An Honest Review From a Technology Snob
Oh so many negative reviews about this cam on here. I must say that I am a harsh critic and I *totally* disagree. Why?
1) Easy-peasy set-up. No drama like there is with other cams. A simple app, know your wi-fi passcode, and volia! You are connected.
2) Fast-load real-time imagery. I tried several other camera and they all had delays (Belkin was the worst). AWESOME response time. MINIMAL delay. (I use an iPhone 8 and Verizon Fios for home network.)
3) CRISP, high-quality, high-res video. FULL COLOR. Leaves the others in the dust.
4) Spot-on PERFECT IR that work in ALL lighting conditions (obviously - no natural light means 100% IR - and this means only black & white). SOLID images that are show even the smallest details.
5) Great sound pick-up. You can hear EVERYTHING. Even a whisper.
6) Includes a wall-mount! Thank you, Amazon. The product itself reminds me of the detailed-design-thinking that was there when Jobs was still alive!
7) You can use this WITHOUT the monthly service IF you don't want to save too many days of previous footage. I just want to keep a same-day archive and it costs nothing! Zero. Zilch. I was paying Belkin $10/month for the same service and it was horrible (and the app crashed constantly).
8) AWESOME notifications. Very few false notifications. Every other camera I tried had 25%-75% false notifications. This device is spot-on. I am guessing that it only has about 5% false notifications due to wind other movement (and I have sensitivity set to maximum). It has never failed to notify when a warm-blooded creature enters its viewing field.
So to all the naysayers, I have to respond with "huh?"
All I see is simplicity, utility, economy and ease-of-use.
