We bought 2 HD DropCam's to monitor our dogs while we are out of the house. They were easy to set-up , and the wireless connected immediately. The picture is so clear, even when viewing at night. The microphone feature has come in handy to speak to our dogs. We also set them up to run every night as security cameras. My wife and I love these!

Dropcam was very easy to set up, downloaded the app and it was ready to go. Very awesome quality during the nights too, able to see room very clearly. No issues with setup and watching. Would not hesitate recommending to friends and family. Very happy to have made the purchase. Price was also very reasonable.

I bought 3 of these at Christmas Black Friday sale. Hooked them up in no time and positioned them around my house. They work great, video is clear. I signed up for the 10 day recording feature for the cameras and I love it.
The new Nest software is a bit wonky at the moment now that everything is switching over to Nest services. I'm sure it'll work itself out in the next months coming up.
I did get the 720p versions. I plan on getting the Pro versions next to get higher resolution and a wider angle. I do wish there was an option to record them locally on a computer or NAS server along with the online recording. But it's not a deal breaker. Works great with my iPhone and iPad. The alerts for motion zones is a great feature. I do wish you could have block out zones wear it didn't even register movement. But the online filters work great when sorting thought the 10 day recording log to see what events happened.
Love it! Buy it! It is an awesome product!

great indoor camera, but not for your porch

the camera is easy to set up and install, and the video goes to the cloud and is available to you from any location where internet is available. the video is of decent video quality. the camera supports both-way audio. a perfect solution for indoor monitoring. you may want to place it closer to your outlet to avoid long wires.
my intention was to use the camera at my porch (to serve as a peephole), which i am not fully satisfied with yet. the problem is that it is not recommended for outdoor use due to possible severe temperatures or/and humidity. so i set it up on the window conveniently located by the entrance door. the problem is that the window glass reflects light that ruins the picture. the light may come from the camera itself during the night-vision mode or, if you turned this mode off and have a light source outside, it may reflect from the blinds and glare on the window glass ruining the video again. it works just fine in the day light though.

Finally an easy to set up camera that is wireless and connects to wireless! Video quality great. Night video good too. But, it often disconnects from my wireless Internet. Nothing else connected has that problem. Sometimes wireless drops in strength, but Dropcam shouldn't totally disconnect. To serve its purpose, should be reliable! Also, paid for cloud service because after initial free period, couldn't access ANY video but live video. Not clear when you buy that you'll have NO access to the video you get "motion detected" notices for unless you pay another $99/year. The cloud service is just okay...spotty sometimes when trying to watch even recent video moments. Idea is good, needs tweaking. Overall, a good product--best for its price and ease of use I've seen, but not 5 star yet.

I purchased the Dropcam for the lake house and planned on using it for the warm months so that I can view the lake when not there. I went to check on the place in January and hooked it up (Easy) and have been enjoying watching the lake freeze. The specs on the Dropcam says that it will function between 30 and 90 degrees. Well this morning the temps dipped to -20 and it still worked! I was able to use the zoom function too. This is an amazing product and I'm really glad I bought it!

The dropcam has an excellent picture and is easy to setup. I have the NEST Smoke detector so I get a picture of the area when the smoke alarm goes off. (only once so far). Nice build quality (metal). It would be nice if some kind of local storage option was included is my only issue as the recording options. (starts at $99 per year) seem a little high to me. (10 or 30 dollars a month depending on recording duration option)
