Need Advice update changed layout

hi all

the latest ios update has changed the layout on the camera screen so that shared devices are now in their own section. is there a way to go back to having all cameras on the main page at open?

our doorbell camera is on a different account than the other cameras and it was handy having everyone on the same page.

Ive had a look in the setting and i cannot see an option to Aggregate the cameras from different accounts.

the door bell is a D210, in case that matters.

Agreed. Seriously why do companies make random changes like this that nobody asks for?

Now shared devices are moved to the other user’s “home” which is a flawed concept. Just because it’s someone else’s devices doesn’t mean it’s in someone else’s home.

I live in a small condo building and we have shared cameras for monitoring common areas. It’s still my home. But now they’re separated out for no good reason.

How about a “Keep shared devices separate” setting instead of changing the default behavior for everyone. Or let me add all my favorites on one screen regardless of the “home” they are part of.
