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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is perfect for our needs at home on the front area of the house!! We use it in addition to anoter few we have out back and sides of our house. The setup was super fast and simple, and the app is so user friendly!! The image i am attaching is the camera at nigjt so you can see how clear it looks where ots placed. We live in a rural area so keep in minds its VERY dark ouside because we dont have the normal streetlights or city lights around. Im so happy with this. You can place it just about anywhere u get a wifi sognal and its rechargeable ( long lasting battery as well). You can hear sounds very clear and also can speak from your app and that also os crystal clear. I definitely recommend this camera!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Yes it works and it even comes with its own rechargeable battery. It comes with everything you need to set it up and get it going. It comes with its own charging cord and magnetic mount. It works but i have to have it kind of close to the house so it works properly. I can things clearly from my phone thru the app. You will have to download an app to your phone or computer to be able to use this outdoor camera.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So easy to set up!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, I loved this needed no wiring! Has such easy installation instructions and some excellent features! The best is that this has night vision! The unit itself is small & easy to handle & it comes with everything you need to install & use, just need an SD card! Once charged just install the bracket and slide the camera into it! You can remove easily to recharge as needed! It works on wifi & with the Cync app. Love the added security with mobile alerts, motion detection & night vision!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect to use outdoors

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that I can put this outdoors and not worry about it. I've got it aimed on the back deck area. My elderly mother lives with us and sometimes she leaves the dogs outside and forgets them. This helps me to monitor the situation. With multiple storage options it makes it easy to store the videos. I like that I can control it with my voice. Best part, I installed it and didn't need any help. It was easy to the software on my phone.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Peace of Mind

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We wanted to add an outdoor security camera to our home just for extra piece of mind, but we don't have a good power source to the location we wanted to mount it. Plus we rent so it's not like we could add in some expensive electrical wiring to make it happen. This battery powered outdoor security camera solved the problem. Got it all set up and can see in real time on my phone. Keep in mind if you have metered internet, this does use quite a bit of data. The night vision is not incognito like a trail camera but the hope is that any intruder would notice they're on camera and get scared off before doing anything stupid.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Horrible, don't buy. Useless.

Horrible, I bought 2 battery ones thinking the 50% sale of deal was a great discount but little did I know that they always have this "sale". The tell should have been when I couldn't find 1 youtube review on these. I charged and connected, these are so spotty, even when it is near the wifi, it still doesn't catch most motions, even when set on high. It also, has no way to turn off, if I don't want them to record during the day or if I wanted to store them, you have to pull out the battery. Even more stupid is the schedule, I want to only record at night but it won't let you set a schedule from night to following day, it reads as error. you can only set a schedule for morning to night in same day. I don't need these to record during the day, I wanted to record at night when I am sleeping so these are not only junk and poorly made, poor connectivity, poor interface, these also don't do the one job even decently that they are suppose to do which is record.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
