Have in front while the other is in back to record proof of loud neighbor after hrs yelling having parties. This one caught the car wash guy they hired. Dump his vacuum crap in front of our place along the curb. Went out and got his plates and he saw questioning I told him he needs to clean it up I got in on camera. If he dumps like this that means he dumps other stuff too and it may not be as small. This was from his first vehicle he cleaned and still had more to do. The camera is so good on zoom you could see his shorts were wet. Gross. Wonder if there cars smell like pee if he had to sit while cleaning.

The cameras worked fine for a few months, but have recently been going offline for periods of anywhere from a few minutes to weeks at a time. I bought three of them and all are randomly going offline. The app does not allow for a remote re-set, so if they don't come back on by themselves I have to drive to where they are installed and pull them out of the housing.

No support nor people to talk about it.
I have to turn them off so I can work or sleep...what makes no sense for having cameras that are offline.

Trash. $350 amd you get two cameras partially charged up, one charging cable only. Sitting this “pro” camera right next to the Orbi mesh router and it gives Poor video bandwidth. As normal this camera is a boy able to use 2.4ghz. So the “2k” video is never met.
Also, thanks me of the two devices right out of the box had a rattle and was scuffed up. Guess it was not “new?” Returning this.

Overall, it's a huge step up from where I'm coming from (Arlo Pro, 3 camera kit). There are a lot of fantastic things with this camera...but I had to take a star off for the ridiculous claim of having a 6 month battery life.
Pros:
- 2k picture quality looks great
- much improved motion detection compared to my Arlo Pros
- Color night vision with spotlight
- Siren
- Can connect direct to wifi without a base station (however in my installation I still have my 3 Arlo pros in play and the new Arlo Pro 4 connected just fine to my base station)
- Smart alerts are very helpful (granted it's part of paid subscription)
Cons:
- battery hog. Granted I've got my motion sensitivity cranked up, highest video quality, and had a lot of traffic in the last week so it triggered a lot. However I would have been shocked if I made it a month. So I ended up ordering solar panel. TBD if it can keep up. Be prepared to either
(a) charge more than the claimed 6 month battery life or (b) find yourself getting solar panel or outdoor wire for plugging in.
- not a fan of the magnetic mounts. I wish it came with the stable, solid mounts like the Pro did. When I hang the magnetic mounts upside-down under my eaves, the camera just seems unsecure.
Again, it's a fantastic camera. A couple of drawbacks, however. It does what I need and is a great upgrade from my Arlo Pros.

The camera audio and video quality is great. The setup was relatively easy. I had to press the camera's reset button to sync to my phone. The installation was a pain. The mounting bracket it comes with is not adjustable. It should come with such instead of having to buy it separately, especially as it may need to be mounted high, which our camera was. It should also come with a charging cord. We had to purchase a 25 ft one separately cuz the battery drained quickly as we live in a high traffic apartment community. It became a hassle to have to climb a ladder monthly to charge the battery, even if you have a spare or XL battery. The charging cord was a must. Just keep it attached and plug it in as needed. As for function, the camera is sensitive and picks up mostly everything. It takes some configuring to get the angle right. You can adjust the motion detection area. You can also adjust the motion detection sensitivity in the settings. The night vision is amazing. Can see clear as day. Rarely grainy unless high winds. Our modem/router is close by and set to 2.4 ghz wi-fi signal. Always be sure to locate any other cameras at least six feet apart from each other so there is no interference and interruption between the cameras. Overall, very happy with our camera.

This is our first home security system. We have limited experience with our Arlo product. Installed external to the home prior to departure on an extended trip. Solid first impression. Easy installation and simple battery maintenance. Clear picture and sound. Sensors detect audible and visual interference both near and far with prompt notifications to your phone. Our only issue is the battery life. It does not last as long as advertised. In our limited experience, battery life is dependent on internet connectivity relative to camera location. Because we do not have a strong internet connection / service provider we experience significant lag and the units likely expend a significant amount of their power source searching / connecting. So under perfect conditions you may get up to or exceeding 30 days. Our experience is 1-2 weeks maximum battery life. Can update review once we have had the system in place with further knowledge of it's capabilities.
