I purchased 4 of these for when I was out of town on vacation to be able to view my home from the inside. I did like the alerts I received and the sound and picture is great. The only downfall with these cams is that it limits your view time so if you are watching a room and you watch for more than the time limit which is a few minutes it will ask if you wish to continue and you have to press continue on your phone or it closes cam view. I also do not like the fact it must be paired to your phone as I had a problem with a power outage and when it came back on at my home the cams were all offline and no way to get back on till I got home, Even after I got back home and tried to reconnect them I could not get them all to work again or even set up to view. I did like the picture and sound but the other issues were more than it is worth so I returned them as they did not fit my needs. I think if it allowed unlimited view time and had an easier and remote set up option I would have kept them but this did not work in my opinion.

Clear picture in daylight or darkness with wide viewing angles. Small enough to be somewhat discreet, the only drawback is the cord plug in. View your home or keep an eye on lived ones at all times with in instant pics/video on your phone wherever you go. No monthly fees.

This is a great purchase. Only thing that could make it better is if I could speak through the camera but I live it regardless.

I love it and even more so because it comes with 2! Having 2 kids under 3 it’s nice having one in their room and one in the living room. Picture is crisp and colorful and the night vision is amazing. So nice I got one for my moms house when she watches the kids!

If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive camera system for your home I would recommend the D-Link camera. Very easy to set up and works on your home Wifi. The only thing I might change is the wired power cord. I would prefer a rechargeable Lithium battery but for the price I really can't complain.

So, the D-Link name doesn't necessarily carry the stamp of impeccable quality as some other name brands. I personally have had hit-or-miss experiences with their products, usually where I had to deal with annoyances or use workarounds to make my setup work. Also, you tend to find their camera products in the below 4-star range from customer reviews.
I am happy to report that this setup was 100% user friendly and the shape of these cameras is perfect for outside of dog crates. Through the app, all I had to do was scan the QR code on the camera, then follow the rest of the setup. I really like this in contrast to the older models I have had, where buttons on the camera and the router had to be pressed to make a connection.
As far as the connection and video quality, I am so far impressed compared to the older cameras I had. The picture is definitely better.

I love my cameras. Great price and I love the app. I get movement notifications right to my phone and if I’m wearing my Apple Watch, I get them on there as well. Picture is 780 which is still good. Easy to plug and set up. Must buy.

for my purpose, this cylindrical format is best for installation. it is also very light that makes installation easier.
resolution is good and online access/app is excellent!
wifi is a bit weak and the farthest installation fails to re-connect to my router, but overall this is a good bargain at $120 for two.

This was an excellent buy for cameras however now I wished I got 1080’s. The 720 looks great but nothing compared to a higher resolution. These are nice because they are sleek and you can pretty much hide or store anywhere and people can’t tell they are cameras. I would recommend for a quick buy

Bought these because I was going out of state for 10 days and we live in an apartment so they constantly try to come in and out. They sent notifications when motion is detected and makes it easy to check them.

This camera set came in really handy when I was trying to set up a cheap camera set to look out for a crepy neighbor, the only downside is that if you want to record you have engage it manually and doesn’t record whenever it senses any noise or movement

I bought these to monitor inside my home. It said consistent video but really wasnt. The app was really confusing. Actually, they package came with instructions for the app which didnt work at all, I contacted support and that was a bit of a run around, but their prints must have been out of date because when I ended up looking on google (since support didnt help much) I realized they had mentioned the wrong app. The picture was good but false description for me on the usage and constant recording.

These D-Link - DCS Indoor 720p Wi-Fi Network Surveillance Cameras (2-Pack) - White were very easy to install to my WiFi router. The mydlink app is easy to use and set motion and/or audio triggers to notify me on my iOS device and record a clip to the mydlink cloud which you can then easily download to your device if necessary. You get 24 hours of storage for clip footage for free and if you need more they have different plans from which you can choose. The camera detects audio but doesn’t allow you to monitor the audio as either live footage or triggered cloud storage clips. But for on the cheap indoor video only surveillance this is a great deal.

It works great, can access it on my TV in another location via google home and Chrome cast. At 720 looks better than the 1080 ones I have. The only issue is after watching for more than 5 min. you have to re connect
