    Waste of money. It says battery life for 6 months whereas it’s does not last even for 6 hours. I have turned off all the notifications except people on each of these cameras but still battery draining so fast. Complete disappointment with this purchase.

    Ive bought two of these. It was tricky to set up the first one and took me a very long time to get it to sync. The second one took me less than 15 minutes and was very easy. Both work as they should, apps easy to use and notifications are immediately. Battery lasts anywhere from 1-3 months depending on usage.
