    Great camera. I’ve had vivient in the past but I prefer this personally. It’s wireless but there’s also the option to purchase the solar panel charger which I also purchased to keep my camera powered at all times. Great products

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
