I purchased this camera to see if your brand compares to the ring camera, but no matter how I set the camera in the settings. It would not pick up people walking by my house. It picked up cars driving by, but not people even though I had the people setting checked. .
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have and your outdoor wired product. And it works very well, but what if it had a spotlight like the battery one? First, it would be a big seller. Second you will not get bad reviews for battery life.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Thomas. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and review of the myQ Smart Battery Camera. We appreciate the opportunity to provide some additional information about its features and performance. The myQ Smart Battery Camera does include a built-in spotlight designed to help deter nighttime intruders. The spotlight automatically activates when motion is detected, providing enhanced visibility in low-light conditions. You can also adjust the brightness level or turn the spotlight off entirely through the myQ app if you'd like to help conserve battery life. Regarding battery performance, under typical usage conditions, the camera's battery is designed to last approximately 4 to 6 months on a full charge. Actual battery life may vary depending on factors such as motion activity, recording frequency, Wi-Fi signal strength, and environmental conditions, including extreme temperatures. To help maximize battery life, we recommend setting customized detection zones, reducing motion sensitivity when appropriate, and ensuring the camera has a strong Wi-Fi connection. For added convenience, we also offer the myQ Solar Panel (model MYQCS4VXXW), which is designed to help keep your camera charged. For optimal performance, we recommend installing the solar panel in a location that receives at least 2 hours of direct sunlight each day. It is weather-resistant, suitable for year-round outdoor use, and operates in temperatures ranging from -4°F to 122°F. The solar panel also features a 360° rotating and 180° tilting mount, along with a 6.5-foot cable, making it easy to position for the best sunlight exposure, even when the ideal location is some distance from the camera. You can learn more about the solar panel here: https://www.myq.com/myq-solar-panel/p/MYQCS4VXXW We hope this information helps clarify these features. If you have any additional questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Support team at 1-800-528-9131, Monday through Friday, 5:00 AM to 6:00 PM MST. We're always happy to help. Thank you again for your interest in myQ products, and we appreciate your feedback.
