Good start but missing few key features – Amazon Cloud Cam Review

Star- - for no Apple TV app. Star++ for night vision control. Good job. Star- - for unreliable home/away. (its your killer feature) Need four more features. 0. I noticed home / away doesn’t work well on a iPhone 7 Plus 128GB / iPhone X 256GB. Especially the part we expect it to turn the camera back on when no one is home. Unclear what the issue is but the app should scan device setting for anything that can hinder this from working. For example, low battery mode being on, background app refresh being off, location service being disabled, etc. I also read reports that if the phone with home/away registered is turned off the home/away fails to work even after its turned back on. In my case home/away stopped working when I upgraded from iPhone 6 to iPhone X and transferred all my data/apps. I made sure Cloud Cam was uninstalled on the old device and configured properly on new device. 1. Introduce the concept of household for the sake of home/ away feature. What’s the point of having home/away feature if it only works for 1 person/account in the household? 2. Partition settings page into local vs global settings. Local is a setting that impacts a given phone/tablet device such as notification frequency. Global setting would be things like night vision setting which impacts the camera and is shared across all phone/tablet devices. 3. Apple TV app. Cancelling subscription and switching over to another ip cam if this isn’t fixed ASAP. Side note, I want the green led to always stay on when it’s monitoring. This coupling makes the camera on our premise tolerable for privacy conscious people. This is the feature that made us ditch our existing Logitech and Flir cams. This camera is at best a deterrent and I don’t think the ability to turn the led off would be more useful. The bad guys will just rob in their hoodies.
