★☆☆☆☆
SImilar problems to other cheaper cameras, don't buy this camera.
I wanted to re-write the review to be clear.
Cons:
-No IR light on/off function, so you can't have it indoors looking outside.
-Wifi connection wouldn't take the first dozen times of doing it right.
-PC software difficult to find unless you know exactly where to go, which they don't tell you.
-Your camera can be accessed by the SV3C company and in turn, your wifi network.
-Trying to pan left/right/up/down is nearly impossible as the camera only moves one way: too much every time.
-The picture quality is not as great as advertised, its just regular 1080 HD at best.
-The camera video settings don't seem to make any difference in the picture or streaming quality.
-It only comes in white.
Pros:
-It's heavy and could make a good weapon to beat someone over the head with.
As of this point I have bought over a dozen different security cameras over the years, haven't yet found the 'perfect' one, but this camera is a waste of money. A Yi Home 360 dome 1080p camera has all the same features with a lot less hassle, which I'm using currently. It's sad I spend twice as much on this football of a camera and it doesn't have any impressive qualities, just the same problems and annoyances. I'm sending this back and I highly recommend not buying this camera despite the inexperienced peoples' positive reviews.
