Ratings and reviews

The camera never really goes back to a saved viewing angle. If you have motion tracking on, it forgets where to go back to and ends up looking toward the wall. If it's raining, your phone will be blowing up all day with movement alerts from the rain. Using the app to view past events is quite annoying and hard to find what you're looking for. If you give another device/person access then the app might say you are over the device limit and just stop working. I returned the camera over this.

worked fine on my iPhone. Android not so much. when it works it does what it's supposed to and the picture is nice. The connection is sketchy. Sometimes it pops right up other times you wait and wait and wait some more. My other devices connect perfectly. I can't even watch the saved videos on the card. I guess you get what you pay for

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.
