Peace of mind for low cost
By Drayface15 (Pcmac user)
I’m glad I have these. They have really Lear picture quality and are so easy to set up. The night vision is even really good. I like that I don’t have batteries to replace or recharge. The app has a good amount of setting features so you can customize the sensitivity, the microphone and speaker functions, set up times for the motion alerts to be on/off, etc. It also allows me to share my cameras so that other family members can view live footage and get alerts if you give permission.
I wish the motion alerts were longer than 6 seconds. The motion alerts definitely work great (and sometimes are too sensitive, but that’s adjustable) as they pick up headlights in the street that shine in my front window, my pets entering a room, a squirrel on my deck, etc. We recently added micro SD cards to our cameras and that allows us to go back and review a timeframe where I want to see more than a 6 second clip.
I have one camera facing out a window and it works great during the day. However, at night, the glare from inside decreases picture clarity significantly and makes the motion alerts sorta pointless since it detects all the movement inside the room instead of outside in the yard. It might be better to buy an outdoor camera if that’s what you plan to use it for.

Thank you
By Nurse in Ak (Pcmac user)
My mother was terminally ill. I would worry so much while I was at work not knowing if she was safe or needed help. Also, most of her children and grandchildren lived in Alaska and, even though they visited as much as they could, there was no way to know when she would pass. We are very close and my mom was very much loved by all. When my friend at work heard of my situation she told my of your product. I received it super fast, was surprised I got 2 cameras, was blown away by the ease of setup and my nights away from home were no longer stressful. Then I realized I could share the link to the camera with the family in Alaska and suddenly we were connected. That in itself was so incredible but your company did not charge my family. We had 9 shared links which allowed over 20 people be involved in our mom’s daily life and even share in her last moments including her last breath. Your product and company is so wonderful and we will continue to spread the word of you! Thank you from all of us!

Love the features so far
By tHe sR5 (Pcmac user)
So I don't do reviews... But over all I'm please with the quality of the camera and the night feature is great! And as far as the app for what I think it's main intention was for its great, I like how you can tap to make the camera center somewhere, the overall video quality us good most of the time. The sound is a bunch ehh... Needs a little work there.. Seems the sound like a to cut in and out a lot and especially if you exit the app and come back. Its sometimes unrecoverable without force closing and starting over. Not horrible but is a definite bug. The sound also cracks and fades out like a battery dying in a speaker when this happens. I'd like to ask a request and see if this could be possible. Would you be able to make the sound run in the background like other apps do for music. This would make this app even more amazing as I'm trying to open use the camera as a baby monitor. And always have my phone on me. It would be really great and very very useful! Thanks in advance! Liking the hardware so far! Definitely see potential in the app!!

Exceptional Camera for the Price
By Bmwdi (Pcmac user)
The learning curve takes awhile but once getting past that the camera does a wonderful job. I use mine for monitoring the Gulf of Mexico channel and to capture sunsets. I use it indoors through glass windows and it still does a great job. If the infrared lights are turned off it even picks up the boats at night in the channel. The 360 is a great feature allowing you to bookmark particular spots you want to focus on, however I wish there were a way to limit the turn to 90 degrees. Being that mine is inside I don’t like that it occasionally spots me in the room and records me, even though it is doing what it is designed to do. Sound is not great, but for my use that is t a problem. I love that I can remotely check live or clips by iPhone and that I can send clips direct to Twitter, Facebook and other apps. The clarity is remarkable and the colors very bright and vivid. My next purchase will be the outdoor model if this one holds up well.
