Excellent little cameras. Picture quality, ease of setup, small size and price make up for any inconveniences from not being battery powered.

I love these cameras. Easy to install and give a great picture. Videos and pics are good even in dark situations. Excellent in lighted places. I have purchased many (18 for 3 houses). Highly recommend.

Purchased these cameras as a means to face them outside to watch the front and back of my home. I didn't consider the fact of reflection before purchasing them. It is pretty noticeable in the live camera feed/recorded clips, but I won't blame that on the design.
Pros:
- Solid build quality
- Super easy setup
- App is user-friendly (It has 3 out of 5 stars on the iOS store -- Couldn't imagine why. No problems using it)
- Affordable entry level home surveillance
Cons:
- As mentioned above, it should be used mainly for facing inside your home and not outside.

I added this wired mini camera to my existing Blink wireless kit.
Setup was easy, with the added benefit of this camera running off a USB adaptor. The only rub was that the adaptor in the box was dead on arrival. Since I have a drawer full of USB adaptors, I scrounged one that came from an Echo Dot.
The camera works reliably, capturing an alternate view from my Blink doorbell camera of my front door. In my setup, the doorbell camera gets the side/profile view, and the mini gets the frontal view of anyone who comes to my door.
The IR view is less than stellar with most cameras. To address this, I disabled the IR function, and rely on a motion sensor light to provide sufficient lighting, and the best video quality possible.
I have no complaints, and I really appreciate the low price. This isn't the best quality camera on the market. But then again, it does what it needs to do, keeping an eye on my home.
The app is required, and if you want local storage, you will also need to buy the Sync 2 module. When compared to the monthly fees many of the competitors charge for video storage, I prefer this option of having all my videos stored in my own home, and not the cloud, where there is a monthly fee.
This beats the old DVR setups with wires running everywhere, and the spinning hard disk making a constant racket by a huge margin. Easier setup, and a much lower cost is just the icing on the cake.

Very good and responsive! I do appreciate how easy it is to navigate through the mobile app due to the cameras being more for my grandmother than myself.

The price was right. These were easy to set up, and the smart phone app works well. We use these to monitor our pets. They are just the right size too.

We purchased these cameras to pair with our Echo Show on the recommendation of a friend, and I’m so glad we did! We had just gotten a new puppy and wanted to keep an eye on her while we were at work. These have given us the ability to position them just about anywhere in the house since they are small I like the option of either mounting the camera or just letting it sit on a counter and then moved when not needed. The ability to talk through the camera is beneficial when the pup was doing something she should be as well.
