    I bought the pack of 3 essential cameras and my god they are phenomenal. You can see everything in real time without lag, you can hear everything clear as daylight, they were easy to install. This is by far the best security camera system I have ever purchased. 10/10 would recommend. Also purchased the warranty through Best Buy and I’m sure it is 100% worth it.

    Overall this is a good camera, set up is easy as long as your phone is 2 ghz wifi capable. Picture quality is good, audio is clear but 2 way audio is low. Customer service takes a while to get but they are helpful. You have to pay for a subscription to get recordings amd my recordings have been hit and miss. I will get a notification of motion but no recordings so not sure if its the camera or the app. Overall good quality for the price will get more.

    Works just like the Arlo pro 3. The only down side is it charges via micro USB and you can't remove battery.
