  • Great camera

    I only had it a day super easy installing it and setting it up to WiFi but I think I put it too high on a pole because it’s not triggering any movement so I might move it down I’m definitely buying atleast one more then it will cover about 90% of my property
  • Easy and intuitive app

    Really easy to install and very simple to navigate the menus. An absolute breeze to keep track of my porch when away from home - all at the quick tap of my phone screen. Love it.
  • Awesome Camera

    I’ve had my camera for at least almost a year. I haven’t had any issues as of yet. I purchased the solar charger and always have a connection. The weather has not had any effect on performance. I will most certainly recommend this product to all my friends and family.
  • Pretty easy to set up

    First security camera for me- easy to set up and view. Seems good value. Image quality is very good, and you can screen capture or download from a cloud capture and zoom in to see face detail, etc. App could be improved by indicating which camera (I have 3) has generated the particular notice of action. Need better explanation for how the cloud capture works and what it costs. The mounting bracket does not hold in every position because it doesn’t lock on the ball joint and the magnetic mount can’t be used if you need to point the camera down to much, so you have to really think about where you put it. And the little screw comes all the way out - very fiddly to put in and too easy to drop.

  • PIR function very impressive

    Doing exactly what I needed it to do! Quality at night is ok, but unlikely my PTZ camera - that has better quality at night - is activated only by people or large animals. Happy so far!
  • Questionable security

    I loved these cameras until I wanted to sign up for the cloud service. I have two of them to keep an eye on my dog inside the home.
    After signing up for a seasonal cloud subscription for one of the cameras, they took my money but it failed to work.

    I contacted support via email and messenger. The response came through messenger, where they asked me for my account login details and password!
    This was pretty horrifying, while I didn’t give them my password of course, I am now quite concerned about the security of these devices.

    Noticing that they haven’t had an update in months and don’t currently comply with the app store’s requirements either, I’m rather...concerned.

    Update: both the CS and messenger has now asked me for my password, while the CS email response noted the need for motion detection to be turned on, and the cloud now appears to be working.

    I have increased my rating by one star as the cloud is working, but I am concerned about security and hope they can update accordingly.

  • Fantastic

    Great product. Relies on a good WiFi signal, (which we don’t have !), but even at 68% it works really well. We would definitely recommend this product to everyone
  • As simple to use as you would expect.

    The doorbell was really easy to install. You can either use the adhesive stops provided or drill holes to screw into place (screws provided). Linking to the app is clearly explained in the instructions and from there the app is logically laid out and works as you would expect. It records video to any micro SD card you install in the doorbell (not supplied) and the clips are easy to review, share and delete in the app.

  • Camera that works, play off cards and/or cloud.

    Bought one camera for our pool area to make sure it was safe at night. Night vision is very good. If any changes happened we would get an alarm.
    We recently moved from city to country and now need even more coverage. Bought 3 more wireless wifi cameras and 1 doorbell camera.

    PROs:
    -My year old camera is as good as my new ones.
    -All my cameras can be seen on one smartphone screen. (iPhone)
    -choice of SD or HD
    -choice of audio on or off
    -talkback works.
    -sees movement (day and night) from 70 feet away easily. Even a cat 35 feet away will trip it.
    -rechargeable batteries last months between charges. Alarm goes off when it gets below 10%.
    -micro cards easily accessible via weather proof enclosure. Never had a problem.
    -easy to review videos from either card or optional cloud server (extra cost) viewing from cards are at no cost.

    CONs:
    -cameras start recording almost :05 seconds after intruder enters the view of the camera. Great for back shots. This happens on all the cameras models.
    -lacks control to eliminate portions of visual area. (Flag waving, known area of movement)
    -cameras are locked positions, no pan or tilt.
