decent quantity but a little buggy. camera disconnects often, creating hours of downtime unmonitored and no Livestream available. Even when it's connected, recording often cuts off as the subject enters frame, missing the important bits... after recording nothing for 25 seconds. App claims that with paid sub you can extend recording time from 30 to 60 seconds but I paid and I don't have that option in the app. Customer service reply-email doesn't work, undeliverable. Badly made help forms.

Not good, not bad. App fails to record most things, motion or sound. Had it for about a year now and I'm done with its bull. Yes, I turned the sensitivity up and drew the detection boxes, yet still it fails to record most motion and sounds. You're better off getting something a little more expensive, as you get what you pay for. Kangaroo is probably one of the lowest tiers of security camera available. Keep that in mind if you're considering buying one.

Didn't work. It wouldn't connect with the device. Upon reloading it, it would not send a verification code. After chatting with tech support, reloaded it the next day, same problem. Chatted with them again and they said to delete the app and wait again. The next day (today) it won't load onto my phone at all. Still waiting for an email from tech support.
