I have been using the So catch watchdog app for catch/preview DVR's for many years. It has been good software for good DVR's with only minor glitches compared to the rubbish software that is all too often supplied by uninterested companies for their cheap and shoddy DVR's. It has worked reliably for years, and I cannot remember it crashing on my Samsung mobiles. Oops, now the 1st bad MISTAKE from andi pratama and catch. On the latest version installed on my Samsung Android mobile, ver 1.4.5 January 2021 from Google Play Store, there is a "settings cog" at the top of the initial app page where a DVR can be selected from a list of the various DVR connections already defined. In the "settings" panel, the only parameter displayed is "Try to use Hardware decoding." which is defaulted as "ticked". This parameter has created a new issue where this So catch/watchdog app would crash very time I selected a connection to my DVR on the initial screen. I only found this faulty parameter setting by luck. As a potential quick fix suggestion, try changing the default for the "Try to use Hardware decoding." parameter to "unticked" and save all your existing fans the torment of finding this fix for themselves.

Connection Failed. Apparently developer ignoring reviews. Contacting my provider tomorrow which may lead to me switching alarm companies if they won't change their system. I usually don't rate apps but this has been terrible for so long. UPDATE: Here it is five years later and STILL major problems with the app since the last update! PLEASE UPDATE AND FIX THE PROBLEM AGAIN!! STICKING WITH ONE STAR!!

I am not alone with this problem. Since last update can't connect on tablet or phone. Keeps coming up check network or user/password. Can view cameras on my desktop, but that's when I am in property. Surely the point of the App is to view your property when you out. PLEASE GET IT FIXED

Please teach how to reboot the dvr function before I amend the star rating to 5, thanks. The app has been horrible, cctv cameras run for not even a complete 1 minute, and they're frozen. It is depressing to be honest. The app was never this bad last time. Update: found reboot button inside Control, but not responsive (facepalm)
