    The battery died within 2 days after charging. I had the zone area and the motion set to 50% and the battery still drained. The video quality was good on 2 of the cameras but one had a pink haze.

    It worked great for 6 months. Then, it started overheating when I charged it. When it overheats, it will shut down and pause charging. Definitely will not purchase again.

    The cameras are fine, but they have to be charged too often to be effective. Sadly, we kissed the return date, so we’re stuck with these. But honestly, buy the solar ones instead. You’ll be happier.

    I'm still waiting for Best buy to install my solar panels for the 2 back cameras. They sent 2 wrong solar panels with my cameras & the installer took them back to the store because they were the wrong solar panels. Now my cameras in the back are dead.

    Put it up, had everything going, quality looked very good. Then about a week after installation, camera refused to stay connected to wifi. Router was maybe 50 feet away along back of the house, and worked daily, then just dropped connection. Factory reset it, had it connected, then quit again. Just returned it instead of wasting more time on it.

    Cameras don’t really last a good amount, having to take them down and charge them every 3-5 days. Wish I could’ve returned them when I had the chance.
