I have four cameras in my system. When I setup for smart night vision, image is black and white only, day and night. When I switch for full color show in colors but can see nothing in nighttime. What can I do to fix it?
I cannot see my CCTV from EseeCloud app right after the site manager comment about bad my review on Google Play (I put only 1 point for this app comparing to other CCTV app) .
He leave some comment for feedback my review, and after that I cannot access any more.
To recover my access, I delete my original comment.
Please recover my account to access my CCTV. I will monitor your feedback.
My camera calibration is off, it keeps pointing in a weird direction (up and right) how do I get it to calibrate the correct way (pointed forward and center).
Jerk!
Weird!
Why do you delete negative comments….shame on you.
This is the most frustrating application I’ve ever used. After loading my PC with BluestacksX emulator and EseeCloud all seemed fine for live viewing all eight cams on my system. When I tried to download a time segment of saved video is when it all fell apart. Not only did it take a half hour to download a half hour clip, when the download was finished it completely disappeared from my hard drive. The download file path in the settings indicated C://Program Files (x86) and that was it. When I searched that folder sure enough there was an EseeCloud folder and for the love of me could not find the downloaded file. Something tells me the guy who wrote the code for this app was in a hurry. So now I’ve given up trying to use it for anything other than viewing the cams live on the PC. So much for “simple and elegant application”!
Even this website doesn’t work. Sheesh!
How do you log out of the app?
Can I connect the camera with RJ45?
I cannot connect it with Wifi, it always fails
I don’t know why you buy a security camera and everything thing has been running great your getting your videos right on your phone to view and the notifications and all

You have to watch the whole video play back that takes all day to do so in stead of just the motion ones it makes me mad that I have to do this and all you know is you’re videos are out in the universe some where but where how can I solve this problem then to put the cramas in the trash
Hi, you can only view motion video.
In the News screen > click the alarm you want to view, there is a ‘View video’ button in the bottom right corner, you can view 30 seconds of alarm video here
