overall reliability and improvements – Netvue Review

I don’t want to be negative. I really don’t. I have 7 vigil Netvue cameras. I’ve been a user for a year plus now. Kelly was helpful when I was in need for a support. My neighborhood had a few issues and I have to have something reliable to be able to have an evidence. That’s were Netvue fails. A few critical times cameras didn’t work due to who knows why. I have micro SD installed but somehow the recording didn’t happened. It applies to other user comments - motion detection fails short with no reason (I don’t pretend AI will recognize a moving object and it seems to be available as the subscription perk). Audio (both way communication) is not feasible though one way you may hear but with some noticeable latency. I found so far that the cameras withstand the weather pretty well though I’m covering cameras where possible. Lagging network connection (my wireless is set with one of the top routers and decent DOCSYS 3.1 modem (my provider’s feed is 300 mbps). I manage my devices but it seems that too many Netvue cameras under 2.4 ghz are creating lags. Latest app, updated a week ago us s joke. Unable to connect to the internet?? Getting message that Settings - General - Data loading failed, please try again later - is concerning. The cameras are upgraded to the latest version 1285? The power adapter power cable should be longer. I’d rather not to invest into third party extension cables. Please read closely about privacy. Yet we agreed to send data to PR China and that can be a security issue. And the phone battery is being eaten by app quite a lot.
