Many found setup to be straightforward and the price reasonable. However, some users experienced issues with the motion detection feature's reliability and occasional connectivity problems. Overall, the positive feedback on image quality and ease of use outweighs the reported concerns.

    I got this camera on sale so the price was definitely right! Overall it's a basic camera and setup was not too difficult. It's nice that you can use it through Alexa

    NOT A SUITABLE SECURITY CAMERA AT ALL

    Didn't work even after doing force resets on it and setting up the device multiple times. The camera is very good and very wide angle. The actual functionality of this camera as a "security camera" is HORRIBLE. It NEVER records or detects movement and I NEVER get notifications to my phone. Big thumbs down and for $60 + their outrageous $100/yr or $10/month fee for using 90% of the features that is absolute rubbish. Returning this tomorrow!

    Works very well for a lower cost security camera. Has all the software features you will need to monitor as well as having motion detection, microphone and speaker !

    Great value if you find them in special, there is a monthly charge for the cloud services, it misses some movement.

    Worthy of 4 1/2 stars. Sound quality is reasonably good, and picks up whispers. Video is quite good, even in the dark. Excellent performance at the price.

    its not great for security because you have to pay for actual benefits...but for the price, it was great for watching our dogs while we were at work.

    Camera works well but to have a permanent record of the views you need to purchase a one year subscription at $99.00 Question weather it is worth it?

    This camera quality is decent but the lights are too bright on it. Also there should be an option to turn the light off in the camera. When it is recording, there is a huge bright white light that illuminates most of the camera. It’s not something that would be good if you don’t want it to be seen.

    Works well, picture quality is good. My problem and the reason for the 3 star rating is the "Membership " that is required to use the features like seeing what happened yesterday, or to talk to someone in the house. The price was very attractive, but the final cost after membership, is too high.

    This one of the best security cameras I have purchased. It records awesome videos and is very easy to use. You have a lot of options for record settings. It works great with my iPhone x and I get notifications while home or away. The talk option is a great plus. There are other options. Read description for more.
