The new app works really well on my Mac mini M2. I am very impressed at how quickly it launches and starts showing all the feeds - wish the desktop app were anything like as good as this is.

The only issue is that I did manage somehow to get the window to rotate as if it was running on a phone and I had rotated it. The way I got it back to the correct orientation was to choose the smaller window size in Settings... for the app, then when it relaunched it was the correct orientation again.

Why can't you buy the HomeHub by itself? I have a site with a Doorbell PoE which is crying out for a HomeHub, and once there is a HomeHub there it will be easy to add further cameras to it.

@joseph_1979 I have installed Wireshark on the Synology box but unfortunately I cannot work out how to capture the FTP traffic.

@joseph_1979 Yes, FW is at version v3.0.0.3215_2401262241

I have seen a couple of transfers be successful now, but it is totally random. It will work sometimes but then stop working with exactly the same settings. I do think there must be a bug in the FTP function which is causing the transactions to fail some of the time but not all the time.

Having to wait 30 minutes between posts is seriously doing my head in! I cannot wait any longer right now - I have other things to do so I will not be able to come straight back to you.

@joseph_1979 There is no PC involved - just the doorbell camera straight to the Synology box over the internet. I get an error "450 Unkown error" when I use the Test function from the camera. Also of interest is that the camera has no problem creating date-organised folders on the FTP server (ie 2024 with 03 inside it and 06 inside that). The .txt file inside the last folder is zero bytes, though. The FTP log records the creation of the folders, and the user logging in successfully for the FTP transfer, but there is no record of the text file being written.

I have tried disabling SSL (ie switching off FTPS) but it makes no difference.

I have also tried changing the transport mode as there are suggestions this might help elsewhere on the web, but no joy. I am beginning to think that the FTP function is simply broken. It is frustrating because the folders get created OK, so this is working, but it just does not seem possible to transfer a file.

Just tried to post this and was denied because it has not been 1800 seconds since my last post - half an hour! Why are there such ridiculous constraints on using this board - it is almost unusable. Maybe that is the idea?

@joseph_1979 The user on the Synology box for the FTP transfers has full read/write access to the share, permission to use the FTP application, and no quota limiting it.

I can't write any more here without triggering the unsuitable content filter - why, I have absolutely no clue.

@joseph_1979 Thanks - hopefully I will be able to post this, although getting through the various filters has been problematic. I have a Doorbell PoE camera which I have set up to sync to a Synology box using FTP. The camera connects to the Synology and can write a file to it, so no apparent problems with authetication, but the file has zero bytes in it. Any ideas what might be causing this?

I have tried and tried to alter my text here but I cannot find wording that meets the "respectful guidelines". I totally don't know what it could possibly be that is wrong with my wording, but basically the FTP function does not seem to work. I tried to explain what I have done but the website does not permit me to do so.

@joseph_1979 Latest version I have just downloaded and installed is v3.0.0.3215_2401262241.

@joseph_1979 The password is only one element of authentication, so if you can also have a setup where the username is different than expected it adds very substantially to the level of security. Also people are not good at using unique passwords (I know, they should do, but we live in the real world!) so having a different username helps to avoid that problem.

It may be true that most SMTP servers require the email address, but believe me that is not ALL servers! As I say, it is a very good added degree of security to have a different username than the email address.
