    These cameras are okay but not the best. Its only captures by movement if theres a new movement right away it doesnt capture. Also this new version only works for free for 30 days after that you need a pay a subscription for them to work

    I liked these so well I bought more. I'm running 10 cameras now and everything works fine together. The range from camera to wifi device is good and I get few dropped signals.

    Minnesota buyer here. My main concern was our winter weather. These cameras were working flawlessly at -18 not including wind chill. I had one issue with one cold day of weather. I was not home but the system came back by noon that day. So i dont know if it was snow on top or maybe my wireless connection. ( The day was cold but not negatives ). Overall these are amazing for home security. Make sure you buy a memory card for when your free trial expires. The videos load slower but whats an extra 10 or 15 second vs a subscription.( dont skimp on a smaller gb card, im pretty sure i still have my first videos on save from maybe a year ago?) Also on the opposite side of weather we have not had extreme heat maybe low 80's last year but anything higher i do not know how they handle. The installation was extremely easy. Set the mounts up and then link the cameras before mounting. Then adjust after running and mounted for better visual since you will be able to see on your phone what they are seeing. Battery life has been maybe shy of a year? Extreme cold and moderate heat off on my end (thee double AA's per camera if i remember) My first camera died just this week. Also IF IN EXTREME COLD NOTIFICATIONS WILL TELL YOU ON YOUR APP ABOUT LOW BATTERY LIFE. MY BATTERIES WERE "NEEDING REPLACEMENT BATTERIES" A MONTH INTO THE COLD. I NEVER REPLACED AND RAN OFF A SLIVER OF BATTERY LIFE THE WHOLE WINTER. Just review your app every couple days to make sure they are running. I hope this review helped some!

    These cameras are super easy to set up and the battery lasts for a really long time, even if there is a lot of use! The WiFi hub if located correctly provides great coverage so I can have my whole outside on camera! The only draw back is you can only view the cameras from your phone and they don’t work with google home, only Amazon.
