USELESS NOTIFICATION – Foscam Review
I have three FI9800p security cameras and within the application, I have named each differently; however, every single time in the Notification Center I get this:
“FI9800p detected abnormal motion at 10:00”
And that’s it! So, which camera?
Therefore, I can never find out which camera detects motions in notification center. Hence, I must open the application. What makes matters worse is that when I open the application, I still don’t know which camera has detected motion. There is sometimes only a note above the screen saying “FI9800p detected abnormal motion at 10:00”. I still have to open each camera separately to figure out which one recorded most recently.
This is such a terrible & confusing user interface.
Folks! If Arlo works in your country, NEVER hesitate to choose Arlo instead of Foscam!
DEVELOPERS: Please AT LEAST make the notifications more dynamic. LET US FIND OUT WHICH CAMERA DETECTS MOTION BY MEANS OF NOTIFICATION CENTER!
PS: the application gets logged out quite frequently (at least once in a month). So I have to log in again! How can I find out I got kicked out? Well! I, myself, need to be more vigilant like when I don’t receive notifications for a while! —> see? Is it fine? Really? What if something happens during the time that I am not logged in. Why do I have to log in again & again?
Just frustrating...
