Bad web interface - dome cameras

Good:1. The picture quality is good for this price.2. The app works well and is easy to use. Bad: 1. The web interface is very bad, only minimal settings. Cannot view multiple cameras.2. If you're using DHCP, its ports are also set dynamically, so the port changes every time it updates the IP address. This is important if you want to use IE on Windows to connect to the camera. You must use: http://IP_Address:port3. The phone app only gives you a MAC address, not an IP address with a port number. It is very helpful if the application shows the IP address with the port number according to point 2.4 above. You need to use the downloadable utility to find the IP and port number on the PC.5. There are no instructions in the box on how to connect the camera via a Windows PC, I had to do my own research online.6. The app asked me to link to an email address but when I got the email the link didn't work so I guess I have to live with the reminder popup every time I open the app . Overall a decent camera. although I prefer CamHi's web interface. If you want to use the web interface, you should use a static IP address with a static port number. This will make your life much easier.
