I picked up one of these a couple of weeks ago and have been really pleased with it so far, it is a very neat bit of kit and does a great job providing reassurance that all is ok at home when you are away. Highly recommended and a great price.

Yeah. I put mine into modem mode ages ago and use an Asus r7000. I suspect it is device incompatibility with my oneplus 2 as it seems to work OK with my wife's Samsung.

I had issues setting mine up initially but after a bit of playing around I established the issue was actually my Virgin Super(!) Hub which was also causing me issues when trying to get a new Harmony Remote hub set up.
I decided to get a new router and put the Superhub into modem mode and it has worked like a dream since.

same here.. nightmare!! firstly, it wouldn't communicate with my phone.
After a few hours i got it to work, but the live viewing is very poor ... frozen image with audio only. Hardly what i call a live view. My old £25 D-link IP camera did i much better job. And i'm on a Virgin 100 Meg connection!! ..
Accidentally set up multiple locations on the app and there is no way to remove one.
I can't see myself keeping this to be honest. I'm in 90% mind to send it back.

Got one and has been a nightmare to set up. Won't get past the initial app login. Luckily Amazon are arranging a swap. See if the next one works.

I wonder if it is related to your router? Which one do you have?

Can they just un-plug it to disable the alarm?

tbh, a burglar would just cut the internet line just outside the house before entering. As a security system, an old fashioned closed system with siren is a must.

Reviews say Iphone app is good, but Android poor. Anyone using this with Android?
