Awesome, easy to set up! Update added.
I just got this today and I had to run and leave feedback because I am so impressed with this camera. The camera was very simple to set up, literally 3-5 minutes. It took less than 30 minutes to set up, find the perfect spot for it (which took the most time), install the app on two phones and learn the app interface. The app works great both over 3G and wifi. It has capability for two-way audio, day/night/auto settings, recording (which requires SD card), and taking a still picture and sending it. I had such a difficult time choosing a camera and I'm glad I got this one. I basically want it to look in on my pets while I'm away and this is going to be perfect. The picture is really clear, I will try to upload a photo. It hasn't gotten dark yet so I haven't tried the IR. I will update after I spend a little more time with it, but I can definitely recommend it after just 3 hours!
Update 9/9/14: I still love this camera but I learned that it uses a LOT of data. I set it up on 8/21/14 and ran it continuously through the end of the month. I love being able to look at my pets while I'm away and the camera works so well. Then I called my internet company to see how much data I have with my plan and how much I was using. The previous months I averaged about 30 GB of data, but in August it jumped to 183 GB. So 10 days of camera use equaled about 150 GB of data. My limit is 250 GB per month which I understand is about average. So the lesson I learned is that first of all, I'm not going to purchase additional cameras. Now I use the camera just when I need it and the rest of the time I unplug it. It is still perfect for my needs because I move it from room to room as needed and I'm not needing 24 hour surveillance.
The infrared works great, it lights everything up like high noon. Very easy to control using iPhone app. I have noticed that the day is off by one and the 24 military time clock is 12 hours off. I'm not sure how to fix that but it's not really important to me.
