Rarely works!

Both the app and webview for this camera are just awful. I can rarely get it to stream video for longer than a few minutes and even at that the noise will cut in and out. It is horrible at maintaining a connection to the camera. I know it's not my WiFi connection bc I have a different brand camera (dropcam) that works flawlessly. Do not waste your money on this product. Extremely inconsistent and should not be trusted with something as precious as the monitoring of your child. Very disappointed.
Lacks Support/Updates

Philips has not kept up with necessary security updates. As of April 2014 the Insight cameras no longer connect to Dropbox. The cameras are now useless as you cannot save and watch recorded video of your motion/sound alerts.
Stop!!!

Stop and read before you purchase!! I bought a Phillips Insight camera as a security measure. Easy to set up and to top it off, pictures and video were sent to my Dropbox account. Everything worked great for over a year. Recently the app was updated and since then I have not been able to playback alerts, be they audio or video. It no longer sends files to my Dropbox account. Tech support is useless. I tried one camera on my sister's network to see if I would be able to playback alerts I received. It did not work. My network is not the problem!! It is the app. Do not purchase this camera until this app it updated. It has not been updated in a long time. I do not recommend this product now.
One of the poorest apps - and no support

Unfortunately most of the poor reports are quite right. I own two monitors, because I liked the idea that they also measure the temperature and they claim "HD". But the app works 1 of 3 times, mostly it claimes that all cameras are offline. It takes ages to connect if they are not. And since the Heartbleed bug, the support for Dropbox has been cancelled, so you receive warnings, but cannot see anything because the clips are not stored anymore and the cameras that just sent an alarm are offline...
Really clunky

Great idea, bad implementation. The UI isn't very intuitive, and features seem to lock up or not respond often. I have to close the app and remove it from multitask to get things to start working again.
A joke - a toy - waste of money

It has a few nice features...if it worked! I've given this system two years of wasted time. All of the updates along the way have not improved. Maybe even worse. One of my cameras no longer works. Response on app is frustratingly slow. Just replaced w Dropcam system which is considerable improvement already. Apple Store no longer carries In.Sight system. This is the second Philips item purchased in my lifetime. Both have failed miserably. First being a CD recorder years back that was equally unreliable and quit working altogether. I'll never buy another Philips product again.
Good But Needs Improvement

We have been using this system & app for a year now. The cameras work terrifically & the app is easy enough to use; however, the online aspect is lacking. The live streaming frequently goes offline & the app will crash. Sometimes the streaming will work on on device but not another. We have been fairly satisfied with this as it does work. I would be apt to give it more stars if it didn't go offline so often. I actually bought a different baby monitor today since this app has become increasingly undependable for monitoring. Should the developers improve streaming function & fix the glitches, it'll be a 5 star app for sure. Until then though, we are switching to another monitor.
Update? REALLY?!

I was so excited to finally see an update for this app, but was disappointed to find that it has actually made it WORSE!! How can it be possible that an update could make it worse?! I hate these cameras! As soon as I get new ones, I will be taking great delight in smashing these to pieces and deleting this app forever. How dare you make me spend $200 for this worthless junk and still charge an annual fee for live streaming! I will NEVER use a philips product again! NEVER!!!
Just Useless

Couldn't have said it any better myself John. Hope folks read these reviews prior to buying a useless camera. BTW, what happened to the old reviews?
