User Reviews and Ratings
★★☆☆☆ Push notifications require subscription
Push notifications only work if you have purchased the desktop app AND have an extended support subscription.
★★★☆☆ Why charge for the app???
I like the system, but if we’re already paying for the software, why must each user pay another $9 for the app? Feels like a bit of a money grab. Take a note from UniFi - their app is free.
★★★★☆ Pretty good so far
Running with BI app on an iPhone 15 and BI on an i7 desktop to view 3 IP cameras at 20 fps and relatively high resolution. Somewhat complicated for beginners. Wish I knew how to change the push notification sound. Also curious about needing to pay the yearly update charge for BI.
★★☆☆☆ Needs a serious update
I’ll say it’s a good app. But it needs to be updated. This is a surveillance app and it’s hard to scrub through footage. Its main purpose should be easily look through camera feeds and history. It needs a complete redesign.
★★★★★ Antiquated UI but gets the job done
Read all reviews
The UI is antiquated and the app could use a refresh (though supposedly this is coming soon with BI 6?), but the app is reliable and gets the job done. I’ve found it to be very stable and am able to key in on cameras quickly when I receive an alert. Full disclosure, I use HA to send alerts to my devices and use the app solely for monitoring (not alerts) - easier when you have a lot of devices that you want alerts sent to to but only want to pay for the app on one or two devices
