How do I zoom in using the camera? If I need details on something like a license plate that is 15 to 20 yards away, right now it’s just a blurry picture.
Why can’t I get the app to work on my mobile phone? It works perfectly on my tablet using the same wifi etc. On my phone it won’t even go into settings.
The Account verification involving dragging a ball to a tennis racket does not work. Tried repeatedly and no verification code.
The customer service experience was extremely disappointing. Instead of speaking with a human representative, I was left conversing with a computerized chatbot. Additionally, attempts to reach them via phone went unanswered, exacerbating my frustration. The advertised features turned out to be deceptive, particularly the camera’s night vision capability. Rather than providing a full-color view as promised on Amazon, the image appears completely black with white spots. This raises suspicions of potential fraud. It seems that posting messages or complaints yields no fruitful results, making it feel like a futile waste of time.
It took forever for software to create an account and allow me to register.. possibly a red flag for further issues. Very disappointed this far.
Awful customer service. I chatted with computer not a human. Customer service doesn’t answer phone. False advertising. Camera image is totally black at night with white spots. No full color as promised on Amazon.. fraud perhaps? Posting messages is a waste of time it seems.
You can change that in the settings. Color night vision is one of the options. Tap the 3 dots> settings> image settings> night vision mode
Hope this helps!
Unable to get set up,

I’m not able to register to create an account?
After pulling tennis ball onto racket,I enter ver. Code from email. I create a PW re-enter PW. And click DONE

ANYONE??
Hello, I recently installed Eseecloud on my iPhone. The home station records “AI Playback” with mini-videos when motion detected.
I do not see any “events” or “alerts” on my iPhone playback. The entire video is available for Playback.
Could you please help me set up so I see events/alerts and select them?
Thank you
