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.

    I was looking at something not really expensive and which served the purpose. The only problem with the motion sensing is that the change in light (day to night and night to day), it starts capturing the images as it detected some kind of motion. (no big deal)..

    Camera shuts down a lot and takes a long time to re-connect when streaming. It ultimately works but not too reliable if you need continuous monitoring.

    The image is crystal clear but I guess I need one that can record constantly. So, if that's what you need, this is not the camera you're looking for.

    This was an excellent choice that I made at best buy. I had great help and service support. The D-Link WIFI Camera is 16ft vision, which is great distance. Plus the added feature of Night Vision, wonderful.

    Love this camera! Very easy to hide for privacy, good picture quality, and sound from the other side is easy to hear. Don't like how you have to continually "connect" when in the live view on your smartphone, but still overall a really good camera for the price.

    I like the camera - easy to setup...easy to place... only issue is that the picture is small so it can be difficult to identify the person.

    Their equipment is a bit temperamental when it comes to firmware updates and behavior in wi-fi (which is why you usually buy it). The cameras are good and easy to install, just make certain you are able to keep them updated. The app is easy to use as well.

    So far the camera is working great. The picture quality is very good even in pitch dark. It seems very sensitive to lighting as it goes off when outside light changes or shadows show through the blinds

    Great camera. I will be purchasing a few more in the future. Has great image, great wifi reception, just over all a fantastic camera. There's no delay between sound and when the sound hits the camerA.

    Easy to connect to, colors come through nicely. I also have the higher end DLink one, placed where I can see different angles/views within my home. All easy to view on my smartphone, iPad, and laptop.

    The software supporting this camera is difficult to use, unreliable and just does not work. I found very little documentation and reaching tech support was next to impossible - on hold for more than 30 minutes and I gave up. The camera's image quality and sound is good. One of the two I bought would often drop off line (WiFi); I am not sure why. The poor quality of the software apps, both PC and Mobile are what make it not worth the money.

    Great camera for the price. It helps you keep a watch on your house/room when you're away, but it sometimes disconnects and does not record. The camera only lets you record in 1 minute increments, which causes video reviews to be quite cumbersome.

    It's a great monitor. Camera is very clear either Day or night. I know it doesn't have a rotation feature but covers the whole room and the Xoom feature is great anyway. It's a good purchase.

    I purchased one D-link - Hd Wi-fi Camera. After struggling a little to get it set up (I'm old) I liked it so much that I bought a second unit. It was easier to set up. So far they work great.

    This camera does everything you'd want it to do. Have a web interface to manage it. Remotely accessible via mydlink website. Also does area detection for watching your patio or whatever. Bummer part? Yeah, the super short power cable.
