Reviewer: Alex Chen
Date: October 26, 2023
Product: Sentinel Home Security System v3.0
Rating: ★★☆☆☆
Subject: Performance Dip After Recent Update
I've been a loyal user of the Sentinel system for nearly two years, and usually, it's been quite reliable. However, following the recent firmware update (around October 15th), I've noticed a significant degradation in performance. The motion detectors seem less responsive, and the app frequently loses connection, requiring a manual reconnect each time. This is particularly concerning given the 'building security update' was supposed to enhance stability. Is anyone else experiencing this? I've tried rebooting the system and my router, but the issue persists. Hoping for a swift resolution or a rollback option.
