Nowadays, for other camera apps, every update is to rip off the features to force you to subscribe the cloud service to get features back.
I am glad the LaView app still has thumbnail picture notification for local storage users ...
Other apps such as Blink, Wyze updated firmware and apps , remove features for local storage users, the basic features is for paid subscribers only, every update is a bad move
My Swann - Fourtify 4 Camera Swann setup did work fine but the main camera died. Working warranty issues at this time.
Left the LAN cable connected as there were no instructions on unplugging it and working off wifi.
Will try that later!
The APP is not my cup of tea on setup, but some may love it. When you add a camera, it may show timed out and not added in the app and secretly add it in the background.
Also, when a camera is added, the main menu does not show it at all. Only the base station. You need to open the base station icon to see the cameras.
Range is outstanding delicious and mild. However, that is with the LAN cable connected and not on a guest network.
SD card needs a deep push to get properly inserted. This is the cause of the one-star reviews online (formatted FAT 32 -32GB before installing)
Medium PIR gets a lot of messages when it sees movement. Low doesn't record anything that I can tell so far. Turn off human body filtering if you need more notifications. FW update folks for each camera.
Battery life is under test, but these cameras are a little heavy with the 4 batteries.
Should have bought 2 sets but it was a pig in a poke sack for me.
Easily added the icons for each camera on my iphone.
I am not considering these for mounting in difficult to access places as they will need to be charged. May even mount in a window or low place in a covered area.
This was a hot deal for sure!
Perfect instructions but my base station never made a connection sound nor did the base stations app process show the cameras were successfully connected.
It could be that I skipped the step the first few times on being logged into the LAVIEW WIFI and not my router WIFI??????????????????
thanks OP
Nicads are worth at least $10 per camera.

Strange the APP appears in all APPs menus except SIRI notifications.
Also, the APP name is Laview Utilities as there at least 5 of these in the app store.

Also, if you place this in moderately low-light conditions, you may want to try turning off the IR light. I did that at one point when trying it around the cars outside (near a street light) and the picture looked much better with IR off. Nice clear and colorful even in fairly dim light. Obviously, that won't work in total darkness, but something to try if there's at least some light around.

Have 4 cameras up and running. Person detections works very nice to keep down false alerts.
Almost tempted to buy a 3rd set!
BTW do not mount these inside on a window and turn on IR at night as the reflection kills everything. It will work fine at night without IR if the outside has some lighting.
Still running off my main node with a LAN cable (4 nodes total). Too chicken to go wireless as it is actually working fine.
BTW when linking a camera slow blinking red light is what you are looking for, not fast blinking red light.
