AmpedLRC200 Wireless Apollo PRO, Long Range HD Wi-Fi Camera, Black

Bought this camera and could not get it set up for the life of me. Called the company's tech support, who doesn't actually pick up the phone, you have to leave a voicemail and they may or may not call you back. Called 4 or 5 times before I actually got ahold of someone. Tech support guy walked me through the setup (the same exact setup as what the app walks you through, so phone call was pointless). Camera would not connect despite having an 86% reach with my network. Tech support guy decided that the camera must be defective and i should exchange it for another, which I did. New one comes in the mail and still does not connect.Update: I finally got it working for a few uses. But on my last time trying to use it, it wouldnt connect at all and it never will. The app for this camera hasnt been updated since 2016 so it cant be used with my phone or network.

I had been searching for a WiFi camera that would get a signal in my pony barn, about 150 feet from my house, but nothing worked, even with a range extender. I decided to give this reasonably priced camera a try, and I’m thrilled to say it works well, and I can now see my two tiny horses anytime I want to check on them. Easy setup. Highly recommend. The day after this review the camera is dead. We had a thunderstorm last night and even though it was on a surge protector, it won ‘t turn on after we lost power. My Nest cams had no issues in the storm. I may buy this again, but it must be unplugged if you expect an electrical storm.

It works, just wish we didnt need a router to use it. If my phone has wifi and this device has wifi (and you connect the two together for setup), why are you forced to use another wifi network. Should have the option only not the requirement. Very pixelated but works up close. Simple enough for the price though amd i use on my newly purchased galaxy s9 plus.

I could never get the software to connect on my phone. The software is terrible! I did contact tech-support and the guy couldn’t help me. It should be simple to add the camera to the app on my phone and I tried about 15 times with no luck. The tech-support guy had no clue what to do. He told me just to go ahead and return it. he didn’t give me any confidence in their product during our conversation. I have a number of ring cameras and just wanted something cheap with long range to put in my chicken coop. I wouldn’t waste my money on this one because the software stinks!!!

signal still wouldnt reach out to my barn about 60-70 feet outside my house.

The camera failed to connect to the WiFi networks. It’s a beautiful camera to use as a fake camera to scare thieves.

Don't buy this Product, it never worked, not connecting to Phone, even though the Camera gets connected to WIFI network.Waste of time, I just returned !!

WOW, where do I start. RUN AWAY from this POS. To start, it has NO instructions on how to mount the unit. bunch of goofy pieces with no labeling or even a parts description in the crappy instructions.took over 1 hour to get it to work after several frustrating issues with just setting up the appollo app account. I am not a computer expert but also pretty good with tech stuff and live on the computer.after about 75 minutes of retrying over and over again to get it connected and working, moved the camera to another room and now it will not connect at all after another 40 minutes of trying everything.EVEN if I can get it to work, note that this does not have any panning capabilities with limits is usefullnes and it does not have the capability to detect motion etc and automatically records to a local device unless you pay for their cloud service.when I had the camera working for a few minutes I noticed the picture was very grainy and I was in a well lit room. not sure how they say its HD.to summarize, a nightmare to set up, then stopped working. very limited features and have to pay if you want to record anything while you are away.I have seen $50 cameras that can do more. literally in the trash this goes. I wish I can get the almost 2 hours of my life back form all the frustration this thing has caused. thank God I did not pay for it as it was via the VINE program.This is not an almost $200 camera even if it worked. The camera is only 15 feet from my wireless network and I never had any problems ever with anything else wireless in the past except for this thing. also noticed when i did have it working for a few minutes that it was in black and white, then went to color and then back to black and white.eventually got this to work but really not that great of a camera.
