Customers are saying

Customers recognize the HD Wi-Fi Camera's excellent camera quality, ease of use, and effective night vision as significant strengths. Many also appreciate its reasonable price and wide field of view, although some experienced difficulties with initial setup and occasional connectivity problems. A few users mentioned challenges with the app and the need to purchase an SD card separately. Overall, the positive feedback on image quality and usability outweighs the reported issues with setup and connectivity.

    We purchased this camera so we could keep an eye on our new dog while out of the house. We can see and hear our dog clearly. The camera works as described. The D Link app is easy to use.

    This is our second D Link camera (DCS 936L). It was much easier to add to our system because the challenge of the software had been accomplished when I installed the first camera.

    Camera is fine, app not so much

    The camera is fine and connects fine and has a decent image (with night vision and daylight), but the app is really lacking. You can't control how long of a recording it will take when it hears a noise or detects motion, which is a bummer. I mean, if someone is breaking into your house and all you get is 30-60 seconds then that's not very helpful. Other than that it's decent for the price.

    This is a good simple wifi security camera, easy to set up, can choose color or bw for viewing, night mode. A good solution if you just want a simple wifi camera for the house.

    The camera is better than the one I bought at US Cellular. It records the activity on a little SD card instead of paying for service. However, I have called the tech people several times, because even though I have the correct settings....I can't get an alert when there is movement and even though I turned off the sound, it still records with sound detection. My feelings on this one is back and forth.

    I played with the sensitivity settings on this camera until I returned it. The light changing in the room through out the day seemed to set off the motion detection. Turn the sensitivity down, then it would not pick up obvious movement of a person moving through part of the room. Image quality and other aspects were very good. If I had more time to play with it, I would have probably kept it.

    The camera is a great tool for keeping an eye on things when you're away from home. We recently lost a poodle buddy to our other surviving poodle and needed to see what he was doing now that he is on his own, after we left the house. The camera enabled us to see his behavior and gave us a good sense of his ability to be left alone. The only reason this did not receive 5-stars is that the set-up of the application on my laptop, and then on my iPhone was not as easy as the automatic process indicated it would be. I needed to call the technical support and after 30 minutes on the phone, the app was installed and functioning perfectly.

    Received some very good advice in the San Antonio store near North Star Mall before buying this product. We already had one "nanny" cam manufactured by D-Link so we wanted to stay with the same brand to use the same mobile app to monitor it. It was easy to set-up via WiFi at home, and it provides for easy viewing on the D-Link app. Only issue we have is that it does sometimes lose connection to the router. In the month, we've had it I'd say it loses connection about once every 4-5 days or so. Sometimes it will re-connect itself; sometimes it requires a harder "reboot" (unplug, replug). Other than that, it works great!
