernet cable. I've switched out 8 of these!!! I habe the fastest internet possible and still can't connect. Don't spend the $200 on this device, because the app NEVER works!!!

hire a bunch of testers. UPDATE: Meanwhile they got bought by Nokia. They changed the fonts and artworks but the apps codebase is the same. If you're not capable of fixing the app at least give us ssh access to the camera so that i can do whatever i want with it.

The camera and app worked well for about 2 minutes, after that the problems started. Green screens, black screens, "cannot connect to camera," and many times the app brought me back to the start screen because it would not connect to the camera. I bought this as a baby monitor but clearly it cannot function in that capacity due to no reliability.

The first 10 seconds you get a fantastic view. After that you'll get a fantastic green screen and see nothing. What's wrong with you guys?

Doesn't connect to live feed most of the time and when it does, the colors are off (screen is mostly black with some colorful streaks). The app crashes everyday. Speaker function doesn't always work. The whole thing works like it's supposed to only about 10% of the time.

It doesn't work over Bluetooth

Nota really working with galaxy S8 android v7

Live camera never worked.

Absolute Garbage.

Loads fast, but most of the time getting bad or no video on my s8 plus in landscape

Useless don't by the hardware, app and cloud service not worth the money. You will not be able to watch the recordings. Over sensitive to noice movement and if it does record it misses the moments that are interesting. Have had it since almost the beginning and withings haven't improved it. Withings makes good hardware but they can't make software. And they can't stream recorded or live videos over internet.

Unstable. Such a shame that this App is unstable on Android. The video suffers graphical corruption and the notifications sometimes crash the app. It works well on iOS such a shame the developers have not fixed issues on Android yet

Terrible app. Laggy. Can't see live feeds most of the times. Hate it. I expected a good work from such a high end device.

Horrible app doesn't work At all. Must hard reboot for it to work and even then. Update app ASAP or I'll be returning it!

Bought the camera and installed the app today. Finding that it works fibre if I fully exit the app and restart it.but if it is minimised and running in the background it can't show video a second time. Black screen says loading and doesn't move on. Also, switching between night vision and nor needs an app restart. Otherwise the app is fine, would really like to see a fix for that; especially at £120. Also, an option to record video to an sd card or WiFi direct/NAT drive rather than just paying for cloud based saves. Haven't noticed any issues with lag and the quality seems good Edit. 24 hours later I am unable to connect, have reinstalled app multiple times, the lag when it did connect was so bad my child could've had any number of issues and I wouldn't have known till it wag too late. Therefore this app is, in my opinion, unsafe if you are thinking of using the camera as a baby monitor. I'll be returning the camera and uninstalling the app as it is not fit for purpose
