A:AnswerI have an Iphone but my husband has a samsung and this camera works fine on his phone, easy to set up and use. Notifications to both our phones.
A:AnswerWell, yes. As long as it is protected from rain, as it is made for indoor use. And your wifi can reach it. Consider putting it in an upstairs window looking out.
A:AnswerNo. The connector is only for power with the provided micro-USB flat cable which connects to the phone charger-type wall wart. It does nothing when you connect it to a computer except charge. Wifi to your smartphone only. Basically, it's designed for their system with cloud storage through their main system hub for the versatility it was designed for. I bought it as a standalone because I didn't understand that limitation. But the camera itself DOES provide a nice normal and infrared image with sound. But if you're not interested in the system (I may be at a later date), look elsewhere.
A:AnswerIt does not charge! It is constantly powered by a wall wart phone charger with a flat cable so you need to mount it close to a receptacle (or get an extension).
A:AnswerDocumentation that comes with the camera is poor. My Android is version 7.1.1 and my iPad iOS is 10.3.3, and neither one worked with the camera setup.
A:AnswerThere Alexa skills that can be enabled but currently, its very limited to what you can do. Basicslly arm the system. Go to the Simplisafe website for more info.
