Do not buy these!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery dies in a matter of days! Thought it was odd since it said the battery would last a long time so we replaced the cameras and the new ones also died extremely quickly. Worst case: they’re connected to the solar panels! If you insist on buying these get a protection plan!!!!!!!

Buyer Beware
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Out of the box only one camera connected to the app. The other two refused to connect at all. After hours of troubleshooting and contacting support for assistance none of the cameras would connect. Including the one that initially worked. I returned them. If you take the chance and buy them then save your packaging and receipt.

Small yet powerful camera
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these cameras because I needed to monitor who comes and goes when I am not home and they are the best investment I have made. They are small but powerful. The picture is so clear and even at night the images are crystal clear. Two way audio. Detects people animals cars. Anything really. The sensitivity can be adjusted also . Easy set up. My only complaint would be that me and my husband can't both be logged in at same time. And also a small delay.
