Many users experience frequent disconnections when using USB mode, which disrupts their streaming sessions and requires them to restart their devices.
“USB mode allows full camera controls but disconnects often and lags.”
Users report that the NDI mode often fails to connect to OBS, making it unreliable for live streaming, which is a critical use case for many.
“NDI connect over Wifi, the vast majority of the time it does not connect.”
Users are frustrated that the ability to save recorded motion events to their computers has been removed, forcing them to pay for a subscription to access this feature.
“I can no longer save recorded motion activated events automatically on my computer for review at a later time.”
