Good camera, hard to connect to download videos.
Camera is good and has great video quality, easy to install and set up. The only issue is connecting to the camera through the app to download videos takes a while, scanning the QR code to connect to the camera doesn't always work on the first try. It does eventually work, though, so other than that issue it's a good camera.

She loved them thanks. Neck problems make it hard for her to turn her head so the back up cam is perfect.
