Question 1

Can you turn it on and off via your smartphone app? I don't want it on when I or someone I know is at home. I only want it on when the house is empty

Accepted Answer

no, you cant reboot/restart or turn it off/on via phone app or web browser.  The only way to turn it off/on is but disconnecting the power locally.

Question 2

Anyone get this working with Samsung Smarthings?

Accepted Answer

No, it doesn't not work with smart things as of the date of this posting.  Many threads online and feedback from owners thinking Samsung cameras would work with a Samsung Hub.  Some have been waiting 2 years (since this camera came out0 and unfortunately, the camera and hub do not connect yet.

Question 3

What happens if the SD card runs out of room?  Will it "start over?" or will it just stop recording?

Accepted Answer

There's a setting to choose "continuous" -- if set, the camera will record about 30GB to a 32GB card and then start overwriting the oldest recordings.  I find a 32GB card with motion and sound activation can last two or more weeks in a busy location.  If you turn off "continuous" the camera will record till the card is full, then continue to send alerts, but without recordings on the local card.I'll also mention we found this HD Plus to have inferior low light sensitivity compared to the SmartCam HD (SNH‑P6410BN) and both cameras have a lot of noisy, dead pixels in low light.  The software is also very slow, cumbersome and inconvenient if you're checking multiple cameras.  The notification process is quickly overwhelmed and becomes unwieldy.  At least it is free, but if you want a local recording off the memory card, you have to be able to access the camera (stop its recordings manually in the software at the browser or smartphone app) then retrieve the card and read off the video files using a computer.  Reviewing video events using the browser or phone app is also impossibly time-consuming and laborious with no productivity tools to simplify reviewing video.  It's just not well designed for actual home security applications.  Personally, as no "expert" but with a years of experience in multiple locations with a variety of home security surveillance cameras, I think there are better solutions for similar costs, with the advantage of better productivity when actually using the system, and without paying for monthly fees or sending private video to unknown vendor servers.

Question 4

Is it normal for this camera to get hot? I just installed it and it seems to get very warm, bordering on hot.

Accepted Answer

It normal for new device to get warm but not too warm (hot). Turn it off and let it cool off a bit. If it gets really hot again, try to plug it on a different outlet. If the problem continues, please return it for a new one.
