Good camera for a good price
I love easy this camera was to install and setup. I’ve had some before where there are way too steps and half the time it doesn’t even work. This camera was set up in no time. The camera image quality is perfect as well for the price of the camera. It has a good night vision as well. I would definitely purchase more of these cameras to have in different areas of my home. I will definitely be recommending this camera to any family and friends looking for one. I’m happy with this order.

The app that this camera runs on is WORST of the worst.
DO NOT BUY! The camera is actually decent. But the app to use it is HORRIBLE! It took me an hr to even sign up to the app. And now the camera are "offline" and the app freezes and shuts down. I should've read the app reviews because it is not dependable or reliable. Someone broke into my house so I wanted piece of mind to check the house whenever I wanted. But this hasn't helped in the slightest. I'll definitely be returning.

Was great, then 3 camera system went offline. Dead. Can’t trust the system
I really liked these at first. They were a touch sensitive to set up, but it worked. My only complaint was that they didn’t tag the stored videos with motion detection indicators to make it easy to look back and find activity. You needed to use their alerts, pretty messy if you have a lot of activity as you are getting endless alerts on your phone - but each alert will take you directly to a video clip. Would work well if you are wanting to review any activity.Then is all died at once.All three cameras started blinking blue LEDs. And I can no longer login via either my phone or iPad. Dead. Customer support has been unreachable. Power cycling the cameras doesn’t help. I could try full resets and going through setup again, but if I can’t trust this system when I’m away I’ll return it instead.I’ll update if I hear back from support.

Excellent value for the money - better than Ring
We've been using this cam for close to a month now, basically as a "kennel cam" so we can watch our new puppy while we're at work. So far, we are extremely impressed. We discovered its durability on day one, as we were going through the set-up procedure. Our new pup came running through the dining room, tripped on the cord, and flung the camera to the floor. (Not only did it keep working, I was recording at the time and we got some very amusing footage.)Set-up was super easy and only took about 5 minutes. The app is easy to use and fairly intuitive, and it has just about all the features you could ever want. The app maybe isn't 100% polished in places, but I've used apps for much more expensive cameras that were no better (more on that later.)The camera comes with a nice long USB cord, and it has a micro-SD slot for recording video. Literally the only issue I've had with this camera was getting the micro SD inserted. When clicked into place, the edge of the card actually sits well below the surface of the camera shell, which makes it hard to install with just your finger. I ended up using the tip of a ball point pen to push it into place.This cam has an alarm feature that alerts your phone every time it senses activity. You can adjust the sensitivity, and even the time of day the alarm function is on. Every time the alarm goes off, the cam automatically records a short video of the activity. It also has an audible intruder alarm on the camera itself, which can be turned off and on. All these features make it an ideal indoor security cam. It also has a mic and speaker function for two way communication via the app.The picture quality on this camera is amazing for the price. Very sharp, and very little frame drop in the video. One thing that has really impressed me is how much better this cam works than our Ring doorbell which was 5 times more expensive! Our Ring has lousy picture quality (heavily pixelated video, dropped frames, etc.) even though it's actually CLOSER to the wi-fi source. After less than six months, alerts on the Ring now only work intermittently. And it has no SD card slot, so I'm forced to pay Ring $3 a month just so I can store and play back the crappy videos it takes. Other than an actual doorbell button, this cam has every single feature my Ring has (and them some). It works 10 times better and costs 1/5 as much ($20 vs $100). If anybody from Ring happens to see this, you should really be ashamed for the buggy piece of junk you foist on people. The best part of the Ring experience has been the app, and even that is less intuitive after the last update.Bottom line, this cam is a great purchase. Even if it only lasts a year (and I have no reason to think that would be the case) it would still be a far better value than some much more expensive competing products. I'm going to order at least two or three more.

Ok for the price
After having this camera for three months, I would say it's just ok. The motion detection alarm pics up everything. Passing clouds, lightning, headlights at night, and of course someone in the house. The number of alert messages that I get is a little discouraging. But, I can open the app an check in from Germany to Ohio at anytime! The night vision is just ok. A bit pixelated at times, depending on your data connection. It switches over several times a day depending on the weather. Again, more alert messages. The base is well magnetized, which I like. It does have a mini sd card slot, so I put a 54gb card in it to save alert messages. It lasted almost 39 days before I have to wipe it. Oh, and it does have a very loud alarm tone, but, I had to turn it off due to the numerous motion detections. Overall, I think I'll keep it. If there's ever a break in, they'll still steal my stuff, but at least I'll have identification.

Camera wont connect, the app is awful.
The app for this is completely useless. Had to reinstall twice to even get it working to register an account. Then the camera would not connect AT ALL. Followed all steps repeatedly, reset a couple times, still nothing... even when literally right next to the router. I had high hopes for this based on the reviews, but what a complete waste of time. Sending back and will try something not from China.

Cheap camera but wont last long
I got this camera just to try out and see if i liked it. Its not very flexible and the picture quality isnt great. it does pretty well with motions but what probably makes me the most upset is that it has stopped working after 9months. I guess with a cheap camera that is to be expected. The set up process is weird as well and it had a weird high pitches screams to set it up and you have to ket it play in order to sync the camera with your phone (beware if you have a pet). Also its not really intended for outside, this would probably be good for a nursery and thats it. If your going to want playback you will need a micro SD. Overall i would not buy again. I would recommend spending the extra money to find a camera system which is compatible as well as has more versatility/ flexibility with the base.
