### 4/5 — Good cams

*2026-08-12, version 1.1.45*

Good cameras they do the job

### 2/5 — Sometimes you can actually see events

*2026-04-23, version 1.1.37*

Eh it's just alright. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Like right now I can't even see my recorded events. It's also a slow build to get the camera warmed up to see what's actually going on. The charge on the camera box lasts about a day and a half. Would I buy these cameras again instead of going to with a different system? Likely not.

### 3/5 — Easy set up!

*2026-04-06, version 1.1.37*

The set up for the app was very easy. Navigating and use is equally good but the playback has some lag. Overall a great value when you consider the price!

### 2/5 — Paid features not functional

*2025-10-30, version 1.1.26*

Custom zone monitoring doesn’t work. I’ve reset it mutiple times. Still getting unnecessary notifications outside the set area.

### 2/5 — Poor app. Worse cust ser

*2025-08-18, version 1.1.23*

Could not go thru set up of 3 cams on my iphone Ipad or itouch.  Used wife’s Android.   Does not detect a car more than 25’ away.  But rain will set them off.   Pay the extra and buy Reolink or Blink.   Cust service was helpless when i emailed them.

### 4/5 — Could be perfect

*2024-10-15, version 1.1.13*

Wireless and solar powered nice not having to worry about cables.

### 5/5 — 3link camera

*2024-09-25, version 1.1.13*

The camera is very nice i like how there is a function to go back and review footage when needed.

### 5/5 — 3 link camera

*2024-09-12, version 1.1.13*

Amazon camera ! I highly recommend, great video quality, does what it supposed to do. I recommend purchasing, thank me later

### 4/5 — 3 link

*2024-09-10, version 1.1.13*

Honestly, I bought mine from someone else but The  camera works great, it has a clear lens, good quality, has survived the weather conditions with absolutely no issues. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because on the app it says it detects humans and other objects and it’s supposed to distinguish between both and it does not. Other than that, it’s a great camera worth the money.

### 4/5 — Great product for the price.

*2024-08-27*

I tried out several brands before the 3-Link TB1 camera. 3-Link definitely sits head and shoulders above the rest. 

The cameras were easier to setup with my network. 

The software quickly provides notifications and live feeds. 

The cloud service provides a free 24-hour retention period. So no commitment needed to try it out. 

And the software is easiest to navigate. 

The only thing deducting a star (otherwise it would be five stars) is needing to have a paid service for each camera rather than sharing one subscription across all devices. 

Other than that, this is the best option on the market.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Will not load

*2026-05-08, version 1.1.38*

An update was performed yesterday and now I am unable to open the current view. Every time I try to open it, the app closes on me. I am unhappy with this development. Especially since I paid for the year fee.

### 1/5 — apps not after one year using.

*2026-05-07, version 1.1.38*

My app giving notifications for moving objects but when i try to open its just shut off by itself. I am so confused and frustrated.

### 1/5 — Update problem

*2026-05-06, version 1.1.38*

Was working very good then this latest update came out every time I try to pull up cameras it shuts the app down,  yes I restarted camera yes i check for updates,  yes I rest phone

### 1/5 — Terrible app for mediocre camera

*2025-11-23, version 1.1.29*

Hate this app. When setting up a new camera, it prompts you to name it. The keyboard covers the “OK” button, so you can’t advance. Nothing will make the keyboard go away. Likewise, try to delete a camera, and you can see the delete link, but cant pull it up far enough to press.  
Added an SD card, and it wont record without paid subscription for EACH camera. Just terrible all around.

### 1/5 — mala calidad

*2025-10-05, version 1.1.25*

es mala no deja grabar más de 12 segundos y tarda mucho en cargar la imagen

### 1/5 — Very disappointed

*2025-10-03, version 1.1.25*

Keep getting data update failed failed and lose cameras. Also if you try and go to the link to see about a subscription the link also fails. Very disappointing

### 1/5 — Beware Subscription NEEDED

*2025-09-28, version 1.1.25*

Most of the reviews are about the camera itself and not the actual app. Yes, the cameras are decent. The app, however, not at all. After the 7 day “free trial” the cameras will not record anything without a PAID subscription even if there is a MicroSD inserted. Manual recordings and snapshots do not get saved to the MicroSD. They are saved in an album folder in the apps settings page. When viewing the live feed, it won’t automatically record for motion. There’s a hundred spelling/grammatical errors throughout the app and some settings have text that reads, “if you have no idea, please choose default,” rather than actually giving an explanation on the differences. Without a paid subscription, these cameras are just a cheap kids toy.

### 1/5 — Subscription service just tacked on

*2025-08-21, version 1.1.23*

How are you gonna charge a subscription fee to watch your recorded alerts from motion detection on a device that has its own built-in storage. It should be writing directly to the SD card. I could understand when it was a laps in 24 hours, but getting an alert, that motion was detected and then not being able to view it because you don’t have a subscription is asinine.

### 1/5 — 3-link camera resetting daily

*2024-10-24, version 1.1.14*

Camera resetting daily camera malfunctions on a daily basis not worth it

### 1/5 — 3link

*2024-08-20, version 1.1.12*

These cameras have great pictures of it would stay connected to the internet for over five mins. I'm not happy with this product wse

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — To what some say the cams are amazing and it never offers a seven day trial so that’s false

*2026-05-07, version 1.1.38*

I have 5 cams and not once has it put me in a trial…the user that said this is lying

### 5/5 — Camera & app

*2026-04-30, version 1.1.37*

We love the security camera & the app. We have the 360 camera and the quality is great. The subscription price is great & the customer service is great also. The app is very easy to use along with setting up the camera

### 5/5 — Great for cottage security

*2025-11-24, version 1.1.29*

I have purchased to install at my cottage mostly for période of the year that we go as often  and are able to check on the place.  This is work perfectly and provide a sens of security  of your belongings

### 5/5 — Reliable camera

*2025-08-11, version 1.1.22*

Love the reliability of the camera. Even without a cloud subscription, it can store brief moments of activity.

### 5/5 — 3link camera

*2025-07-03, version 1.1.22*

### 5/5 — Good camera

*2025-06-04, version 1.1.21*

Seems to do everything I need inexpensively.

### 5/5 — Very good for the price

*2025-01-28, version 1.1.16*

Easy set up and easy to use app. Looking forward to adding more 3-link cameras to my house.

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-12-30, version 1.1.16*

I love the camera, it’s very easy to use.. love that it records, detects motion, and that I can add other members of the house, I definitely recommend this camera for the price!

### 5/5 — Great small camera

*2024-10-25, version 1.1.14*

Love my camera. Got it on Temu and works great! Gives me alerts when someone walks by. Very sturdy. Great app.

### 5/5 — Camera

*2024-10-25*

I was honestly going to purchase another one because I like this one so much it works better than the ones I had through a different company and I love how cheap the subscription is to store all the videos and you can adjust how many notifications you get and you can set the siren to go off while you’re away so it scares whoever is around
