Samsung Wisenet 1080p HD Indoor Smartcam

I really wanted to like this camera - I Like Samsung, and I purchased this one and a PTZ version. Both caused me similar issues: * First, the desktop software will ONLY run under windows, and ONLY in Internet Explorer - It needs to download an Active-X controller, which is a massive security issue, and Microsoft themselves is discontinuing IE because of this and other issues with the platform. * iOS app is not great either - I was unable to sign up for an account from the app - it just errors out. Signed up from IE on an old windows computer, then signed in on the app to set up the camera on the wifi - which looks like it worked, until the end of the process, when it says the camera didn't actually connect - would I like to try again? Camera status indicator shows that it is connected to the wifi, so I went back to the Windows PC - was able to add the camera to the account, and now it does show in the app! Mysterious! * Motion detection is ok - it does detect and record, but while it is doing so, I was unable to connect to the camera from the iOS app * Image quality is decent - both color and low light IR illuminated were very usable, * Camera fell off wifi within about 12h, which is surprising, as I have a decent router less than 10' from the camera location. * No support for time lapse - This wasn't in the manual, but I was hoping it would be included - nope. * Check the returns policy - I went to return this, but its at-cost returns, even if the item is faulty it seems. Disappointing. Digging deeper - I think this is a white labelled product that Samsung has branded, but isn't even up to their usual less than perfect software standard. Spring for the extra $$ and get a supported Google or Amazon product. I'm also looking at the Panasonic version. Hope this was helpful! - Dan
