Good camera, does a pretty good job

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall it’s a good camera. It seems a less premium compared to others, such as Nest. The camera is very lightweight and mostly plastic. App that this pairs with is easy to use. I have it set up in my backyard and it has good visibility of the space. You can also take pictures or video through the app to keep record.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Horrible- don’t waste your money.

I purchased this camera last week and it’s not living up to its full potential. The app is slow and the video rarely loads. It sends me a notification that there’s motion but it doesn’t record the video. I purchased space on the Cloud but obviously it was a waste of money. I checked my wifi and it’s strongish (85%) where it’s located. Tried to reach out for assistance with no support.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good camera for peace of mind

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I set up the Cync Outdoor Wired Smart Camera to monitor a second home that sits empty a lot of the time. I like that this camera does not require a separate hub and can operate by itself, but has the option to add additional cameras if I need to. I have it set up to get alerts on my phone when there is motion detected. I can even talk though the app if needed. I use it most to monitor for package deliveries and suspicious activity, so that I can alert someone local to check it out. The set up was easy but it is dependent on there being a plug. The cord is long, but for aesthetic purposes I like to have a plug close by. The video quality, sound, and app are good enough for my purposes. Note that video storage does require a cloud subscription or purchasing a video card. Overall I am happy with the peace of mind that the Cync offers me.

Good Outdoor Solution

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product is what you would expect, a decent picture for an outside camera. Setup is fairly easy and integrates easily with Alexa. I knew getting it that it is wired, so there are limitations of where you can place the item, however you do not have to worry about replacing batteries. Overall a decent outdoor camera.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The concept is always great to be able to secure your home, however this products programming did not work. I have tried several time to get it to connect and it just doesn’t work. It would have a great camera for my outside shed
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It’s pretty okay

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The outdoor camera is decent, not elite. I thought the setup was straightforward and simple.b I don’t like having to plug it into an outlet but that’s a personal thing. Having to plug it in isn’t great so take that into consideration when purchasing. The mic wasn’t elite. There was a delay and the fidelity wasn’t that good. Also, the app was NOT good. It constantly froze on me and left me waiting for it to fix itself. Could be a big that requires an update but I’m just giving honest feedback. I would probably look at other options if I were you.

Super smart camera

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Cync outdoor wired smart camera is so great! It gives me and my family a sense of security and extra privacy. It was easy to install and synced so easily with Alexa.
It stores videos and saves them in my cloud so I can look anything over that I want. I love that I can use Alexa and voice control to manage this device; makes it so much easier. It’s amazing that I get alerts when packages are delivered! It’s a game changer.
It has advanced motion detection that works really well. This camera allows me to customize my specific motion zones so that I can receive notifications that are most useful to me.
All in all, I am super happy with this outdoor camera. It works really well, stores videos in my cloud and syncs easily with Alexa. It has specific tools to tailor the monitoring to what you want the most, which I really appreciate. I highly recommend it!!!
