LOVE THIS CAMERA!
By TEPPJM on Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2023
I would give this camera more stars if I could!! My mother purchased this camera for me because I live by myself and my neighbors were harassing the CRAP out of me! I had it plugged in on my front porch and the neighbors put my landlord up to going up on my porch and taking it, my landlord told me he destroyed it because "he didn't want a security camera on his property". To make a long story short he lied and gave it to my neighbors. These were people at one time I thought were good and fairly intelligent........they soon learned that just because its not plugged in doesnt mean its not working. About 3-4 days after it was taken I got a notification and the camera was showing me live feed of my neighbors with my camera in their garage with their young children bragging about taking my camera, taking pics of my camera, at one point they even said "its even wireless" which should have clued them in that ITS WORKING and if that didn't do it then the little red flashing light should have!. Their home was about 100 yards from my home and the camera was still using my wifi, it still had a almost full battery and had been unplugged for about 4 days. I went to the deputy sheriffs office and the officer asked how I knew they had my camera and I showed him the live feed, he grinned and said "come on WE gotta ride up there" and of course they lied and denied having the camera then the officer dropped the bomb on them and told them "yes you do! It was about 6 minutes ago I watched you and her waving into it, laughing having a good time because you thought you gotta away with something, now this is gonna go only one way either I go get it or you go get it but one way or other that camera is coming out of there right now!" My neighbor went and got it and handed it to the officer. LMAO!! Talk about your hometown dumb crook news!! So anyone can see why I sing this cameras praises!! Great picture, sound is very clear and audible, the motion detection is dead on, the wifi reception picks up from a very long distance, the battery lasts for a very long time without recharging, of course I was not continuously recording just with motion! The price was unbeatable, even though my neighbor said "its one of those high dollar cameras", it was not and an actual expensive camera could not be better than this little camera. My son seen it and he bought one and he loves his too!!

Not as good when there's snow on the ground
By R.J. MacReady on Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2025
***Additional Update*** Like everything else in our world this company is now charging a subscription fee to view any recorded videos. These cameras that I put around my house now want a monthly payment of $4.49 or an annual payment of $47.49 to view 10 second video clips that they occasionally record. They never mentioned anything about a subscription when I bought them, this is just something that they decided to do recently. ***Update*** These cameras suck and are designed to fail after a certain amount of time. That's my conclusion since the 4 we ordered at the same time have all stopped notifying us of anything happening on them. I've randomly gotten on the cameras multiple times throughout the night after hearing noises/ getting a feeling and seen multiple cats/raccoons/opossums/deer hanging out on our porch together but no notifications from the camera that anything is happening outside. But during the day I'll get HUNDREDS of notifications that shadows are being cast on the porch from trees all afternoon. It's so annoying, I hate it. Do not buy this camera, it will stop working properly after a year. ***Original Review*** I bought 5 of these when they were on sale to put around my house. They're pretty good, but you can only view them through your phone. There's no website/desktop app for you to look at them on your computer. I went to their website and saw someone asked if they were going to make it possible to view them on a computer a few years ago and they said they weren't at the time, so I emailed them and asked them if they had changed their mind and they said no and that they didn't have any plans to do so. Recently they haven't been activating and recording at night. We've got snow on the ground and I can see cat tracks through the snow but I haven't gotten any recordings to show me the cat(s) that are hanging around my house at night. So that's a little disappointing, but my wife thinks it could be because the cat is white and blends in with the snow. I have no idea though, I just know there's tracks right in front of the camera in the morning and we have no recordings.
