    No disappointment, works as advertised. Only thing that sucks is the subscription but it looks to be worth it.

    I can’t get through the set up because the battery dies on the middle of set up. When I plug it in again to charge it takes hours. It might be a good system if the battery last beyond set up.

    It is bigger than what i expected. It does its purpose in recording and showing what is at the door. I won't give it a higher rating beacuse of the delay in video and sound and also the battery dies very quickly
