    It was difficult for me to install, and I cannot get it to connect to my wifi, so now I have to remove it and try to mount it somewhere else. I will also have to purchase the solar panel for it because I do not have power outlet close to where I can move it. Frustrating.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
