Ratings and reviews

I don't recommend it if you are actually using it for security. The notifications I get are delayed sometimes as much as 3-5 minutes or more. So, for security, it's maybe too little, too late. I tried all the suggested so-called fixes, updates, etc, and nothing changed. If a person stands there long enough it catches up and then shows real time, but, again, that wouldn't help if it were a security matter. All my other equipment working through the WiFi; seems to work fine.

All working good so far. Do wish it had a Light you could turn on thru the app like one of my other security cameras. Remember it needs a minimum 8 GB Mini SD card, I tried a lesser GB did NOT work Took a couple of times of setting up the "Saved " preprogrammed camera positions, 8 of those, before they stuck in the selected positions. Zoom with fingers works good. Connectivity to WiFi worked smoothly, needs WiFi that does both 2 4 GHz and regular 5 GHZ. Long cord to plug in Electric

I love the app. it has a lot of features that I like, and isn't difficult to use once you learn to use it. I can set a range with the camera's view (a subsection within the view) for the motion detector to set off an alarm, so I use it as a bed alarm for my elderly father. For example, I can basically have the alarm go off if there is motion beyond 1 or more inches from, or before the beds end. With God's help through Messiah, it can help me run to him if he tries to get up.
