||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are good. I should have opted for the wired ones and the base so that it would provide me with full access and live content anytime but this was a personal preference.

I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Battery life
Disappointed. Battery goes down very fast...
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very disappointed. The battery power goes down quite fast. Within one week, the battery went from 100% to 50% even with a solar panel connected to the camera. If there is a manufacturing defect, I would like to exchange this with a product that meets the specification, quality and performance as advertised.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot Magnetic
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very hard to connect consistently to Wi-Fi but more importantly these do not have magnets you would need to actually mount them into your walls the Pro2s have magnets so they are a lot easier to hang around your house untethered.
