    You can only view the live video for 30 minutes at a time and 1 hour if you pay a monthly subscription it's trash.

    Does not capture image until after motion is gone. It should start recording as soon as it detects motion but it does not. I use it just as an extra camera in the house, worthless as a motion detector recorder.

    The camera is ok at most. It honestly needs a lot of work especially at night time. It doesn’t pick up motion as you would want to at night and this is when cameras would usually be needed the most

    I Do Not Recomend This Camera

    This camera is set on the highest sensitivity level and still misses movements that travel just a couple feet in front of it. The notification feature has never worked. You have to go into the app to see if there has been any activity on the camera. I went to the store looking for a Ring camera and bought this because it was in stock. I have been sadly disappointed. It was inexpensive but I still would not recommend this Item.

    Save your money, these cameras cant do anything as simple as connecting to your home wifi successfully. Troubleshooted for an hour with no luck. Just buy a ring indoor camera.

    Camera was offline ,would not respond and had to contact support for getting it back on line. Also Amazon insists i use there cloud or the camera doesn’t work. I was unaware of this when I purchased the camera so now if I want to use it i can only view live and then everything disappears Not a good camera for security . .it would be nice if there was a feature that after you viewed videos I could save it to my own cloud and delete the rest

    Terrible quality picture and video especially at night. Even for the price. My Wyze cam is way better but notifications are a little slower to get to me with the Wyze cam. Like 5 to 10 seconds slower.

    I like my Ring cameras better. I am still learning how to use this. I has clips. I am not sure about arming and disarming. I got it with Echo Show 8 for an extra $5 bucks so I can't complain.

    Would like to return this set because testing it out left things to be desired, such as I wanted to have an indoor camera look outside through the window but that was a problem it was hindered because of IR's inability to penetrate the glass at night a very important time. Also the motion detector went off so many times for what I was unable to determine never for the mail person and I adjusted it in both directions. Then my password got changed and I couldn't use the app and recovery became way too distant so can I return?

    Would return if I could. First, it’s a paid subscription to use all features. Second, the cameras are not very sensitive. You have to be very obvious and move right in front of it for the camera to detect movement, and then camera only records about 30 seconds of that movement. Quality of the camera Is very good though but Overall, it’s a no. Not worth it.
