    Great quality camera. Battery life sucks when you have it on motion sensor which is very needed in todays times. Cant use solar panel for indoors.

    The picture quality is great. It’s easy to set up and get mounted on the house. I am disappointed with how long it takes to connect to a LIVE view on the app. If someone is knocking at my door….I click on Live View and sometimes it won’t even connect after multiple attempts. When and if it connects….the person has left. I have a strong connection for internet so I don’t know what the problem is. For this reason….I would not buy this product again. I’m considering returning it.

    I realized I needed a 2K camera to fill in an uncovered area. Swapped a 2K over to that area and bought the 1080 for a small area for a smaller price.
