Great for what we need!
I am thoroughly impressed with this camera! Got it on Prime Day. Well worth it and would recommend! We are using it as a security measure for our pool. Pros: EASY setup! So simple, easy to understand directions. Great features on the app. Easy to use, and free! (I am using an SD card, so did not purchase the cloud storage) Picture quality is awesome! Features work great, microphone and sound are good, and again, so easy to use on the app! See video and still shots included! Motion sensor works fantastic. Easy to change sensitivity, works when supposed to. (We did NOT purchase the subscription so I can not review the additional motion sensor features like person/vehicle, or zones) So far battery is awesome! I charged it overnight the first day, and have not since. Been 2 weeks and still at 88%, even with all the motion detection. I will update if needed, but so far battery is great! Charging is easy too, as I just take it off the mount and bring it in. Cons: Not really a con, but something to note-If the camera is in rain and not protected, color night vision won't work because of reflection of rain drops on lens. However regular night vision will work. Easy fix is make sure camera is under some type of cover like an awning or eave. Ours is on a fence post and has no cover above it. Only recording options are up to 20 sec, NOT continuous recording. This works for us as we are using it as a warning system for our pool. But it won't work as a dedicated security camera. When the motion sensor is tripped, it records for 20 sec, but then there is a delay sometimes between the next recording, even if there is still motion. Overall, we are completely thrilled with our purchase and will be adding another camera soon. It works perfect for what we need, but again, we don't need continuous recording and are happy with the 20 sec videos. So fun to watch my husband clean the pool or the bunnies play in the yard! I have included some sample videos and pictures. I will update with night videos when I can. UPDATE: 18 months later and camera had a small issue. I reached out to seller, received a quick reply, and they offered to ship a brand new unit immediately! Really impressed with customer service! Especially since they didn't have to fix the issue as it was not under any type of warranty. Definitely recommend!
