A shared user has no ability to use this as a security camera. My friend is the owner of the camera, and shared it with me. I am only able to view the live stream, and a event time-line with timestamps. This time line does not allow me to view a static photo or video of the event as a shared user. I cannot view sd card recorded videos either, so this is useless for more than one person, unless you share accounts. Not sure if the shared user also pays for plus if these problems are fixed.
