Nice but clear your schedule to get it to work

If you buy this, save yourself some time. I could not get the mobile app to work so I signed onto the website (box instructions say to do mobile app- Ignore). Use Firefox or Explorer on your computer. It does not work on Chrome or the like. If you do this, you should not have to call customer service. Set-up is easy IF you are on the right browser. Once you have everything working on your computer, you can do the mobile App. For me it is easier to set things up on my laptop.
1st camera and after I got it working, I like it. Bought it to catch a animal.
Further help:
!. take item out of box, connect Ethernet line to wireless internet.
2. plug in the power cord
3. go to mydlink.com and click on Not Registered to create an account
4. go through the steps and you should be all good. If you get a black screen on your view - see browser suggestion above.
Once you register, you can unplug the Ethernet cord and just have the power cord. It walks you through all the steps. Yes, it does not have a battery and has to have a power source.

Camera has great quality and its pretty cheap. If you just want to be able to check on your house, this is a good buy. If you want time stamps and extras, this is not the one for you. Hope this helps make up your mind!
Oh, one more note. Mine was a return so if you are not sure if your camera is new, just get a pin out (earrings are perfect) and reset the factory settings. There is a small hole on the back of the unit. Hold for at least 10 seconds. This wipes out everything. Good luck!

IF you have to call customer service, have your camera handy. They want all the numbers off the unit.

Update
December 17, 2015
Ended up taking camera back. You can not back up and watch. Only has a live feed setting which unless you want to stare at your phone all day, is useless. There is no option for cloud storage and no slot for a card.
