Dropcam - Wireless High-Definition Video Monitoring Camera - Gray

I have had this camera up and running now for one month straight. It has been easy to use and works flawlesly. The internet interfce through google chroe and internet explorer has worked wonderfully. Nothing but high praises for this easy to use web cam.

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 bought this Dropcam to check in on my litter of puppies. It was a super-easy set-up, I just needed to move my FIOS Modem closer to the back of the house where the camera was to get a stronger signal. I like the apps and improvements they have made on zoom since getting the camera. My only complaint is that there is sporadic drops in the signal where I can't access the camera. I use night vision a lot and get a good picture in a dark room. Overall, I am very happy with this product.

I chose this camera for watching my house when I'm traveling. I do not need recording capability, but wanted notification if there is motion. I also did not want to spend a lot of time learning how to set up a camera. Other cameras for sale were of lower cost, but seemed more complicated. I was very pleased (and surprised) that I had this camera operating in minutes. That is why I give it 5 stars. The picture quality is adequate for my needs. My only minor complaint is that the motion alarm is triggered when the sun goes up or goes down even though the camera is indoors. Not a big deal, but I do get lots of notifications.

Bought this video camera for my son to keep an eye on his mischievous puppy. He was able to catch his dog in the act of doing something wrong while he was at work and was able to talk to and see the dog through his cell phone to make the dog stop. Very quick and easy to set up. Video has a slight delay, but not too bad.

This was installed at a business with a spare room, in the spare room, which was rented out to someone who wanted to be able to stream a dance class for children to the parents of the children via a shared account. It was simple enough to set up initially, but required a stronger WiFi signal than was available. Even though laptops, phones, and other devices could connect fine, this camera was choppy at best, and unable to connect at worst. It required buying a signal extender to function. While everything else ran fine on two bars of WiFi, this thing needed all four to connect without issue. I'd recommend it only if you are putting it somewhere with a very strong signal, or, if you don't have one, I'd suggest picking up a signal extender.

This camera was easy to set up and install and has good picture quality. I didn't realize until after I had purchased and installed the camera that an additional $99 was required for cloud recording otherwise it is only a live feed.

This is my first surveillance camera and I'm having a lot of fun with it. I just use it to keep an eye on my cats, but it's also a great security tool if you're worried about someone snooping around your place. I did my homework with several different brands, but none impressed me more than Dropcam. The camera is a very high quality unit. I'm thinking about purchasing another one for the office.
