    Easy set-up from downloading the app to scanning the underside of base to install into app. Basically plug & play. App makes everything really simple and clear to follow. Originally got one, but kept adding until 3 currently. Very functional and easy to rotate near 320 degrees all directions. Glad to have bought them.

    I was a little skeptical about this camera version however after hooking it up, I was very impressed. Ended up returning my other Dlink 1080p camera and swapped it out for this. The quality is very good and responds well to commands. Also dlink app is awesome for it. I recommend this if you want to view multiple angles.

    We love this camera. Great views. Notifies us if anyone enters. We can talk to them. Can take their picture. We can view if from anywhere. We want to see who's inside, not outside!

    I bought this D-Link Camera to use as a indoor entry monitoring camera. It can be connected Wi-Fi or Ethernet and it performs great. It also includes presets so you can quickly recall a particular Pan & Tilt Location.

    I love how you can pan around the room. Love how it has a mic and you can talk and listen. It did however take me a while to figure out how to use it as far as setting a time to record. They could use better instructions on that. But overall the picture is great, the night vision is awesome

    The camera works fine, but there were/are some minor annoyances that really left me wanting more. First, you're limited by the AC adapter to mounting the unit near an outlet. While I knew this going in, and the cord is fairly long, my original plan to plug it into a recessed outlet above my kitchen sink was thwarted by the physical size of the plug. It was far to wide for the recessed outlet, so I ended up having to route the cord down the face of my upper cabinets to reach the nearest outlet. Secondly, if you mount the unit to a wall, or other vertical surface, be aware that the camera will not rotate to keep the picture orientation steady. You're basically limited to panning up or down without having to rotate your phone or crane your neck to see the correct orientation. Not a BIG deal, but still a little annoying. The app on my phone is a little finicky, and sometimes needs to be restarted, but otherwise works fine. On the plus side, there were no issues with setup, and the picture is clear enough that I can see my dog blink and breathe from about 20 feet away. The camera has given my wife and I peace of mind by allowing us to check in on the house/dog while we're away, and ultimately, I have no regrets about this purchase.

    After several weeks of use I can firmly say that the camera is an excellent addition to my system. The motion setting even at its highest setting has a delay that is a bit troublesome in that it doesn’t catch the complete action BUT it’s enough. The focus, the resolution, it’s ability to see at night, swivels and rotate is great. Definitely will buy a second camera!

    Excellent camera for the basic features that we wanted: motion sensor, night vision, backup recording. We were pleasantly surprised with the clarity of the audio features, including listening to the monitored room and speaking through the camera. Night vision is phenomenal, as well as the pan and zoom capabilities. Biggest cons: the app is not terribly user friendly and the recording is frustrating if you have pets. IE, it record every time there is motion detected, but only in small clips. So every day our pets were active, we had hundreds of little recorded clips we had to parse through, instead of just one long stream we could rewind and review from start to finish. Would absolutely recommend this for homes with little activity during the day or where you want to view the live stream on a regular basis. The recording features could use some work.

    This product is good, it works if you know what you are doing. For instance, the app needs work. It is also a challenge to get the product to record images. To my misunderstanding, it did not record to a SD card like I though it did. Perhaps it’s different if you are recording on some sort of wireless network. Paying for that service was not in the cards for me. (The service the camera creators provide) It does have a clear image, and the app does work okay. Camera can be moved around from the app and also be recorded to your phone. Though on some phones the picture comes out blurry. (This may not be the case for all). It does have a speaker which I believe is located on the app. Others can hear you from the camera. All in all it’s a decent camera. Getting it on a wireless network to save you’re footage is probably the safest bet.

    Good for a security camera

    I bought this camera to view the interior of my winter home in Florida while I am in NY. It was simple to set up and connect to the Internet. At first I was getting multiple security alerts and was concerned until I realized most of the alerts were from when lights came on of off in the house. The unit is very sensitive to changing light condition. The ability to turn the camera from my Iphone is a distinct advantage. Thinking of buying another for NY house.

    Good cameras for money. Decent quality picture and night vision. A couple of times a week the camera disconnects from the WiFi, but then reconnects. Video can only be seen with D-Link app. Difficult to use the panning feature accurately, tap button, wait, nothing, tap button, wait, nothing then all taps take effect. Haven’t tried to record video either from SD card or the Cloud.

    For a PTZ at this price, it works well. Good quality choice of 1080p or 720p video recording, sound, and you can talk through the camera from the app on the phone. The app needs some work and can be a bit confusing sometimes but with updates I am sure it would get better.

    This is my first time with D-Link and that product was easy to install, had a great price point compared to their competitors, and has outstanding quality in the clarity. Home Run first time with D-Link.

    Fast and easy set-up. The app is compatible with my 4y.o. smart phone. Also the speaker quality is better than I expected. Bought this to monitor my elderly gandparent. I like the zoom and range of movement along with night vision. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the camera is hard to control. I move it right and it goes left.
