Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My best friend bought the original version of this camera and was amazed at the easy of setup, ease of use, features - software and hardware, and quality of the video. And now I can see why. This really is a game changer in terms of security cameras. The value is mind boggling, and I have to admit, was a source of concern before I bought these cameras. I like to feel I understand the business model of a company from which I'm buying a product, especially one I hook into my personal network. This feels like I'm buying an iPhone for $50. In fact, I have to say that I felt like I had bought an apple product when I was unwrapping the cameras. They come beautifully packaged, and the workmanship and operation is just apple gorgeous, and apple smooth. However, while I my first three set up flawlessly, the last three I just bought were problematic. The setup was smooth, like before, but at the end it has you update to the latest and greatest firmware. Last time that worked fine. This time it did not. The first camera gave me a failure message. So deleted the camera from the app and ran it again. It once again setup easily, but this time it had the latest firmware. So apparently the update worked, but something went wrong with the reboot at the end. All 3 did the same thing. However, that said, all 3 have been working well for 8 months now, with 2 or 3 firmware updates that have been flawless. The firmware and app have both added cool new features.
