Detection zone doesn't work. Always detects movement way outside the detection zone selected. Sharp focus on nearby objects. Blurry focus on far objects.
I give a 5 for ease of installation and setup. The video quality and field of view is also a 5. However the sensitivity to movement and adjustments to eliminate movements outside the selected zones, is poor. I selected zones specific to my driveway only and yet every time a vehicle passes by, I get a notice. Bugs at night will also trigger a video capture. I have the sunrise/sunset ambient light turned on but the time is off by 1 hour. I have set my home location proper so I can’t figure out why it seems to be on a different time zone. I had to offset the timing by 1 hour to align with the proper sunset and sunrise timing. It seems that there is work to be done on sensitivity and software refinement to make this a better product.
Light is strong, clear image, but anything farther than 40 feet looks distorted and zooming in looks horrible. That 2k quality goes out the window beyond the 30-40 feet. I have to move the camera and aim it to the street just to get a better image, but at the cost of losing the view of the driveway. Not a good sacrifice. At night even with the ambient light on, the night vision in color is not good, very dark and again because the center of the camera is the driveway, the street has bad visibility. I would have to move the camera up and get the street in the middle of the screen to get a clearer image and of couse at the sacrifice of the driveway getting cut off. What's the point of having a 180 degree view if the quality of 2k drops to 480p in the outer parts of the image? Only perk is that i can at least see that something happen, lol but the color night vision goes out the window, or during the day the quality of the image when zoomed gets very distorted.
Doesn't live stream or play back videos I only get thumbnails. Light works well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
