Totally cool! Set up was easy and it has more features than I thought. Motion detection sound detection and the live feed to my phone has only a slight lag Thumbs up!

Great design! Ready to use! Powerfull wifi and speed!

I got a pair of the Arlo wireless (battery powered) cameras for Christmas, and tested them. Worked ok but decided cost of battery replacement and lack of local video storage were not what I wanted. Returned easily for store credit and bought one of these D-Link HD wifi cameras to test. I've had it installed for about a week and so far so good. I was able to install a microSD card I already had on hand. Setup was pretty easy, although I had to reset and redo once since I didn't follow their directions exactly. I am relatively tech and networking saavy, having been in IT for 30 years, and I could see that novices might likely need to get customer support to assist with setup. But, for the cost (half as much for two as for two of the Arlo's), and the flexibility in advanced setup, these will work for me. The video quality in light and infrared is very good at the distance I have my test unit at the inside of my front door. And, the area motion sensor setting to set off recording works very well. I'm able to access the recordings via my iPhone or laptop. I haven't configured it yet, but I can set it to send still clips of triggered events via email. I'll probably purchase at least one more of these to monitor our back door as well. Caveats: 1) will take some patience to configure, and customer support is likely needed for non-techies. I have had good luck with other D-link products. 2) comes with AC adapter and a short 5' power cord, so will need an extension most likely and some way to hide cords. 3) will need a microSD card to store video locally, but can be adapted to record to network storage or a D-link NVR I believe. 4) will need reliable home wifi network.

Bought this to monitor the parking lot of my apartment complex from the second floor balcony and it works fantastic! A nice wide view angle, sharp picture, 3 way positioning, very decent night vision, and an app to see live view or recordings on the sd card from your phone! What more could you ask for? This was my first security camera purchase and I'm more than happy with it. For the price it does more than I expected. Not really an outside camera but not, not an outside camera lol I wouldn't mount it where it would be prone to elements but it's done well through indirect rain and sun. I could see the motion detection notifications becoming annoying but if you're like me and you feel you need a security camera in the first place, well, it's manageable. I started using the record on motion detection, but lets be honest; technology fails at times. So while motion detection worked pretty much as expected I went ahead and set it to record full time just for good measure. Between the app, D Link website, and the IP interface for the camera itself, it's not shy on features or controls. Highly recommend this to anyone just needing an extra eye on things at home. Idk why everyone has had so much trouble setting it up tho. Always check YouTube for reviews and explanations. A 1hr review helped me get set up and solid in 1hr and that's awesome. The photo included is what to expect with night vision. You don't need a "Serurity System" anymore, just a couple security cameras at best. Side Note: If you plan on having more than 3 you might consider getting a wifi router just for this. The bandwidth is intra, not inter, and you would be able to access them through the IP address and see the live view just as easily and it'll make less of an impact on your usable internet.
