I scanned the QR code on the back of the camera with my phone and connected just fine, but it will not smart connect to wifi with the QR code that shows up on my phone!

Since the last iOS update (to 10.2) app no longer connects to cameras using cellular data. Works fine if you're on wifi but if you're away from home, you won't be able to put the cameras to use the way you would hope. I'd recommend NOT BUYING LOREX / FLIR cameras until the app can be fixed cause you won't be able to use it the way it should which is to check it while you're not at home.

You can tell from the update history that this app doesn't get a lot of attention. This is surprising when you spend several hundred dollars on a home security system to find out it doesn't allow you to see any of your security footage. The most recent iOS update does not allow for any push notifications from the cameras. If you try to contact support you either wait over an hour on hold or get nobody to help! To make matters worse is when you finally get a hold of someone and when they say they'll call you back, they never do. This app is also not optimized for the screen size of iPhones that have been out since 2014! Get with the times.

The notifications on iOS devices stopped working a few months ago. Please fix.

Why can't they correct the connection issues? This camera is absolutely terrible. Poorly designed UI. If I could chuck the camera at the engineers I would in a heartbeat. DON'T BOTHER WITY LOREX. BUY A PIPER. FLAWLESS.

I'm trying to type in the camera info from the old version of ping and it won't let you type in the spaces. Running latest version on iPhone 6s.

Downloaded, scanned the QR code, entered a password, and got an immediate error when trying to access the camera. THEN I read the reviews...order of operations was off. Stick with the old one if it is working for you. I'm going to delete this one.

Will not display notifications or video. Everything is set up correctly and I can see the light on the camera flash when it senses motion or sound. But no notification shows up on my phone. iPhone 5s. No video unless on MY wifi. Defeats purpose of having this camera. WILL BE BUYING A CANERA FROM A HIGHER QUALITY COMPANY. NOT THIS CHINESE JUNK. NO UPDATES TO tAPP IN OVER A YEAR.

Worst part of this app and the Lorex service: if you iPhone or the camera loses the internet connection it does not automatically attempt to reconnect the phone to the camera stream. When you are a parent using it for a baby monitor this is a big deal as it can drop out while you sleep, this rendering it useless as a monitor. Note that I am in an apartment with many potential sources of WiFi I interference, so I know have one camera hardwired over Ethernet. But that doesn’t help me when my iPhone loses connectivity.

The app finds my camera but when I attempt to input a name or password, no keypad is displayed. I’m running iOS 11.2.
