★★★★★
The app works well with my five P2 cameras. There have been updates to banish a few bugs, and I'm really pleased with the quality and price of the Dericam cameras.
★★★★★
It works pretty well most of the time. An easy fix when the cam stops - turn the power off/on to the camera. Then it will reboot and work fine. As of June 9, 2022, email notifications don't work. Looks like Google blocked access to less secure apps. Note that Dericam app hasn't been updated for a couple of years. I emailed Dericam asking for help regarding email alerts. As suggested, need to turn on 2-step verification and create an independent app password for email then it works fine.
★★☆☆☆
No longer can connect to any of my 4 cameras. Not on three devices. Google needs to pull this SW from the APP STORE.
★★☆☆☆
Currently, the app is completely useless. Cameras work well currently, although they only recently will connect via Wi-Fi after about 5 months of the same behavior stated by others in reviews. Biggest issue is all cameras have been reset to factory settings trying to connect them to network and without the app functioning, cannot set a new password which means...useless.
★★☆☆☆
Every other day, 1 camera has to be rest and connected to network. Annoying. Ready to give up on Dericam.
