    I've two of them in place now to cover areas my present camera scheme can't cover. Really like the ease of use and the capabilities like motion detection. Small in size and can fit of a window ledge. I point one to my backyard so I can see what's going on during the day. A night theirs too much reflection from the Infra red night vision lights, but that is to be expected for indoor cameras. Very easy to download application and get the cameras connected and discovered by the Alexa App. I bought a bunch of other Echo products too. We love the convenience and have enjoyed learning what they all can do. Great stuff!

    Easy to use and Set Up

    These cameras are very easy to use. These are not 'online' all the time and to activate them you can either take a picture from the app or activate the short video recording. They work well in both normal light and low light settings. You can also 'arm' the cameras for them to detect movement and notify you when movement is detected. The only downside is that the cameras are not recording all the time. Therefore, if someone or something were to enter the house and you don't have the cameras recording, you will not be able to see who it was.

    Easy to set up. Video quality is good. Everything with the hardware is great. Would be five stars if Amazon didn't rope you into a monthly subscription so you can even save your video clips. I knew there had to be a catch to the cameras themselves being so cheap. Even with a blink sync module and a USB you still have to have a subscription to use the cameras as needed for basic home security. Very disappointing.

    Bought these cameras to keep an eye on my dog while I'm away from home. I have one in the bedroom and one in the living room area. The picture is clear, and I like that you can zoom in on your phone. Every once in awhile when I have an issue with the bedroom camera disconnecting randomly, which is why I dropped this down to 4 stars. Not sure if it's just my internet connection, but I've never had it happen with the living room camera. App is extremely easy to use and set up is quick and easy. You can name each camera so you know which room you're choosing to look at. Definitely recommend!

    OMG This is annoying! Well, only because we have it set for when we're not home, but when we are, we have to shut it down because it works really well. Great entry level.

    I love these security cameras that I purchased at the store because it was the sales clerk at Best Buy who suggested the cameras after telling him about my horrible experience that I had with a different brand. I use both cameras and they turn on once motion is detected. They were easy to physically setup, and downloading the app to my phones were quick and easy. The recordings take great videos and snapshots and when watching live motions. One downside that I hate is, when it loses the enternet signal causing it to stop recording.

    Awesome picture quality. Easy to set up. Good picture range. Customizable settings to tweak. The only thing that’s not the best is the night vision view. It’s not bad but it’s not great. You can still see what’s happening. Awesome product. We are using it to keep an eye on our dogs while at work. Definitely worth the peace of mind especially for the price.

    Easy to install and configure. Let's you know if it is unplugged or if there is movement. If you want it to record be prepared to pay for the plan. Price point on the plane is not bad. Wish it had a multiple camera option. You pay per cam. For the most part the software is intuitive. Not a lot of how do I even make this work. It is a setup and you are off.

    They work well if you can get them to connect to the internet. 8 had to go buy a Hotspot to connect it to because it would not connect to hotel internet. They do not move so you can not see what is not in the view that you left or to see. But it is a really good picture and you can zoom in/ out. Works in day or night and the speaker works well. I don't like that it does not notify me for noise but it does notify you for movement.

    For $35 this camera is great and what more could you ask for. For the price I am super surprised on the quality and what it can do....Like I said for $35 you shouldn't expect much but it's great. once you get the camera added in the app and ready to go...head to the settings and change some things. At default the camera is set to 720p HD. Change it to enhanced setting that will give you full HD 1080p. This camera has great picture and has a good view on it. You can set the motion detection on and change the Activity zones so you pick which spots you don't want detecting motion. The night vision is really good and the 2 way talk is great. They are offering free video storage until December 2020. After that its $3 a month for video storage or you can purchase the new Sync Module 2 that is coming out soon for $35 and you can add a memory card to it for your video storage needs.

    Second time buying this and it's a great camera overall. The video quality is great, although the sound leaves much to be desired. The night vision is extremely good as well. I just wish the viewing options were better. It does not have continuous video unless you pay for that service and it needs to be plugged in always so those two things suck.

    These cameras are really easy to set up and install, great quality pictures and video, as well as 2-way sound. The software is also user friendly and the price is phenomenal! I synched these cameras with the XT2 indoor/outdoor 3 camera package which comes with a synching device. Super easy to synch all of the cameras together and view all cameras on 1 screen. I highly recommend this system.
